Study Notes
Setting Reaction in Auto-Cure Glass Ionomer Cement
- The setting reaction involves the release of active ions
- This release is a stage of the setting reaction
Components of Glass Ionomer Cement
- Polyacrylic acid attacks the glass particles to release active ions
Purpose of Dentin Conditioning
- Mild dentin conditioning is used in conventional glass ionomer systems to:
- Remove the smear layer and open up dentin tubules
- Allow for better bonding between the glass ionomer cement and tooth structure
Dentin Conditioner
- A mild acid is used as the dentin conditioner
- The dentin conditioner is used to:
- Remove the smear layer and open up dentin tubules
- Allow for better bonding between the glass ionomer cement and tooth structure
- Typically, polyacrylic acid is used as the mild dentin conditioner
Phases of the Setting Reaction
- The phase involving the release of active ions is characterized by:
- No change in appearance
- The phase characterized by a glossy appearance and the ability to adhere to the tooth structure is:
- The final setting phase
