Cements and Liners — Glass Ionomer Cements

Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are widely valued for their chemical adhesion, fluoride release, and biocompatibility making them a mainstay in restorative and preventive dentistry.

These cements bond directly to enamel and dentin without the need for additional bonding agents, reducing procedural steps while maintaining reliable retention. Their fluoride-releasing property helps prevent secondary caries, making them ideal for pediatric, geriatric, and high-risk patients.

Glass ionomer cements are commonly used for cavity bases, core build-ups, luting crowns and bridges, and filling non-stress-bearing areas. They offer a perfect balance between strength, translucency, and ease of handling.

In restorative workflows, GICs provide durable adhesion while maintaining excellent marginal integrity. Clinicians rely on them for their simplicity and long-term protection benefits.

For dental professionals seeking a proven, versatile, and bioactive material, glass ionomer cements deliver unmatched performance and reliability across everyday dental applications.
