IMPROVED TRADITIONAL GLASS IONOMERS
HIGHLY VISCOUS GLASS IONOMER
Due to the possibility of reduced secondary caries by
fluoride release and to the comparative ease of use of
conventional glass ionomers, further developments have
been made for posterior restorations in primary and
permanent dentition.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
This material was developed largely as a response to the
need for filling materials in the atraumatic Restorative
Therapy or “ART”.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
ART refers to the restorations of teeth under
conditions of minimal instrumentation currently in use
in third world nations where full dental care is not
always available.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
ADVANTAGES OF PACKABLE GIC OVER
CONVENTIONAL GIC ARE:


They are packable and condensable



They are easy to place



They are non-sticky



Early moisture sensitivity is reduced

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Rapid finishing can be carried out



Improved wear resistance.



Low solubility in oral fluids.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
DISADVANTAGES OF THESE GIC’S ARE:


Due to their opacity, they have esthetic disadvantages



They have limited life potential.



Moderately polishable

www.indiandentalacademy.com
LOW VISCOCITY GLASS IONOMERS
This type of glass ionomer has been developed as liners, fissure
protecting materials for hypersensitive cervical areas and
endodontic materials. Such materials are designed with low
powder-liquid ratios and highly flowable.
These are used as fissure protection materials during the eruption
Period of the teeth.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
METAL – MODIFIED GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS
Glass ionomer cements lack toughness and hence,
cannot withstand high-stress concentrations. GIC have
been modified by the inclusion of metal filler particles
in an attempt to improve toughness
Two methods of modifications have been employed.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
SILVER ALLOY ADMIX or MIRACLE MIX
Sced and wilson (1980) found that amalgam alloys could
be incorporated into glass ionomer cements and that these
served to increase the flexure strength. Spherical silver
amalgam alloy powder is mixed with Type II glass
ionomer powder in the ratio 7:1.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
CERMET – IONOMER CEMENTS:
In an attempt to improve the abrasion resistance and strength
of GIC, McLean and Gasser(1985) developed the “cermet”ionomer. These cements, unlike simple mixtures of alloy
particles or metal fibres, contain glass-metal powders sintered
to high density that can be made to react with polyacids to
form a cement.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
INDICATIONS:


As an alternative to amalgam in conservative Class I
cavities in primary teeth.



Core build –up material



Lining of class II amalgam restorations.



Root caps for teeth under overdentures



Preventive restorations and temporary posterior

restorations.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Anterior restorations.
Areas subjected to high occlusal loading.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
RESIN – MODIFIED GLASS IONOMER CEMENT:
Low early strength and moisture sensitivity of the traditional
glass ionomer was the result of slow acid-base reactions.
Hence to overcome these two inherent drawbacks, some
polymerizable resin functional groups have been added to
GIC to impart additional curing process and allow the bulk
of the material to mature through the acid-base reaction.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
DEFINITION:

“Resin –modified glass ionomer materials that are
modified by the inclusion of resin, generally to make them
more photocurable”

www.indiandentalacademy.com
POWDER:

The powder component of a typical light- cured material
consists of ion leachable glass and initiators for light or
chemical curing or both

www.indiandentalacademy.com
LIQUID:
The liquid component usually contains water, polyacrylic
acid with or without some carboxylic acid modified with
methacrylate and Hydroxyethyl methacrylate monomers.

POWDER : LIQUID RATIO = 3:1.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
ADVANTAGES


Can be finished and polished immediately after set



Repairs can be carried out, as bond between old and

new material is very strong.


Exhibits increased adhesion to composite when used a

base

www.indiandentalacademy.com


Ideal under composite as it can be etched immediately



Fluoride release is greater than conventional GIC and

compomers


High diametral strength of 20MPa

www.indiandentalacademy.com
DISADVANTAGES:
-

Biocompatibility is controversial
Setting shrinkage is higher (-1%) and hence,

microleakage is more and marginal adaptation is poor
-

Lower wear resistance as compared to composite.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
USES:
•

Used as a liner and base

•

Pit and fissure sealant

•

Core build-up material

www.indiandentalacademy.com
POLYACID – MODIFIED COMPOSITE RESINS
“COMPOMERS”
A new variety of

the usual composite resins comprising

resins and inorganic filler particles is the polyacid-modified
composite resin or “compomer” which was introduced in the
early 1900s.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
The compomer - combination of “comp” form composite
and “omer” from glass ionomer was introduced as a type of
glass ionomer, with claims that it offered some fluoride
release as well as improved physical properties and clinical
characteristics.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
DEFINITION:
Compomer can be defined as a resin composite with fluoride
releasing Potential.
Polyacid – modified glass ionomer cement is defined as
materials that may contain either or both of the essential
components of glass ionomer cements but at levels insufficient
to promote the acid- base curing reaction in the dark.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
COMPOSITION:
The compomers presently available contain resins and fillers
common to composite resins and glass ionomers. They
include reactive ion-glass particle and polymerizable acidic
monomers. They are usually one Component material.

