GIC Restoration

GIC Restoration

GIC restorations are tooth colour fillings. Used in infants and children. Cariostatic activity in tooth colored restorations has been a desirable characteristic in the entire history of modern dentistry. The glass ionomer cements (GICs) are one of the products developed in this direction and are widely used in Pediatric operative dentistry because of their ability to adhere to/bond with enamel and dentin without any pre-treatment and potential to release fluoride ions over a prolonged period of time.
