Advances in Glass-Ionomer Cements
Editorial Reviews
Book News, Inc.
Fourteen contributions report on recent progress in the
formulation and understanding of glass-ionomer cements and the efficacy of the
newer polyacid-modified resin materials in dental restoration. Several chapters
cover the adhesion and fluoride release of these cements, including an
assessment of how the cements attach to tooth structure and whether fluoride
plays a role in the prevention of secondary caries around the restorations.
Other topics are the use of glass-ionomers as bondings, linings, or bases;
glass-ionomer luting cements; and the application of glass-ionomer cements in
endodontics, pediatric dentistry, and class III and class V restorations. --

Univ. of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Progress in the
formulation and understanding of glass-ionomer cements and the efficacy of
polyacid-modified resin materials. For clinical and laboratory researchers.
Color and halftone illustrations. DNLM: Glass Ionomer Cements.
Written by an international group of experts, this
comprehensive book provides an up-to-date, complete review of all types of
glass-ionomer cements--from their uses, limitations, and advantages and
disadvantages, to any problems associated with their use in modern dental
practice. Detailed here are the physical, chemical, biological, and clinical
properties, with particular emphasis on clinical use in restorative and
pediatric dentistry as well as in orthodontics, prosthodontics, and endodontics.
Questions about the efficacy of the newer resin- and polyacid-modified materials
also are addressed.
