- Bond strength enamel- 2.6 to 9.6 Mpa dentin – 1.1 to 4.5 Mpa
- Surface conditioners - remove smear layer - increases surface energy - increases wettability and decreases contact angle

RECENT ADVANCES IN GIC
High viscosity GIC1. Developed as an alternative to amalgam.2. Also called as pack able / condensable GIC3. Has increased wear resistance.4. Decrease moisture sensitivity & solubility.5. Highly opaque & limited service life.
![Page 41: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Low viscosity GIC1. Also called as flowable GIC2. Use for lining, pit and fisure sealer,
endodontic sealer and for sealing hyper sensitive cervical area.
3. Low P:L ratio thus increase flow.Eg fuji lining LC, ketac – endo etc.
![Page 42: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Metal modified GIC1. Seed & Wilson (1980) invented miracle mix2. Mc lean & Gasser (1985) invented cermet3. Minimal improvement in mechanical
property - Compressive strength – 150 Mpa- KHN – 39 - Tensile strenght – slightly more 6.7 Mpa- Slight increase in wear resistance. -
![Page 43: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Fluoride release - Max for miracle mix (3350µg, 4040µg)- And min for cermet (200µg, 300µg)
Esthetically poor, may discolour teeth
Chemical adhesion, Anticariogenicity and rapid Hardening makes it use as core build up material
![Page 44: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Resin Modified GIC 1. Defined as hybrid cement that sets
partly by acid base reaction and partly by polymerisation reaction
2. Developed by Antonucci & Mithra 3. Powder – Ion leachable glass and
initiators liquid – water, Poly acrylic acid, HEMA
4. Setting reaction – initially acid base reaction, later polymerization reaction superimposes over acid base reaction.
5. Dual cure & tricure according to setting reaction.
![Page 45: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Properties
Esthetic – superior than conventional GIC
Fluoride release – same as conventional GIC but more for lining version
Strength –- tensile strength(20 Mpa)- Compressive strength (105 Mpa)- KHN (40)
![Page 46: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Adhesion to tooth structure – less than conventional GIC
Adhesion to composite restoration better than conventional GIC
Microleakage – due to polymerization shrinkage and reduce water and PAA content
Water sensitivity considerable reduce Biocompatibility – less than average.
![Page 47: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Advantages Long working time due to photo curing Decrease sensitivity to water (but not
significantly, Journal of Conservative Dentistry, June 2005)
Increase early strength Finishing & polishing can be done
immediately Improved tensile strength. Better adhesion to composite restoration Increase fluoride release.
![Page 48: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Disadvantage
Biocompatibility is controversial More setting shrinkage leading
increase microleakage and poor marginal adaptation
![Page 49: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Uses
As a luting cement As a liner and bases As a pit and fissure Core build up material Retrograde filling material
![Page 50: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Polyacid modified composite resin Also called as compomer Defined as : material that contain
both the essential components of GIC but in an amount insufficient to carry out acid base reaction in dark.
They are developed to combine fluoride release of GIC and durability of composite
![Page 51: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Composition: one paste system containing ion leach able glass, sodium fluoride, polyacid modified monomer but no water
Recently 2 paste or powder liquid system is introduced. They are self adhesive due to presence of water
![Page 52: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Setting reaction 1. Initially light curing forms resin
network around the glass 2. After 2 to 3 month there is water
uptake which initiates slow acid base reaction and fluoride release.
![Page 53: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Properties
Adhesion – absence of water thus no self adhesion
Fluoride release minimal. Physical properties better than
conventional GIC but less than composite.
![Page 54: GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS (2)](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061615/551d7d5f49795955198b4b93/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Bioactive glass Introduce by Hench in 1973 Acid dissolution of glass forms calcium and
phosphate rich layers The glass can form bioactive bonds with bone
cells Better than hydroxyapatite Can grow calcium and phosphate rich layer in
presence of calcium and phosphate saturated saliva.
They are less abrasive than feldspathic porcelain to opposing teeth
