For a decade of my career, I ignored glass ionomer materials in my practice. I thought they were unwieldy and unesthetic. That was a mistake for me and my patients. Recent developments and improvements in glass ionomers have made these materials must-haves for any restorative dental practice. This course will discuss the new materials and their best applications and give participants an opportunity to use them.
