Abstract

Modern pediatric dentistry aims to preserve dental tissues, prevent complications, and ensure comfortable treatment for children. Among restorative materials, glass ionomer cements (GICs) occupy an important place due to their biological compatibility, fluoride release, chemical adhesion to tooth tissues, and ease of application. In recent years, significant progress has been achieved in the development of modern glass ionomer materials, including resin-modified glass ionomer cements and high-viscosity glass ionomers. These materials demonstrate improved mechanical strength, aesthetics, and clinical durability. The purpose of this article is to analyze the characteristics, advantages, disadvantages, and clinical applications of modern glass ionomer cements in pediatric dentistry. The article also discusses their role in preventive and minimally invasive dentistry. Modern GICs are widely used for restorations of primary teeth, atraumatic restorative treatment, fissure sealing, cavity lining, and orthodontic procedures. Their fluoride-releasing ability contributes to secondary caries prevention, which is especially important in children with high caries activity. Despite some limitations related to wear resistance and esthetics compared with composite materials, modern glass ionomer cements remain indispensable materials in pediatric dental practice.
