Evolución de cementos ionómeros de vidrio en odontopediatría. Revisión Sistemática.

Abstract

Introduction: Glass ionomer cement or glass polyalkenolate has evolved over the years. Wilson and Kent invented a new material for dental use, that material focused on the reaction of aluminosilicate with polyacrylic acid, once these materials were mixed they obtained a product originally called ASPA (Aluminum, Silicate and Polyacrylate), which was the first glass ionomer cement. The glass ionomer cement had changes in the chemical composition resulting in better results in physical, chemical and mechanical properties. Objectives: To analyze the evolution of glass ionomer cements in pediatric dentistry Materials and methods: This study was based on documentary sources from which the information for the following study was obtained through search engines such as Pubmed and Cochrane. As for the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 31 scientific articles remained, which allowed us to study the following variables: flexural strength, compressive strength, chemical composition and mode of preparation Results: resin-modified glass ionomer cements have higher flexural and compressive strength since 1993. Fluoride release is higher in resin-modified cements, fluoride release is higher in the first 24 hours, then decreases and remains constant. The mode of preparation was modified for the benefit of the dentist and patient. Conclusion: The glass ionomer cements were modified to improve the chemical, physical and mechanical properties for the benefit of the dentist and patient.
