Glass-ionomers
Most commonly referred to as glass ionomer cements (GIC's). These are materials which consist of an aqueous polyacrylate and a fluoroaluminosilicate glass. These set by an acid-base reaction in the presence of water.

These cements appear to adhere to tooth structure by formation of ionic bonds as a result of chelation of the carboxyl groups in the acid with the calcium and/or phosphate ions in the apatite of enamel and dentin.
