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
