Development of novel dental cements.  I.  Formulation of aluminoborate glasses.
Aluminoborate glasses were formulated as potential novel glass-ionomer cement components, and their reactivity with a polyalkenoic acid was assessed by means of working and setting time measurements.  Of the 20 prepared formulations, some containing fluoride, eight were found to have acceptable manipulative characteristics, and three of these formed hard set materials.
