Glass Ionomer (GI) cement stands out among the variety of materials available as a dependable and adaptable choice, valued for its excellent qualities and distinctive composition.
A careful mixture of silicate glass powder and polyalkenoic acid liquid forms the basis of GlassIonomer.This combination of components produces a well-known material for its exceptional adhesion, capacity to release fluoride, and extraordinary resilience to wear and strain.
Adhesion Strength: One of GI'sHallmark features is its capacity to firmly stick to the tooth structure, reducing the likelihood of the slightest leakage and the emergence of secondary caries.
Fluoride Release: By acting as areservoir for fluoride ions, GI cements help to prevent decay and encourage tooth remineralization.
AestheticFlexibility: GI materials mix naturally with teeth, improving the restorations' overall aesthetic attractiveness.
