In 1972, a restorative material with unique and clinically useful features was created when researchers at the Laboratory of the Government in London, England, developed glass ionomer cement (GIC).1–4 This material was biocompatible and could develop stable, long-lasting chemical bonds to dentin. In addition, it did not require bonding agents and was not dependent on collagen and therefore not influenced by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs).2,3,5–8 It exhibited resistance to caries through the uptake and release of fluoride, as well as its antibacterial properties.2,6,7,9–11 Clinical considerations for restoration techniques using GIC were described by McLean and Wilson in 1977.12

In 1988, a hybrid restorative material designated resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI) was developed by adding a small amount of resin to GIC.13 The resin allows for rapid setting induced by light curin...
