Glass ionomer cement is a dental restorative material that sets via an acid-base reaction between a basic glass powder and an acidic polymer liquid. It was invented in 1969 and first reported in 1971 as a tooth-colored alternative to amalgam. Glass ionomer cement adheres well to tooth structure and releases fluoride to help prevent decay. It is used for applications such as luting, lining, filling cavities, and sealing fissures. The material consists of a calcium aluminofluorosilicate glass powder and an aqueous solution of polyacrylic acid or other polymers. When mixed, an acid-base reaction occurs where ions are extracted from the glass and migrate into the liquid phase to precipitate as polyan

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Â
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.

⢠Cement
⢠A cement is a substance that hardens to act as a base , liner ,filling material or adhesive to
bind devices or prosthesis to the tooth structure or to each other. (philipsâ science of dental
materials 12th edition)
⢠ADA specification number: 96
⢠During the last decades, an increasing variety of dental restorative materials have
conquered the market.
⢠Gold and ceramics are the main standard material used for indirect restorations, and until
the late seventies amalgam was used for direct restorations.
⢠Today, the decreased number of amalgam fillings is also influenced by a high demand for
tooth-colored and biocompatible restorations.

21. Hand mixing
Liquid should not stay on paper pad
longer than 1minute.
Donât mix beyond 30 seconds
The objective is â only wet the particle
â no dissolving it.
First half folded into liquid in 10-15seconds
Second half incorporated in 15 seconds
Small mixing area
22. Porosity
⢠Degree of porosity is incorporated in material, which is unavoidable.
⢠Because they are two part materials which require mixing
⢠Larger voidsâhand mixing
⢠Smaller voidsâmachine mixing
⢠Main hazard of porosity---reduce compressive and tensile strength because void may
promote crake propagation
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by
Graham J Mount glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
23. Correct consistency for hand mixed
⢠For luting and lining strings up to 3-4cm from mixing pad
⢠for restorative strings up to 1 cm from mixing pad.
24. Setting reaction
Showing extraction of ions from the glass, migration into aqueous
phase, & subsequent precipitation as polyanion hydrogels
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham
J Mount glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
25. SETTING REACTION
it is an acid base reaction between acidic polyelectrolyte and basic glass powder.
decomposition ---decomposition of glass powder by acid
resulting in release of ions
migration ---these ions migrate into aqueous medium
gelation ---caused by multivalent aluminium and calcium
ions displacing various spheres of hydration that
interpose themselves between cation-anion ion pairs
post set hardening and slow maturation ---hardening
and precipitation continue for about 24 hrs
accompanied by slight expansion under conditions of
high humidity and development of translucency.
26. STAGES OF SETTING REACTION
Unattacked
glass
particles
dispersed
in polyacid
liquid
Outer layer of glass
particles is depleted
of metal ions &
degraded to silica
gel.
Metal ions migrate to
liquid, where they

Initial gelation
Soluble metal
ions remain ..
The cement is
still vulnerable
to moisture
Fully hardened glass
ionomer in an
insoluble form
Cement is no longer
vulnerable to attack
by moisture
27. ⢠Stage 1 : Decomposition of glass & migration of metal ions (Dissolution)
⢠⢠20-30% of glass is attacked by polyacid
⢠⢠Surface of the glass particles decompose
⢠⢠Releasing metal ions (Al 3+ , Ca 2+ )
⢠⢠Glass network breaks down into silicic acid which polymerises at surface of the glass
powder
⢠⢠As pH of aqueous phase increases, polyacrylic acid will ionize & create electrostatic field
that will aid the migration of liberated cations into the aqueous phase
⢠⢠The ions thus migrate into the aqueous phase
⢠⢠As the negative charge increases, polymer chains unwind, viscosity increases
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J
Mount glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
28. ⢠Stage 2 : Precipitation of salts; gelation & hardening
⢠⢠At a critical pH & ionic concentration, precipitation of insoluble polyacrylates begins
⢠⢠Ca 2+ &Al 3+ bind to polyanions via carboxylate groups
⢠⢠The initial set is achieved by the cross-linking of the more readily available Ca 2+ (forming
clinically hard surface within 4minutes of start of mix)
⢠⢠Maturation occurs over the next 24hours when the less mobile Al 3+ become bound within
the cement matrix, leading to more rigid crosslinking between poly (alkenoic acid) chains
⢠⢠Aluminium polyacrylate ultimately predominates in the matrix
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J
Mount glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
29. ⢠At critical pH and ionic conc. Precipitation of insoluble poly acrylates takes place.
⢠Initial set occurs due to calcium polyacrylate but hardening of cement is due to slow formation
of aluminium polyacrylate
⢠When cement is not fully hardened Al, Ca, F and polyacrylate ions may leach out leading to
irretrievable loss of cement matrix
⢠Calcium acrylate is more vulnerable to water. So the freshly set cements are to be protected
Gelation and vulnerability to water

glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
30. Hardening and slow maturation
⢠This process continues for about 24 hrs
⢠Undergoes slight expansion and increase in translucency
⢠Cement becomes resistant to dessication and strength also increases for at least a year.
⢠Increase in strength and rigidity are associated with slow increase in cross linking.

33. SETTING TIME :
⢠It sets rapidly in the mouth and hardens to form a body having translucency that
matches enamel
⢠Setting time for type I âGIC â 5 -7 min
⢠Setting time for type IIâGIC --10 min
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J Mount

34. THE ROLE OF WATER
⢠Plays an important role in setting reaction and structure of cement.
⢠Acts as reaction medium
⢠Hydrates the siliceous microgel and metal poly acrylate salts.
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J Mount
glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
35. Early contamination
⢠Loss of calcium polyacrylate chains
⢠Loss of translucency
⢠Loss of physical properties
⢠Leaves cement susceptible to erosion
Dehydration
⢠Cracking & fissuring of cement
⢠Softening of surface
⢠Loss of matrix-forming ions
crack in unprotected gic
36. Water present in set cement can be classified in to two forms:
⢠a) loosely bound water
⢠b) tightly bound water
⢠LOOSELY BOUND WATER
⢠Its is the water which is readily removed by desiccation .
⢠Water is easily lost and gained by the cement as the loosely bound water is labile.
⢠TIGHTLY BOUND WATER
⢠Its is the water which cannot be removed .
⢠Its is associated with the hydration shell of cation-polyacrylate bond.
⢠As the cement ages the degree of of hydration â that is the ratio of tightly bound to loosely
bound water increases which in turn increases strength and modulus of elasticity and
decrease plasticity (according to wilson et al 1981).

37. Factors affecting setting characteristics
⢠Role of fluoride
⢠Effect of tartaric acid
Factors affecting rate of setting
⢠Glass composition
⢠Particle size
⢠Addition of tartaric acid
⢠Relative proportions of constituents
⢠Temperature of mixing
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J Mount
glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
38. Role of fluoride
Fluoride forms metal complexes
They retard the binding of cation to
anion sites on polyacrylate chain
Delays gelation & prolongs working
time
Release of H+
Acidity of paste increases
Delays pH dependant gelation
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J Mount
glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
39. Role of tartaric acid
⢠Tartaric acid is stronger than polyacrylic acid Forms stronger complex with Al Therefore increases
extraction of Al from glass
⢠Initially tartaric acid alone complexes cations As neutalisation proceeds & pH ~ 3 Polyacrylic acid
becomes neutralised by metal ions until cement sets at pH ~ 5-5.5
⢠Also ionization of polyacrylic acid is suppressed & unwinding of the chain is retarded, resulting in
decrease in viscosity & delaying gelation
⢠Once gelation occurs, tartaric acid accelerates hardening
⢠Tartaric acid & calcium react preferentially therefore initial set may be due to formation of
calcium tartarate
⢠Tartaric acid controls initial setting of cement
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J
Mount glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
40. Factors affecting rate of setting
1. Glass composition : increase in Al/Si ratio â faster set
2. Particle size : finer â faster set
3. Tartaric acid â sharpens set without shortening working time
4. Relative proportion of constituents â Powder : Liquid
5. Temperature of mixing â increase â faster set
Among these the factors within the province of the clinician are
Temperature of mixing
Powder : Liquid
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J Mount
glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
41. Factors within the province of the clinician
1. Temperature of mixing
⢠Chilling powder & mixing pad â increases working time up to 25% (Mc
Lean 1970)
⢠Increase in working time occurs without loss of physical properties
(Makinson 1978)
⢠Increase in humidity & temperature below dew point â weakens the cement
2. Powder : Liquid
⢠Increase in powder â faster set
⢠But insufficient liquid â decrease in translucency of the set cement

