description | Numerous positive properties of glass ionomer cements
including biocompatibility, bioactivity, releasing of fluoride
and good adhesion to hard dental tissue even under wet
conditions and easy of handling are reasons for their
wide use in paediatric and restorative dentistry. Their
biggest drawbacks are the weaker mechanical properties.
An important step forward in improving GIC’s features
is thermo-curing with the dental polymerization unit
during setting of the material. Due to their slow setting
characteristics the GIC is vulnerable to early exposure
to moisture. After thermo curing, cements retain all the
benefits of GIC with developed better mechanical properties,
improved marginal adaptation, increased microhardness and
shear bond strength. Adding external energy through thermocuring
or ultrasound during the setting of conventional GIC
is crucial to achieve faster and better initial mechanical
properties. Further clinical studies are needed to confirm
these findings. |
