Abstract
The use of glass ionomer cement (GIC) restorative materials assists in the prevention of dental
caries due to its long-term fluoride release. However, poor physical strength is one of the main
drawbacks of GIC. A surface coating is recommended to improve the physical strength and is
considered necessary during the overlapping stages of setting reactions of GIC restorative
materials. The development of resin based coatings has improved the properties of the material but
the effect on fluoride release needs investigation.