42. Setting reaction of light initiated auto cure material
⢠Involves enhancing speed of acid-base reaction by utilizing a simple physical principle
⢠No resin is added
⢠The glass ionomer is colored (Eg. red) ; on irradiation with a blue halogen activator light , acid-
base reaction will take place more rapidly
⢠Setting time is reduced dramatically
⢠No heat generation
⢠Physical properties not downgraded
⢠Highly bactericidal
⢠Flows easily
⢠Easily identified

43. RESIN COATING(protection of cement)
Water plays a key role for proper maturation of GIC.
⢠water contamination and dehydration during the initial setting stages can compromise the
physical properties of the restoration.
⢠It is recommended to strictly exclude water during the vulnerable setting stage, which is
reported to last for atleast one hour until even two weeks after placement.
⢠Petroleum jelly, cocoa butter, waterproof varnishes, and even nail varnishes have been
recommended as suitable surface coating agents.
⢠Coatings are lost by oral masticative wear, but by this time the cements become more
resistant to variations in water balance due to their posthardening.
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by
Graham J Mount glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
44. ⢠Among the coating strategies, light-polymerized resin coatings have been considered the
optimal surface protecting agent.
⢠Hotta et al. found, that the use of light-polymerized bonding or glazing agents are able to
limit water movement across the setting cement surface.
⢠Recently, a new restorative concept has been marketed (EquiaŽ, GC Europe, Leuven,
Belgium), a system application consisting of a posterior restorative GIC combined with a novel
nanofilled coating material.
⢠This self-adhesive, nanofilled resin coating that provides a high hydrophilicity combined with
an extremely low viscosity, accounts for a perfect seal of a GIC surface

Mount glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
51. ⢠Routine procedure for placement of any glass ionomer cement:
1. Prepare the cavity as smooth as possible.
2. Clean the tooth surface gently, where access permits, using a slury of plain pumice and water
3. Apply a libral coat of 10% ployacrylic acid for 10 secs.
4. Wash vigorously with water for 10 secs.
5. Dry lightly but do not dehydrate tooth surface.
6. Place GIC
7. Positive support with matrix band
8. Remove excess material
9. Immediately cover the cement with protective agent
10. Polishing of restoration.

52.
53. Sensitivity to luting cement
⢠GIC can be the cause of post operative sensitivity when used as luting agent under full
crown(vital tooth)
⢠Pulp is already inflamed because of previous trauma and this may further enhanced by crown
preparation
⢠Do not remove the smear layer by conditioning
⢠Seal the dentine tubules by applying mineralizing solution or resin dentine bond that contain
maleic acid
⢠Vent a crown prior to cementation to reduce internal pressure.
54. Finishing and Polishing methods
Type II.1 â Restorative esthetic ----1)resin modified
2)auto cure
2) Auto cure
⢠Because of slow setting chemistry, do not attempt to contour or polish at least for 24hrs
⢠Use a sharp blade only to reduce gross contour at the time of insertaion.
⢠After 24hrs, gross contoured can be achived with very fine sintered diamonds under air/water
spray at 20,000revs/min
⢠Refine the surface with graded rubber polishing points and cups at 5000revs/min
⢠Finish to a gloss with graded polishing disc at 3000revs/min
⢠seal with a low viscosity resin glaze.

⢠Compressive strength ranges between 60 and 300 Mpa and flexural strength up to 50 Mpa .
⢠GIC exhibit a significant increase (approximately 100%) in flexural as well as in compressive
strength when exposed to water in the period between 24 hours.

