Market Overview

Glass ionomer cement is a restorative dental material that is utilized in orthodontic bracket attachment as well as filling and luting applications. The basis of glass-ionomer cements is the reaction between an ionomer, polyacrylic acid, and silicate glass powder, or calcium aluminum fluorosilicate glass. GICs are beneficial for dental applications due to their biocompatibility, minimal tooth preparation requirements, anti-cariogenic effect, and color. The original purpose of glass ionomer cements is to restore anterior teeth cosmetically. The main purpose of glass ionomer cement is to stop tooth cavities. GIC allows for fluoride, which can help demineralized teeth remineralize, and has a thin film thickness and excellent moisture tolerance. It is believed that this cement's distinctive qualities will drive market demand. Increasingly common dental problems and advances in technology and materials are some of the factors anticipated to drive the growth in the dental glass ionomer cement (GIC) market. The primary driver of market growth is the increasing incidence of dental caries.
