title: Resin-modified glass-ionomer materials. Part 1: Properties.
abstract: The resin-modified (light-cured) glassionomer cements were developed as hybrids of the conventional glass-ionomer materials to overcome some of their disadvantages. These new materials will be reviewed in two parts. This first article deals with their physical and biological properties. Part 2 will cover their clinical applications and handling.
