3. GLASS IONOMER CEMENT (GIC)
◦ GIC is the generic name for materials based on reaction of
glass powder and polyacyrlic acid.
◦ These cements where introduced in 1970 to improve clinical
performance compared with silicate cements and to reduce
pulp damage.
◦ GIC consider superior to many cements as it is adherent and
translucent.
◦ GIC has been used for esthetic restoration for ant teeth e.g
class 3 and 5 , as a luting agent, as intermediate restoration
and as a Lining cements and base.

4. ◦The glass Ionomer cements classified below :
◦TYPE 1 – Luting crowns, bridges and orthodontic
brackets
◦TYPE 2a - Esthetic restorative cements
◦TYPE 2b – Reinforced restorative cements
◦TYPE 3 – Lining cements and base

5. Glass composition
◦ It’s varies among manufactures but it Always have alumina , silica, calcia and
fluoride.
◦ The ratio of alumina to silica is key to their reactivity with Polyacrylic acid.
◦ Additionally it has barium, strontium and some other higher atomic number
metal oxide to increase glass radiopacity.
◦ Silica glass melts between 1100°c – 1500°c depending upon overall
composition.
◦ The glass is grounded Into powder With partical size ranging between 15
micrometer to 50 micrometer, depending upon indication.

6. Liquid composition
◦ Originally, Aqueous solution of Polyacrylic acid (About 40-
50%) were used. But such liquid has short shelf life due to
gelation.
◦ Currently the liquid are copolymer of itaconic acid, maleic
acid and tricarboxylic acid.
◦ Tartaric acid is a rate-controlling addictive in the GICs liquid
that allows a wide range of glasses to be used.

8. Clinical Manipulation
◦ The following condition for GIC must be satisfied for cementing fixed
prosthesis.
1. The surface of prepared tooth must be clean and blotted dry.
2. The Prosthesis must be coated with luting cement and seated
completely.
3. The excess cement must be removed at appropriate time.
◦ For restoravtive indication, the GIC surface must be protected to
prevent dehydration or premature exposure to saliva.

9. Surface Preparation
◦ Clean tooth surface is essential for sustained adhesion.
◦ Smear layer produced by prepared cavity can be removed
by a slurry of pumic stone.
◦ Alternatively, tooth can be etched by 34-37% phosphoric acid
or 10-20% Polyacrylic acid for 10-20sec. Followed by water
rinse.
◦ The surface should be dry and uncontaminated by blood and
saliva.

12. Biological and Mechanical Property
◦ Anticariogenic potential due to release of fluoride.
◦ Biocompatibility.
◦ Compressive strength – 200 MPa
◦ Flexural strength – 5-40 MPa
◦ Shear strength – 3-5 MPa

13. Metal-Reinforced Glass Ionomer
Cement
◦ Metallic fillers have been incorporated in GICs to improve
their fracture toughness and stress-bearing capacity.
◦ Metal-reinforced GIC are of limited in use as an alternative to
amalgam or composite for posterior restoration.
◦ They are weaker then resin bases composite cores.
◦ They harden rapidly which is useful for pedodontic cases.

14. High-Viscosity Glass Ionomer
Cement
◦ These GIC contain small glass particle size and use a higher
P/L ratio, yielding greater compressive strength.
◦ They exhibit excellent packability for better handling
characteristics.
◦ They are also used for core buildup, primary tooth filling, non-
stress bearing restoration and intermediate restorations.

15. Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer
Cement ( Hybrid Ionomer)
◦ Water soluble methacrylate base monomer have been used to replace
part of liquid component of conventional GIC results in a group of
materials called resin-Modified glass Ionomer cement.
◦ The monomer can be polymerized by a chemical or light activation or
both and the GIC acid base reaction will occur along with
polymerization.
◦ Some of these cement contain non-reactive filler particles, which
lengthens the working time, improve strength, make less sensitive to
moisture during setting.

