Potensi semen ionomer kaca sebagai material bioaktif (The potency of glass ionomer cement as a bioactive material)

Background: Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) is restorative material proved has biocompatible property. GIC clinically haschanged in composition and in indication. In the beginning GIC is used for restorative material only, later the indication isdevelop i.e Pulp capping material, to close perforated area and to close apical as retrograde filling. Purpose : Development if theindication basically based on SIO component contain in Glass partikel and capability releasing ionic as requirement in bioactivematerial. Reviews: Bioactive material has several classification, material class A has 11 step of recovery, and end of the result iscomplete tissue healing as same asa original tissue. Several bioactivity GIC has been done, according Noermohammadi J et al inhis research using resin modified and soaked in stimulate body fluid (SBF) and the result and result this material has bioactive.Conclusion: Controverseies still exist in the outcomes among literatures reviewed due to different method and type of GIC .Keywords: glass ionomer cement, bioactive materials
