title: Surface characteristics of glass-ionomer cements when treated with cavity varnish.
abstract: Two glass-ionomer cements were evaluated. Sixty molds were prepared, 20 with a lining cement, 20 with a base cement, and 20 with a control cement. The samples were tested for hardness; the glass-ionomer materials proved to be significantly harder than the control.
