The radiopacity of glass ionomer dental materials.
Although some glass ionomer dental materials are described as radiopaque by the manufacturer, it is rare for the actual degree of radiopacity to be specified. Using a technique previously described for measurement of the radiopacity of enamel, dentine and composite resin dental materials, the radiopacity of a number of glass ionomer materials, including restorative, lining and luting cements, was determined.
