title: Glass ionomer endodontic sealers--a literature review.
abstract: The properties of endodontic glass ionomer sealers are summarized and compared to properties of Grossman's ideal sealer and a typical ZOE sealer. A review of the literature regarding glass ionomer and other endodontic sealers also is included. Endodontic glass ionomer sealer appears to be an alternative to conventional ZOE sealers in canals that are adequately isolated, instrumented, and dried.
