Glass-ionomer materials

Glass-ionomer cements were developed in the early 1970s. These materials comprised a fluoro-alumino-silicate (FAS) glass mixed with a polyacrylic acid.

How long does Fuji filling last?

[8] reported a survival rate of 98 % after 2 years for conventional GIC (Fuji IX GP® fast) fillings in class I and class II cavities. They found that the main reason for replacement was fracture of the fillings. In a systemic review on the longevity of fillings in posterior teeth, Hickel et al.

What is the difference between Fuji 2 and Fuji 9?
