Mixing - Shiny, Glossy Phase I (Ion-leaching phase) Polyacid extracts ions from glass powder Setting (3-6 min) - Rigid, Opaque Phase II ( Hydrogel phase) Ion cause formation of polyacid matrix Maturation (24 hrs – 1 yrs) More tooth-like color Phase III ( Polysalt gel phase) Silica gel forms and attaches powder to matrix
Fully set Glass Ionomer
Advantages Less shrinkage than polymerizing resin No free monomers , Non-irritating to pulp Coefficient of thermal expansion similar to dentin High compressive strength
Advantages Adhere chemically to enamel and dentin (hydrophilic)
Advantage Fluoride release and recharge (reservoir effect) Delbem et al., 2005
Disadvantages Poor abrasion resistance Average esthetic Technique sensitive Susceptible to take up additional water Hygroscopic expansion Susceptible to dehydration Crazing, Cracking
Disadvantages Wear rate Tensile strength
Conventional GI (capsule) Metal-reinforced GI Conventional GI (hand mix) Development of Glass Ionomer High viscous glass ionomer
Classification Self-cure glass ionomer Conventional glass ionomer Fuji II lining (GC Co., Japan) Ketac Fil Plus (3M ESPE, USA) Ketac Cem
Resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) Conventional GI RMGI Vitrebond , Vitremer Acid-base and light-polymerization reaction compete with and inhibit one another ( Berzin . et al , 2010)
Resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) Improve properties Set on demand Fewer desiccation and hydration problems Immediate finishing Better esthetics Tensile strength, fracture toughness Resistance to microleakage Bond to resin composite

RMGI - Restorative For Fuji II LC, 10% polyacrylic acid application is able to create micro-mechanical retention . ( Sidhu , 1999) For Vitremer , due to high amounts of HEMA, hydrolitic degradation of Vitremer -dentin bonds might be expected to occur. (Fritz et al ., 1996) In term of bond durability, sealing ability, Fuji II LC is better than Vitremer . ( Fagundes et al ., 2009)
