Abstract
⺠We developed partially degradable, bioactive, Al-free glass-ionomer cements (GICs). ⺠Enhanced mechanical behavior was achieved using 63-125 μm glass particle size range. ⺠The highest mechanical resistance was obtained using poly(acrylic acid) of 50 kDa. ⺠Biodegradation was successfully tuned to start 8 weeks after GIC preparation. ⺠Zn release should be tuned to the non-cytotoxic levels.
