Pulpal Responses to Resin-modefied Glass lonomer Cements

Comparison with Conventional Glass lonomer Cement and Adhesive Resin

Abstract

The aim of this paper was to compare pulpal irritation of resin-modified glass ionomer cements with those of an adhesive composite resin and conventional glass ionomer cements based on previous reports performed independently in our department. The results of these three studies reported pulpal responses to lining cement, Liner Bond System, conventional and resin modified glass ionomer cements were compared. The comparison revealed that pulpal response to resin modified glass ionomer cements was much less than to Liner Bond System, and was comparable to conventional glass iono-mer cements.
