Glass Ionomer Cement is a dental material used for fillings, crowns, and other restorations. It is made from a mixture of glass powder and organic acids, which allows it to bond well with both tooth structure and dental materials. This cement releases fluoride, which can help protect teeth from decay. One of the key benefits of Glass Ionomer Cement is its ability to adhere to moist surfaces, making it useful in various dental procedures. It is also biocompatible, meaning it is safe for use in the body, and can be used in areas where aesthetics are less critical, such as in the back teeth.
