Credits: 1 CEU	Reviewed: 2025 Expiration Date: 11/29/28
AGD Subject Code: 250

Frequently, glass ionomer is the forgotten direct restorative material. Overshadowed by controversy with amalgam and technique instruction with resin composite, glass ionomer has quietly been a tremendous tool for dental clinicians.

During this CE webinar, we will:
• Discuss the best applications for glass ionomer in a restorative practice
• Review the advantages of using glass ionomer as a direct restorative material
• Instruct on technique and directions for use of some popular glass ionomer restoratives ( disclaimer, bio and commercial disclosure )
