title: Performance of a glass ionomer luting cement over 5 years in a general practice.
abstract: Over a 5-year period, 1435 teeth in patients under recall in a general dental practice have received cast restorations luted with a glass ionomer cement. The material has demonstrated an exceptionally low rate of secondary caries, excellent retention of castings, and acceptable compatability with the dental pulp.
