Made from a mixture of glass and an organic acid, glass ionomer cement is a tooth-coloured filling material available in different shades. It requires minimum tooth reduction and bonds chemically to ...

Tooth decay is a serious health problem and it is often necessary to repair cavities. Dentists often use a composite filling material made of acrylate compounds, as it resembles the color of the teeth ...

Condensable glass ionomer cements with metal additions such as Hi-Dense provide favourable handling characteristics in children with low compliance. Newer generation glass ionomers with higher ...

Using neutron imaging, European researchers have shown how the lower mechanical strength in glass ionomer cements results from the presence of pores and also the increased hydrogen mobility within the ...

Objective Aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical suitability of the condensable metal-reinforced glass ionomer cement Hi-Dense in classes I and II cavities of primary molars. Methods ...

Typical dental glass cement, a UK innovation, is made from glass powder, liquid polymer and water, and is the preferred non-toxic choice* to mercury amalgam, which has been used for filling teeth for ...

While amalgam, zinc oxide eugenol, or mineral trioxide aggregate are often used as filling materials for apical sealing in root canal therapy, is one better than another? Researchers from China ...
