Glass Ionomer

A particularly strong filled cement.  Quite impervious to water and oral fluids.   Unlike most                      other cements, has true chemical adhesion to teeth and dental restorations.  Releases fluoride to                      protect teeth.  Used to cement crowns and bridges; also for fillings in non-stress bearing areas.