1. FLUORIDE CHARGED MATERIALS
This is a modified glass ionomer and is a two part material

Restorative part

Charged part

www.indiandentalacademy.com
2.

LOW pH ‘SMART’ MATERIALS
This materials is based on the fact that fluoride should
be released at a low pH i.e. when caries attack may be

most threatening.
Hence, they are called ‘smart’ materials. The fluoride
release is episodic and not continuous. This prolongs the
therapeutic usefulness of the material and optimises the
fluoride release. www.indiandentalacademy.com
BIOACTIVE GLASS
The idea of bioactive glasses was developed by Hench
and co. in 1973.

This is an excellent material for use in maxillofacial and
craniofacial

surgeries

as

it

performs

hydroxyapatite.



Cementation of custom made implants into place



Correction of intra-bony pockets in periodontology



May help in the formulation of bioglass ceramics-

with superior strength for fabricating crowns.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
FIBRE- REINFORCED GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS:

Newer developments in resin-modified glass ionomer
cements has lead to the incorporation of alumina fibres into
the glass powder to improve upon its flexure strength. This
technology is called polymeric Rigid Inorganic Matrix
Materials or PRIMM
www.indiandentalacademy.com
GIOMERS:

SHOFU used the hybridization of glass ionomer and
composite rein to develop a new family of fluoride
releasing direct aesthetic restoratives and adhesion called
GIOMER characterised by pre-Reacted Glass ionomer
(PRG)