62. WEAR AND FATIGUE
⢠Deterioration is described in general terms of wear, marginal breakdown and fatigue
fracture due to cyclic loading.
⢠Braem et al.proposed average human chewing stresses between 5 MPa and 20 MPa at a
chewing frequency of approximately 2 Hz.
⢠The number of occlusal contacts per day at medium chewing forces was estimated to range
between 300 to 700 cycles.
⢠In dentistry, the loss of material due to non-antagonistic contacts have been defined as
occlusal contact free area (CFA) wear.
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J
Mount glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
63. ⢠Occlusal contact area (OCA) wear has been designated as material loss by direct interaction of
an antagonist with the restorative material.
⢠GIC exhibit a CFA wear five times higher than amalgam and three times higher than resin
composite materials.
⢠Failure mechanisms such as void nucleation, crack propagation and detachment of particles or
sudden, subcritical failure are common features in wear and fatigue.
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J
Mount glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
64. THERMAL COMPATIBILITY
⢠The tooth structure and restorative materials in the mouth will expand upon heating by hot
foods and beverages but will contract when exposed to cold substances.
⢠Such expansions and contractions may break the marginal seal of an inlay or other fillings in
the tooth, particularly if the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is great
between the tooth and the restorative material.
⢠practically relevant temperature range between 20 °C and 60 °C, materials such as resinous
composites and amalgam expand more than the tooth tissue, whereas porcelain and glass
ionomer cements are well adapted to the tooth tissue.
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J
Mount glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
65. ANTICARIOGENIC PROPERTIES
⢠Fluoride is the most effective agent in caries prevention.
⢠The metabolism of the bacteria that cause caries is inhibited and the resistance of enamel and
dentin is increased due to the remineralization of porous or softened enamel and dentin.
⢠Sustained, long-term fluoride release especially in marginal gaps between filling material and
tooth help prevent secondary caries of the dental tissues.
⢠For conventional GIC, an initial release of up to 10 ppm and a constant long-term release of 1
to 3 ppm over 10-15months was reported.
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J Mount
glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
66. Fluoride release
⢠The influence of fluoride action is seen of at least 3 mm around the glass ionomer restoration
⢠Released for a sustained period of 18 months (Wilson et al 1985)
⢠Thickly mixed cements release more flouride than thinly mixed ones.
⢠Fluoride release is restricted by sodium and to some,extent by calcium content.
⢠Water plays a critical role in the fluoride release of GIC , the aqueous phases of the set GIC
exist in the form of hydrogels that allow chemical equilibrium with an ion movement between
GIC and the oral cavity & surrounding tooth structures.
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J
Mount glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
67. ⢠GIC is also described as âsmartâ restorative material because apart from releasing fluoride to
surrounding tooth structure, they can also ârechargeâ themselves by fluorides.
⢠This is also referred to âreservoir effectâ.
⢠From saliva there is an ion exchange of fluoride ions diffusing from GIC
(area of high conc.) to the tooth (area of low fl conc.)
⢠Released fluoride is incorporated in to hydroxyapatite crystals of the enamel and dentin over
an area of approx. 1-3 mm surrounding the restoration forming hydroxyfluorapatite.
⢠Fluoride containing oral care products including topical fluoride gel applications,
tooth pastes and mouth rinses can recharge the GIC restoration with flouride

69. AESTHETICS
⢠Glass ionomer cement has got a degree of translucency because of its glass filler .
⢠Because of slow hydration reactions glass ionomer cements take at least 24 hrs to fully
mature & develop translucency.
⢠Early contamination with water reduces translucency.
⢠Dark shades are less translucent .
An atlas of glass ionomer cement- A clinician's guide 3rd edi by Graham J Mount
glass ionomer cement by Alan wilson and john kent
70. ⪠The esthetic quotient depends upon:-
1.Refractive index of glass particles and matrix
2.particle size
3.translucency of glass particles
⪠Specification limits of GIC 0.35 - 0.90 (for optimum aesthetics it is between 0.35 â 0.90 )

71. ADHESION
⢠Glass ionomers bond permanently to tooth structure and also to other polar
substrates such as base metals.
⢠Barriers of adhesion 1) water
2) dynamic nature of tooth material.

74. Erosion
⢠Erosion is as a result of chemical attack and mechanical wear
⢠Chemical erosion is due to acids generated by dental plaque,or contained in food and
beverages
⢠Acid erosion âglass ionomer < silicate < zinc phosphate < poly carboxylate

75. Biocompalibility
Glass ionomer cement showed greater inflammatory response than ZOE but less than Zn
phosphate cement, other cements but it resolved in 30 days (Garcia et al, 1981).
⢠Reasons for blandness (Mc Lean andWilson, 1974) -
1.poly acrylic acid is weak acid
2.Tendency of acid to dissociate in to H+ and polyacrylate ions is reduced after partial
neutralization which makes the acid weaker.
3.Acid is readily neutralized by Ca2+ ions in tubules.
4. Because of its higher molecular weight and chain entanglement there is
unlikely of diffusion of polyacid in to dentinal tubules.

