Glass ionomer cements of different types of mixing: issues of ergonomics
Glass-ionomer cements are widely used as permanent filling materials. However, dentists are faced with several challenges when working with them, associated primarily with poor manipulative properties of glass-ionomer cements. We compared the ergonomics and cost of glass-ionomer cements of different types of mixing. Results of the research showed that cements of automatic mixing are easier and more convenient to use. High quality of these materials, as well as speed and ease of use allow to recommend them for widespread use in the treatment of teeth in children.
