On the other hand, those materials have poor physic-mechanical properties in comparison with the restorative resin composite. The main aim of this work was to evaluate the influence of zirconia and/or alumina fillers on the microstructure and strength of a resin modified glass-ionomer cement after thermal cycling %K Alumina %K glass-ionomer cement %K strength %K thermal cycling %K zirconia %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4797684/
