Glass ionomer ceramic

The results of Figure 8.18 show that most commercially available dental restorative materials have wear rates that are lower (better) than human enamel. All of the materials listed in Table 8.15 have nominal colors equivalent to that of human teeth and are of acceptable biocompatibility. In particular, glass ionomer ceramics have become increasingly popular due to their favorable adhesion to dental tissues, fluoride release, and biocompatibility.

Dental Ceramics, dental porcelain (q.v.) has been supplemented by other BIOCERAMICS, in particular apatites and alumina, for general maxillofacial restorative work, using crowns and implants. Metallising, metal-ceramic bonding and colour matching are important in dental ceramic work. BS 3365 specifies dental silicate and silico-phosphate cements BS 6039 glass-ionomer cements.
