    The document classifies glass ionomer cement into 9 types based on application and also classifies it into generations. It discusses the development of first and second generation glass ionomer cement and mentions reinforced cement was developed to increase tensile strength for high stress situations.

    Classification of

    GIC
    GIC is classified based on application as
    :follows
    Type I - Luting cement used for cementation of crowns and bridges •
    Type II - Restorative cement used for aesthetic fillings •
    Type III – GIC used as liners and bases •
    Type IV – GIC used as pit and fissure sealants •
    Type V – GIC used for orthodontic cementation •
    Type VI – GIC is used for core build-up in highly mutilated teeth •
    Type VII – Fluoride releasing light-cured GIC •
    Type VIII – GIC for atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) •
    Type IX – GIC used for Pediatric and geriatric restorations •
    :The other classification of GIC is as follows
    First Generation •
    This material was developed because silicate cement was showing •
    poor clinical performance. To overcome this problem, the alumina to
    silica ratio was increased. The first developed glass ionomer, known
    as ASPA I (aluminosilicate polyacrylic acid), had a sluggish setting,
    sensitive to moisture while sitting, and poor esthetics resulting in
    limited clinical utility. Wilson and Crisp added d-tartaric acid to the
    liquid, allowing the use of glasses containing lesser fluoride, which
    are more translucent. ASPA I was then named ASPA II and accounted
    for the first glass ionomer cement used for clinical applications
    Second Generation •
    In this type of cement, the polyacid was already added to the powder, •
    and the setting is achieved by mixing the powder with water or a
    tartaric acid solution. This GIC is known as water-hardening cement.
    The main advantages of the second generation system are enhanced
    .shelf life, decreased initial viscosity, and improved strength
    Reinforced Cement •
    The conventional GICs are suitable for restoring low stress-bearing •
    areas like Class V and Class III cavities and sealing pits and
    fissures. However, they are not indicated in high stress-bearing
    situations such as Class II cavities because of their low tensile strength
    (7 to 12 MPa). To widen its range of applications
