How long does Glass Ionomer Cement last?

The longevity of Glass Ionomer Cement depends on the condition of the patient's teeth and the amount of wear and tear they are exposed to. Generally, Glass Ionomer Cement has a lifespan of up to 5 years.

Is Glass Ionomer Cement safe?

Yes, Glass Ionomer Cement is a safe material that is widely used in dentistry.

What are the advantages of Glass Ionomer Cement?

Glass Ionomer Cement has several advantages, including being biocompatible, releasing fluoride, and being easy to use. It is also a cost-effective material and bonds with tooth enamel.

How is Glass Ionomer Cement applied?

Glass Ionomer Cement is applied to the tooth with a special gun, which dispenses the material in a controlled manner. It is then set with a curing light or a special chemical activator.

Glass Ionomer Cement

Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) is a versatile dental material composed of polyacrylic acid and fluoroaluminosilicate glass. It is widely used for restorations, luting, and orthodontic bonding due to its chemical adhesion to tooth structure and sustained fluoride release.

HUGE GIC materials are engineered with strontium-containing glass fillers, enhancing both radiopacity and anticaries performance. The synergistic effect of strontium and fluoride supports long-term tooth protection and remineralization.

Designed for everyday clinical efficiency, HUGE GIC requires no complex techniques or additional equipment, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of indications.

What to Consider When Selecting GIC Glass Ionomer Cement？

Excellent operating performance

Easy mixing and the mixed material is smooth and delicate, with excellent mobility. It is easier to clean than resin-based materials.
Sustained Fluoride Release

Sustained release of fluoride ions can can prevent the occurrence of secondary caries.
Ideal Biocompatibility

It is similar to tooth tissue and has good biocompatibility. There is basically no postoperative sensitivity.
X-ray radiation resistance

GIC and tooth radiopaque to aid in inspection of restorations. It can also be seen whether there is secondary caries in the follow-up visit.
