Influence of powder/liquid ratio on the radiodensity and diametral tensile strength of glass ionomer cements

Influence of powder/liquid ratio on the radiodensity and diametral tensile strength of glass ionomer cements

Clinicians tend to make reductions in glass ionomer power/liquid (P/L) ratios since some materials are difficult to mix and flow into small cavities, grooves or pits. In general, changing the P/L ratio decreases the physical and mechanical properties of conventional glass ionomer cements (GICs) and...
