2020年3月1日 · The GIC dental and vision plans cover state employees who are not covered by collective bargaining or do not have another dental or vision plan through the Commonwealth. The plans primarily cover managers, legislators, legislative staff, and certain Executive Office staff.

A glass ionomer cement (GIC) is a dental restorative material used in dentistry as a filling material and luting cement, [1] including for orthodontic bracket attachment. [2] Glass-ionomer cements are based on the reaction of silicate glass-powder (calciumaluminofluorosilicate glass [3]) and polyacrylic acid, an ionomer.

2024年3月4日 · GIC is used for the cementation of fixed dental prosthesis (FDPs), orthodontic bands, and brackets, to restore carious and noncarious lesions, and as liners or bases, core build-up material, pit and fissure sealant, and for atraumatic restorative techniques (ART).

Glass ionomer cements (GIC) will adhere to caries affected dentin, minimizing the amount of tooth removal required to restore the tooth.

GIC is a combination of silicate and polycarboxylate that releases fluoride and attaches to dental tissue. It is used in a variety of applications, including the filling material of dental cervical lesions; the restoration of children’s teeth; the core construction of …

Glass ionomer cements (GICs) are clinically attractive dental materials that have certain unique properties that make them useful as restorative and luting materials. This includes adhesion to moist tooth structures and base metals, anticariogenic ...

2023年7月28日 · Made by incorporating glass particles of GIC in water-free polyacid liquid monomer with appropriate initiator. It was made to integrate fluoride-releasing capability of glass ionomers with the durability of resin composites .

2016年10月29日 · Glass-ionomer cement (GIC) is an important tool in the fight against caries. It can be thought of as a reservoir of fluoride and other ions in the oral cavity, a mechanical barrier that protects the tooth surface against bacteria; most importantly, it can provide a long-lasting seal under the most challenging clinical circumstances.

Glass-ionomer (GI) material was introduced by Wilson and Kent in 1972 as a “new translucent dental filling material” recommended for the restoration of cervical lesions. It consists of a powdered fluoroaluminosilicate glass and a polyalkenoic acid.

2018年7月10日 · Glass ionomer cements (GICs) can have a range of compositions, but the chief constituents are alumina, silica, and calcium. A source of fluoride, such as fluorite, is also...
