Decomposition of glass
• The glass particles are attacked at the surface by poly acid which
leads to withdrawal of the cations
• thus the glass network breaks down to silicic acid.
Migration of ions
•Principally Al3+, Ca2+, F- ions are released
and migrate into aqueous phase and form
Complexes ( Glossy appearance )
•Initially calcium complexes predominate
but later Aluminium complexes are more.
• pH and viscosity increases
Gelation
•At critical pH and ionic concentration , insoluble poly acrylates
polyacrylate
Maturation
• Increased cross linking gives better physical properties
• Increase in translucency
•Cement becomes resistant to acid attack & dessication
•Increase in translucency
Water present in set cement can be classified into two forms:
• Type I – Luting
• Type II – Restorative
• Type III – Liner/base
• Type IV – Pit & fissure sealant
• Type V – Luting for orthodontic purpose
• Type – Core buildup material
VI – High fluoride releasing command set
• Type – Atraumatic restorative treatment
VII − Pediatric Glass Ionomer cements
• Type VIII
• Type
IX
F. Newer Classification
• Traditional glass ionomer
a. Type I --- Luting cement
b. Type II --- Restorative cements
c. Type III --- Liners&Bases
