Glass-ionomer cements belong to the class of materials known as acid-base cements. They are based on the product of reaction of weak polymeric acids with powdered glasses of basic character. Which acts as filler to reinforce the set cement. But is not strictly correct. However, alternative formulations exist which range from both the acid. The glass being present in the powder. Which some of the acid is blended with the glass powder. The rest is present in a dilute solution in water. This solution is used as the liquid component in forming the paste for setting. The effect of these differences is not clear.
