Smooth surface glass ionomer restoration for primary teeth.

Glass ionomer restorative cement offers the clinician an alternative to bonded composite resin for restoration of certain lesions in primary teeth. This article details a step-by-step procedure for restoration of a smooth surface carious lesion in a primary incisor using an encapsulated glass ionomer restorative material and reviews advantages and limitations of the cement. A light-hardened glass ionomer liner/base that has proven useful as an enamel and dentin restorative is also described.

A restorative dentistry renaissance for children: light-hardened glass ionomer/resin cement.

The light-hardened glass ionomer/resin dental restorative material was introduced in 1992. Its formula includes 80 percent glass ionomer material combined with a 20 percent visible light polymerized resin component. The authors have completed over 1300 class I, class III, and class V restorations in primary teeth, using the new material. The new material is considered by the authors to be a great improvement over the self-hardening glass ionomers. The addition of the 20 percent light-hardened resin component to the glass ionomer formula gives the material an initial setting time under sixty seconds, and improves resistance to wear and fracture.
