What is "glass ionomer cement"?
Glass ionomer cement is a type of dental material used for filling cavities and making other repairs. It is made from a mixture of glass and a type of acid, and it sticks to the tooth structure while also releasing fluoride, which is a mineral that helps protect against further damage. Glass ionomer cement is often used in areas where strong attachment and fluoride release are beneficial.
