## Abstract This study investigated the effects of various environmental conditions on the hardness and elastic modulus of restorative glass‐ionomer cements (GICs). Two resin‐modified GICs (RMGICs) (Fuji II LC [FL]; Photac‐Fil Quick [PQ]) and three highly viscous GICs (HVGICs) (Fuji IX Fast [FN]; K

Although glass-ionomer cements are generally agreed to show very good adhesion to a variety of substrates encountered in clinical dentistry, laboratory testing of this property has not proved to be straightforward. In the current paper we review the published literature describing the testing of gla
The literature on the clinical use of glass-ionomer cements is reviewed, and this shows that these materials are successful partly because of the good adhesion they exhibit towards a variety of substrates encountered in dentistry. The reasons for this good adhesion are identified as the good initial
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 cemen
