Glass ionomer dental cement is a professional-use material used in dental procedures to bond fillings, seal tooth surfaces, or restore minor cavities. It sets through a chemical reaction between glass powder and an acidic liquid, forming a durable yet biocompatible material that can also release fluoride to help protect teeth.
These cements are typically supplied as non-sterile kits for in-office use and are not designed for reuse after application. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their primary function—whether as a restorative, luting agent, or protective liner—rather than a fixed regulatory class.