(copolymer)
Ability to undergo both acidâbase and
polymerization reactions Helps form
interpenetrating network
Tartaric acid Sharpens the acidâbase reaction set
Water Permits reaction between the polyacid and
the glass
Photo-initiators Achieves light curing
91. ⢠Addition of polymerizable resins to the formulation is done to import additional curing process to
the original acid base reactions.
⢠The HEMA content is around 15-25% and water content is low to accommodate the
polymerizable ingredients.
⢠It is a powder : liquid system with P:L = 3:1
⢠These products are considered to be dual âcure cements if only one polymerization mechanism is
used , if both mechanisms are used they are considered to be tri-cure cements.
92. Setting reaction of resin-modified light cured materials
2 distinct mechanisms :
⢠The original acid â base setting reaction
⢠Vinyl polymerisation of acrylate groups that can be activated through the presence of photo
initiators such as camphorquinone

93. When mixed, original acid base reaction appears to continue without interruption
Resin component activation
Some degree of cross linking may be present between 2 matrices ;
both reactions may proceed without interference
Over time, any remaining resin not affected by light - activation may
undergo further chemical setting reaction

94. ⢠Importance of depth of cure
⢠1. Lack of water inhibition of acid-base reaction
⢠2. Residual HEMA in lower levels, closest to pulp
⢠3. Fully light activated restoration is notably superior in physical properties
⢠Therefore, depth of cure is important ;
⢠incremental build up recommended Unless, a mechanism for chemical curing of methacrylate
groups is incorporated âRedoxâ catalyst
⢠Allows for continuing polymerisation in absence of light activation, thus ensuring activation of any
remaining HEMA
⢠Micro â encapsulated potassium persulphate & ascorbic acid

⢠Free-radical metharylate cure
Relationship between the 2 reactions may take one of 2 forms
⢠Formation of 2 separate matrices
Ionomer salt hydrogel
Poly-HEMA matrix
⢠Multiple cross-linking pendant methacrylate groups may replace a small fraction of carboxylate
groups of polyacrylic acid, thus preventing separation of 2 potential Matrices

100. ⢠Adhesion:
to tooth is reduced. This is expected because of reduction in carboxylic acid in the liquid and
interruption of chemical bonding due to the resin matrix.
-Adhesion to composites is increased due to the presence of residual nonpolymerized
functional groups within the RMGIC
⢠Micro leakage:
A higher degree of Microleakage is seen due to polymerization shrinkage
⢠Due to reduced water and carboxylic acid content , reduces its wetting

118. POLYACID MODIFIED GIC /COMPOMER
OF COMPOMER
COMPOSITES
Definition: Compomer can be defined as a material that contains both the
essential components of GIC but at levels insufficient to promote the acid â
base curing reaction in the dark .
⢠Compomer is a combination of the word âcompâ for composite âomerâ for ionomer.
⢠Though introduced as type of GIC, it became apparent that terms in of
clinical use and performance it is best considered as a composite.

119. COMPOSITION
⢠Compomers are essentially a one â paste system containing ion leachable glass &
polymerizable acidic monomers with functional groups of polyacrylic acid & methacrylates in 1
molecule.
⢠NaF and some other fillers are also present for additional F release and
Radio opacity.
⢠There is no water in the formulation.
⢠Glass particles are partially silanated to ensure bonding

120. SETTING REACTION
Setting reaction occurs in 2 stages
⢠Stage 1:
In contrast to RMGIC, a typical composite resin network around
filler particles forms on light activation .
⢠Stage II :
occurs over 2-3 months when the water from the saliva gets absorbed and initiates a
slow acid base reaction with formation of hydro gels within the resin and low level
fluoride release.

121. PROPERTIES
⢠ADHESION: to tooth requires acid âetching because acid base reaction for ion exchange
requires water which does not occur for some time after placement.
⢠Bond strengths achieved usually approach the typical resin bonding systems.
It is = 18-24Mpa
⢠FLUORIDE RELEASE: is limited. It is significantly less than Type II or RMGIC. F release usually
starts after about 2-3 months; it peaks initially and then falls rapidly.
⢠PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: fracture toughness, flexural strength and
wear resistance are better than GIC but less than composite.
