Description:

Fourteen contributions report on recent progress in the formulation and understanding of glass-ionomer cements and the efficacy of the newer polyacid-modified resin materials in dental restoration. Several chapters cover the adhesion and fluoride release of these cements, including an assessment of how the cements attach to tooth structure and whether fluoride plays a role in the prevention of secondary caries around the restorations. Other topics are the use of glass-ionomers as bondings, linings, or bases; glass-ionomer luting cements; and the application of glass-ionomer cements in endodontics, pediatric dentistry, and class III and class V restorations.
