Effects of glass composition and pretreatment on the reactivity of novel glass polyalkenoate (glass ionomers) dental cements.
This paper investigates some of the factors concerned in the reactivity of aluminoborate polyalkenoate cements.  Possible methods to control the reactivity of the glass powders are described.
