title: Evaluation of glass ionomer luting cements.
abstract: In the present study the three glass ionomer luting cements available on the Scandinavian market in June, 1982 were evaluated by comparison with a zinc phosphate and a zinc carboxylate cement. The following properties were tested: effective maximum grain size, retention, strength, bond strength to dentin, disintegration in and absorption of water and solubility in 0.001 n lactic acid. The glass ionomer cements proved to be fully acceptable luting materials.
