Abstract
The mechanism of erosion of a glass ionomer cement (PR Scell) was stud ied using two experimental procedures: discs of dental cement were imm ersed in distilled water under unrenewed conditions as defined by ISO standard or under continuously running distilled water to simulate the oral environment. Both experiments suggest that erosion is important and highly correlated to the cryolithe material included in the formul ation of this cement.
