Abstract

Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are mainly used as direct restorative dental materials. GICs are a group of restorative materials which contain aluminofluorosilicate glasses as the vital component and have beneficial properties such as chemical bonding with dental hard tissue and fluoride release in the oral cavity. In addition to dental applications, research is being conducted to make GICs suitable for bone applications. Their bioactive and adhesive properties are an advantage, which may prove to be useful in bone regeneration and implant applications. However, there are several limitations which may impede the use of GICs. In this chapter, we have discussed various modifications that have been made to GICs to improve their biological and mechanical properties.
