Glass ionomer cement adhesion mechanism with enamel or dentine
- Molecular classification
- Other (synthetic material interface)
01
Overview
Glass ionomer cement adhesion to enamel and dentine is a chemical and mechanical process wherein the carboxyl groups in polyacrylic acid interact with calcium ions in the hydroxyapatite component of tooth tissues, resulting in strong chelation bonds and ionic exchange. Mechanical interlocking occurs as the cement penetrates surface irregularities and dentinal tubules, further stabilizing the interface. Light-cured versions have higher bond strength due to improved interface chemistry and deeper penetration. This mechanism is unique to dental restorative materials and is not a molecular receptor or biological drug target.
