Conventional glass-ionomer materials: A review of the developments in glass powder, polyacid liquid and the strategies of reinforcement

摘要

Objectives: The development of glass-ionomers (GIs) from the earliest experimental GI formulations to the modern day commercially available GIs was reviewed. The aim of the review was to identify the developments in the glass powder and polyacid liquid constituents of GIs since their inception in the late 1960s.
