Is It Time to Return to Conventional Glass Ionomer Cement?
Every cement for cementation of indirect restorations since the beginning of dentistry has had significant strengths and weaknesses. This task appears to be a difficult challenge for manufacturers since current cements are still having problems. Popular crown types do NOT have margins comparable in fit compared with previous metal restorations—the margins are open. It seems logical that cements must be cariostatic. Popular current cements are resin or resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI), and although RMGI is better than resin, it is clear they are not retaining crowns adequately. We need cements with more rigidity and cariostatic properties.
This article suggests the need to re-evaluate cements and suggests some changes.
This is one article from the February 2024 issue of Clinicians Report.