16. Composition
◦Powder
◦ Alumino-silicate glass particle
◦ Polymerization initiator
◦ Chemical initiator – Benzoyl peroxide
◦ Photo-initiator – Camphroquinon
◦ Both – triple cured materials
◦Liquid
◦ Aqueous solution of poly alkenoic acid
◦ Polyacrylic acid having some carboxylic groups modified with methacrylate or
HEMA monomer

17. Setting Reaction
Theacid – base
reaction begin
upon mixing and
continue after
polymerization at
a much slower
rate than for
conventional
glass Ionomer
cement because
less water is
present.

18. Clinical Applications
◦ Liners
◦ Fissure sealants
◦ Base material
◦ Core buildup
◦ Repair material for damaged amalgam core or cusp
◦ Retrograde root filling material

19. Calcium Aluminate Glass Ionomer
Cement
◦ A hybrid product with a composition between that of calcium Aluminate
and GIC, designed for luting fixed prosthesis.
◦ The calcium Aluminate component is made by sintering a mixture of
high-purity Al2O3 and CaO ( approximately 1:1 molar ratio) to create
monocalcium Aluminate.
◦ The main ingredients in the powder of this hybrid cementare calcium
Aluminate, polyacrylic acid, tartaric acid, strontium-fluoro-alumino-glass
and strontium fluoride.

20. ◦ The liquid component contains 99.6% water and 0.4%
additives which controls setting.
◦ The calcium Aluminate has a basic pH during curing,
reduction in microleakage, excellent biocompatibility, and
long term stability and strength.

22. COMPOMER
◦ Compomer is a polyacid-modified composite made by incorporation glass particles of
GIC in water-free polyacid liquid monomer with appropriate initiator.
◦ The Rationale for using this material is the the integration of the fluoride releasing
capacity of Glass Ionomer with the durability of resin composites.
◦ Compomer process properties distinctly different from those of resin composites and
glass ionomer.
◦ Compomers are usually a one-paste, light-cure materials for restorative applications,
although powder liquid system is for luting application.

24. Composition
◦ Resin matrix-dimethacrylate monomers with two Carboxylic group
present in their structure
◦ Fillers-reactive silicate glass containing
◦ photoinitiators and stabilizer
◦ there is no water in composition and ion leachable glass is partially
Silanized to ensure bonding to matrix

25. Setting reaction
◦ These materials set by free radical polymerization reaction.
◦ there are two stages of polymerization reaction
◦ Stage I – Typical light activated composite resin polymerization
reaction occurs which helps in forming resin network enclosing the filler
particles. Reaction causes hardening of products.
◦ Stage II – it occur after initial setting the the restoration absorb water
and carboxyl group present in the polyacid and metal ions in the the
glass ionomer shows slow acid base reaction. This results in formation
of hydrogen it is like glass ionomer cement within the set resin
structure. Slow release of fluoride also occurs.

26. Manipulation
◦ For single component system the tooth is etched and bonding agent
applied. The material is injected into the cavity and cured by light.
◦ For powder liquid system the Powder and liquid is dispensed and
mixed according to the manufacture instruction for 30 second.
◦ For the automixing system the material comes out mixed when it is
forced through special mixing tips.

27. Uses
◦ Pits and fissure sealants
◦ Restoration of primary teeth
◦ liners and bases
◦ core buildup material
◦ for class III & V lesions

28. RESIN CEMENT
◦ Resin Cements are the newest type of cements used to lute and Bond
indirect restorations.
◦ They have higher compressive,tensile and flexual strength and wear
resistance compared to conventional luting cement.
◦ They comes in different shades and insoluble in oral fluids providing
better marginal seas than other cement types.
◦ Resin Cements should Bond both to the tooth structure and the internal
surface of restoration.

31. ◦Polymerization of the resin cement occur by chemical
light aur dual cure mechanism. The majority of resin
cements today are of dual cure variety. Light cure
resin cement is less common because of the potential
for incomplete polymerization of the cement under a
prosthesis.
