A multitude of technology

Glenn,
Why did you choose glass ionomer as the cement rather than something like Cement it or Variolink light cured. How much opaque did the lab use? I like the results, I just have never used glass ionomer as a cement on anything. I do use RMGI on all gold and PFG’s.
Thank you.

Hi Alan: if I have lots of tooth structure and the preps are not in enamel ( these were in cementum and dentin) in many areas , I will choose GI.

IT is easier to cement these with GI I must admit and I do like the fluoride. In addition I wasnt worried about them coming loose.

GOod point though and I dont have any qualms about using Variolink, just didnt do it.

I know some guys bond everything in. I rarely bond the Empress 2 or Procera crowns (heck can you even bond Procera into place??)

Great question and I think there will be a variety of answers.

You got me thinking.