  • 3. • NEW FLUORIDE RELEASING GLASS IONOMERS: - LOW Ph “SMART” MATERIALS - FLUORIDE CHARGE MATERIALS • BIOACTIVE GLASS • FIBRE – REINFORCED GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS • GIOMERS www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 4. IMPROVED TRADITIONAL GLASS IONOMERS HIGHLY VISCOUS GLASS IONOMER Due to the possibility of reduced secondary caries by fluoride release and to the comparative ease of use of conventional glass ionomers, further developments have been made for posterior restorations in primary and permanent dentition. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 5. This material was developed largely as a response to the need for filling materials in the atraumatic Restorative Therapy or “ART”. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 6. ART refers to the restorations of teeth under conditions of minimal instrumentation currently in use in third world nations where full dental care is not always available. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 7. ADVANTAGES OF PACKABLE GIC OVER CONVENTIONAL GIC ARE:  They are packable and condensable  They are easy to place  They are non-sticky  Early moisture sensitivity is reduced www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 8.  Rapid finishing can be carried out  Improved wear resistance.  Low solubility in oral fluids. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 9. DISADVANTAGES OF THESE GIC’S ARE:  Due to their opacity, they have esthetic disadvantages  They have limited life potential.  Moderately polishable www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 10. LOW VISCOCITY GLASS IONOMERS This type of glass ionomer has been developed as liners, fissure protecting materials for hypersensitive cervical areas and endodontic materials. Such materials are designed with low powder-liquid ratios and highly flowable. These are used as fissure protection materials during the eruption Period of the teeth. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 11. METAL – MODIFIED GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS Glass ionomer cements lack toughness and hence, cannot withstand high-stress concentrations. GIC have been modified by the inclusion of metal filler particles in an attempt to improve toughness Two methods of modifications have been employed. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 12. SILVER ALLOY ADMIX or MIRACLE MIX Sced and wilson (1980) found that amalgam alloys could be incorporated into glass ionomer cements and that these served to increase the flexure strength. Spherical silver amalgam alloy powder is mixed with Type II glass ionomer powder in the ratio 7:1. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 13. CERMET – IONOMER CEMENTS: In an attempt to improve the abrasion resistance and strength of GIC, McLean and Gasser(1985) developed the “cermet”ionomer. These cements, unlike simple mixtures of alloy particles or metal fibres, contain glass-metal powders sintered to high density that can be made to react with polyacids to form a cement. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 14. INDICATIONS:  As an alternative to amalgam in conservative Class I cavities in primary teeth.  Core build –up material  Lining of class II amalgam restorations.  Root caps for teeth under overdentures  Preventive restorations and temporary posterior restorations. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 15. CONTRAINDICATIONS: Anterior restorations. Areas subjected to high occlusal loading. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 16. RESIN – MODIFIED GLASS IONOMER CEMENT: Low early strength and moisture sensitivity of the traditional glass ionomer was the result of slow acid-base reactions. Hence to overcome these two inherent drawbacks, some polymerizable resin functional groups have been added to GIC to impart additional curing process and allow the bulk of the material to mature through the acid-base reaction. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 17. DEFINITION: “Resin –modified glass ionomer materials that are modified by the inclusion of resin, generally to make them more photocurable” www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 18. POWDER: The powder component of a typical light- cured material consists of ion leachable glass and initiators for light or chemical curing or both www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 19. LIQUID: The liquid component usually contains water, polyacrylic acid with or without some carboxylic acid modified with methacrylate and Hydroxyethyl methacrylate monomers. POWDER : LIQUID RATIO = 3:1. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 20. ADVANTAGES  Can be finished and polished immediately after set  Repairs can be carried out, as bond between old and new material is very strong.  Exhibits increased adhesion to composite when used a base www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 21.  Ideal under composite as it can be etched immediately  Fluoride release is greater than conventional GIC and compomers  High diametral strength of 20MPa www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 22. DISADVANTAGES: - Biocompatibility is controversial Setting shrinkage is higher (-1%) and hence, microleakage is more and marginal adaptation is poor - Lower wear resistance as compared to composite. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 23. USES: • Used as a liner and base • Pit and fissure sealant • Core build-up material www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 24. POLYACID – MODIFIED COMPOSITE RESINS “COMPOMERS” A new variety of the usual composite resins comprising resins and inorganic filler particles is the polyacid-modified composite resin or “compomer” which was introduced in the early 1900s. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 25. The compomer - combination of “comp” form composite and “omer” from glass ionomer was introduced as a type of glass ionomer, with claims that it offered some fluoride release as well as improved physical properties and clinical characteristics. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 26. DEFINITION: Compomer can be defined as a resin composite with fluoride releasing Potential. Polyacid – modified glass ionomer cement is defined as materials that may contain either or both of the essential components of glass ionomer cements but at levels insufficient to promote the acid- base curing reaction in the dark. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 27. COMPOSITION: The compomers presently available contain resins and fillers common to composite resins and glass ionomers. They include reactive ion-glass particle and polymerizable acidic monomers. They are usually one Component material. www.indiandentalacademy.com

  • 36. SELF HARDENING RESIN GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS This is another recent development in resin – modified glass ionomer Luting cements. These contain certain monomers with initiators to allow self polymerization similar to those used in cold-cure acrylics It mainly contains benzoyl peroxide and amine added to the glass Ionomer. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 37. Its advantages are: • Easy to handle • No significant post- cementation sensitivity • Significant fluoride release • High compressive and fracture strength • No light activation required www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 38. 1. FLUORIDE CHARGED MATERIALS This is a modified glass ionomer and is a two part material Restorative part Charged part www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 39. 2. LOW pH ‘SMART’ MATERIALS This materials is based on the fact that fluoride should be released at a low pH i.e. when caries attack may be most threatening. Hence, they are called ‘smart’ materials. The fluoride release is episodic and not continuous. This prolongs the therapeutic usefulness of the material and optimises the fluoride release. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 40. BIOACTIVE GLASS The idea of bioactive glasses was developed by Hench and co. in 1973. This is an excellent material for use in maxillofacial and craniofacial surgeries as it performs hydroxyapatite. www.indiandentalacademy.com better than
  • 41. USES  Augmentation of alveolar ridges in edentulous arches  Cementation of custom made implants into place  Correction of intra-bony pockets in periodontology  May help in the formulation of bioglass ceramics- with superior strength for fabricating crowns. www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 42. FIBRE- REINFORCED GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS: Newer developments in resin-modified glass ionomer cements has lead to the incorporation of alumina fibres into the glass powder to improve upon its flexure strength. This technology is called polymeric Rigid Inorganic Matrix Materials or PRIMM www.indiandentalacademy.com
  • 43. GIOMERS: SHOFU used the hybridization of glass ionomer and composite rein to develop a new family of fluoride releasing direct aesthetic restoratives and adhesion called GIOMER characterised by pre-Reacted Glass ionomer (PRG) www.indiandentalacademy.com
