As a dentist, you know that dental restorations need to be strong, durable, and long-lasting. But have you considered using glass ionomers to achieve these goals? Glass ionomers are a type of dental restorative that have been used in dentistry for decades, they are known for their ability to bond to both enamel and dentin, making them an effective material for use in a variety of dental procedures.
Glass ionomers are a great choice for filling cavities, cementing crowns and bridges, and sealing teeth. But why would you choose glass ionomer over resin composite or amalgam solutions?
1. Adhesion: Glass ionomers bond chemically to the tooth structure, which can result in a stronger, more durable restoration than amalgam fillings. They also bond well to dentine, which can help reduce the risk of recurrent decay and improve the overall longevity of the restoration.
2. Fluoride release: Glass ionomers release fluoride ions, which can help prevent further decay and strengthen the tooth structure.
3. Biocompatibility: Glass ionomers are biocompatible, meaning that they are well-tolerated by the body and do not cause allergic reactions.
4. Natural appearance: Glass ionomers have a more natural appearance than amalgam fillings, as they can be matched to the colour of the surrounding tooth structure. This is key for restorations in visible areas of the mouth.
5. Lower thermal expansion: Glass ionomers have a lower thermal expansion than amalgam fillings, which can reduce the risk of fracture and damage to the tooth structure.
