title: Advances in the use of glass-ionomeric cement. Part 2: Functional results of fine application of low-viscosity glass-ionomeric cement: animal experimental results.
abstract: An experimentally developed technique for microapplication of low-viscosity glass-ionomeric cement (see part 1) was tested in animals over a 6-month period. The cement was used to firmly connect gold with titanium and gold with middle ear ossicles in 22 adult foxhounds. After a 6-month period of acoustic stimulation via parts of an implantable hearing aid, the finely applied glass-ionomeric cement was integrated in situ, stable and caused no adverse reactions. The microapplication technique used proved to be easy, effective and provided long-term stability.
