Marginal adaptation of glass-ionomer cements.
The effect of thermocycling on the marginal adaptation of two glass-ionomer cements was determined by means of scanning electron microscopy. Small gaps in the cement as well as at the enamel-cement interface were observed after curing, but these phenomena were not enhanced by thermocycling. Localized areas of surface deterioration were observed for both cements after thermocycling.
