   Bonding agents can be applied to dentine before cementation of inlays and onlays. [44] This is something that is very useful as dentine contains a lot of mineral, which makes binding more problematic. [44] A bonding agent that is applied straight after the preparation has been finished will give rise to greater dentine bond strengths. [44]

7. Glass ionomer cement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_ionomer_cement

   Cermets, which are essentially metal reinforced, glass ionomer cements, used to aid in restoring tooth loss as a result of decay or cavities to the tooth surfaces near the gingival margin, or the tooth roots, though cermets can be incorporated at other sites on various teeth, depending on the function required. They maintain adhesion to enamel ...
