Q

– Resin-Modified Glass Ionomers
(3)

A
  • Improved esthetics and handling characteristics
  • Complex setting reactions-classic GI acid-base reaction as
    well as a light activated resin polymerization. Some have
    an additional chemical-cure reaction and can set in the
    absence of light.

(6)

A
  • Improved handling
  • Decreased viscosity
  • Lengthens shelf life before gelation
  • Increased working time
  • Shortened setting time

Q

Caries
Control
* This may involve use of — or cavitated lesions or partial caries removal and interim
restoration of all cavitated caries lesions (usually during
1-2 appointments and restoring with glass ionomer) or a
combination of both. This is critical to reduce the — and prevent further progression on the lesion
* Then, perform definitive restorative care once caries
control phase is complete.
* Most publications on GI materials state that GI is a —
releasing material, which implies protections from
secondary caries. However, GI materials must be
“—” with fluoride, which can then be re-released
in order to provide protection.
