title: Glass ionomer (polyalkenoate) cement restorations.
abstract: Glass ionomer cements are recognized for their properties of reliable adhesion to tooth structure and fluoride release. The introduction of light-cured base and liner glass ionomer cements has overcome some of the disadvantages of self-cured materials. During the review period, most papers deal with either fluoride release, microleakage, or adhesion. There were few clinical studies.
