Preparation: Gather all necessary materials: glass ionomer powder, liquid, polymer paper mixing pad, Agate spatula, calcium hydroxide liner, and finishing tools.
Mixing the Cement: Ratio: Measure the powder and liquid in a 3:1 ratio.
Mixing Time: Begin mixing immediately after measuring. Ensure to mix the components within 45 seconds for optimal consistency.
Mixing Surface: Use the polymer paper mixing pad to combine the powder and liquid. This pad helps in achieving a uniform mixture.
Spatula Technique: Utilize the Agate spatula to mix over a large area, ensuring thorough blending of the materials to avoid lumps.
Cavity Isolation: Isolate the cavity using appropriate dental materials (e.g., rubber dam or cotton rolls) to prevent contamination from saliva or moisture.
Application of Calcium Hydroxide Liner: Apply a thin layer of calcium hydroxide liner to the cavity. This acts as a protective barrier and promotes pulp health.
Conditioning the Cavity Wall: Condition the cavity walls properly as per the product instructions to enhance the bond between the GIC and the tooth structure.
Bulk Insertion of GIC: After conditioning, proceed with the bulk insertion of the glass ionomer cement into the cavity, ensuring it fills the space adequately.
Finishing and Polishing: Once the GIC is set, complete the procedure by performing finishing and polishing to achieve a smooth and aesthetically pleasing surface.
