Compressive Strength of Glass Ionomers With Different Polymerization Mechanisms: A Comparative In Vitro Analysis
Glass ionomer cements can be classified into three performance categories: high (Riva Light Cure SDI), intermediate (GC products), and basic (Maxxion R FGM), providing a framework for clinical selection based on specific requirements. The statistical equivalence between GC products with different polymerization mechanisms offers valuable flexibility for diverse clinical situations in pediatric dentistry.
