Composition and characteristics of glass ionomer cements.
Glass ionomer cement materials are currently available for restoration, cavity lining and basing, luting, and preventive applications. The in vitro performance is a function of composition, manipulation, and placement. In general, the cements may be characterized as strong, stiff, hard materials that are adhesive to calcified tissue, have low toxicity, and are potentially anticariogenic through fluoride leaching.
