Study Notes
Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC)
- Developed in 1965 by Dr. Alan Wilson and Dr. Brian Kent at the British Laboratory of the Government Chemist
- First synthesized in 1969 by Wilson and Kent
- First GIC product, ASPA (Alumino-Silicate-Poly-Acrylate), was introduced in 1971
- GIC gained popularity in 1972 due to its adhesion to enamel and dentin and fluoride release for anticariogenic effect
History and Development
- 1975: Dr. John McLean developed clinical techniques and demonstrated the material's resistance to caries
- 1983: To improve the abrasive resistance, GIC was modified by adding silver to develop Miracle Mix or Silver Cermet by Simmons
Setting Reaction
- Acid attack: calcium ions (Ca++) are released, and alumino-silicate particles are attacked by H+ ions
- Gelation: calcium ions react with polyacrylic acid to form a gel
- Maturation: the gel transforms into a solid matrix
Properties
- Acid-base reaction
- Adhesion to enamel and dentin
- Fluoride release for anticariogenic effect
- Resistance to caries
