[Experimental study of the effect of a photopolymerizable glass ionomer cavity liner on pulp pressure and temperature].

The biocompatibility of a light curing glass ionomer cement was studied for its pulpal effect when used as a capping agent in a dentin cavity. Pulpal pressure and temperature were recorded in 14 dog canines after placement of the glass ionomer cement. No increase was observed in 12 specimens on 14 samples.
