Comparison of manually and mechanically mixed glass ionomers.
Two mechanically mixed glass ionomer restorative materials (Ketac-Fil and Fuji Cap II) were compared with two manually mixed products (Chelon-Fil and Fuji Type II). One manually mixed material was substantially weaker than the others in bond strength tests. No significant differences in microleakage were found among the materials.
