An amino acid-modified and non-HEMA containing glass-ionomer cement
TL;DR: It appears that this novel non-HEMA-containing RMGIC system based on amino acid derivatives will be a better dental restorative because it demonstrated improved mechanical strengths and may eliminate potential cytotoxicity in current R MGICs caused by leached HEMA.

Synthesis and evaluation of HEMA-free glass-ionomer cements for dental applications.
TL;DR: A novel HEMA-freeLCGIC system based on amino acid derivatives has been developed and may eliminate potential cytotoxicity in current LCGICs caused by leached 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA).
46
Synthesis of amino acid-containing polyacids and their application in self-cured glass-ionomer cement
TL;DR: In this article, six methacrylate or acrylate derivatives of natural amino acids were synthesized and characterized and the effects of the molecular weight (MW) and powder/liquid (P/L) ratio were evaluated.
44
Novel resin modified glass-ionomer cements with improved flexural strength and ease of handling
TL;DR: The exotherm and setting time suggest that novel redox-initiated resin-modified GICs hold promise as biocompatible and workable cement for orthopedic applications.
43
Synthesis and formulation of vinyl-containing polyacids for improved light-cured glass-ionomer cements
TL;DR: In this paper, the conditions for light curing were studied and optimized, and the effects of molecular weight, grafting ratio, comonomer, liquid composition, powder/liquid (P/L) ratio, glass powder and aging were evaluated.
