β¦ Synopsis
As part of a detailed investigation of the setting mechanisms of dental polyelectrolyte cements, the M3+, Ca2+, and Na+ concentrations in the matrix phase of glass ionomer cements were measured as a function of the cements age by use of a selective degradation technique. In the early stages of cement formation, all three cations were rapidly released from the glass, and it is inferred that both Ca2+ and A13+ are responsible for gelation. Even after 5 X lo4 min, the reaction was incomplete and still continuing.

Water-absorption affects the basic properties of resin-modified glass-ionomer cements (RMGICs). Fick's law is usually invoked to explain the absorption process. The purpose of this study is to show that the absorption in accordance with the Fickian model cannot be extended to the whole of the specim
## Abstract This study investigated the effects of various environmental conditions on the hardness and elastic modulus of restorative glassβionomer cements (GICs). Two resinβmodified GICs (RMGICs) (Fuji II LC [FL]; PhotacβFil Quick [PQ]) and three highly viscous GICs (HVGICs) (Fuji IX Fast [FN]; K
