An object of the present invention is to provide a paste-type cement composition which while retaining adhesion to tooth substance, biocompatibility, surface curability and fluorine sustained-releasability which are the characteristics derived from the conventional glass ionomer cement, reduces water sensitivity which is shortcoming of the conventional glass ionomer cement, enables simple mixing operation, does not adversely affect on the various properties of a cured cement depending on a difference in operators or a skill degree, and can afford various stable properties. There is provided a two paste-type glass ionomer cement comprising a resin-based paste containing a hydrophobic polymerizable monomer and a polymer of acidic group-containing polymerizable monomers which are insoluble to each other, and a water-based paste containing a hydrophilic polymerizable monomer and water which are soluble to each other, in which an acid reactive filler is contained in at least one of pastes.

An integral, one-piece silanated particle impregnated gutta percha core/cone technique employs a thin layer of a luting agent, such as glass ionomer cement with a machined gutta percha core/cone, precisely matches the preparation, thereby reducing leakage and achieving a hermetic seal. The hermetic seal is further enhanced by a mono-block bond that occurs between the silanated particles in the gutta percha and the appropriate chemical sealant. Optional cryogenic treatment of the gutta percha material changes its molecular weight, making it stiffer and conducive to forming an integral, one piece core/cone, without the need for a separate carrier core to install the tapered gutta percha core/cone within the root canal. Additionally, the tapered body of the core/cone may be reticulated in a slightly three dimensional texturized framework to increase surface area and therefore increase retention. Optional line demarcation indicia are also placed on the core/cone. Additionally, the head of the core/cone can be gripped by a delivery vehicle clasp.

A glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer coated blank is combined with glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer to create an integral mono-block post. prefabricated glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer post (with or without a coated blank) is cemented into the root canal with glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer, thereby creating a mono-block post as well as a mono-block core. The glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer cement is bonded to the canal wall and also through the bonding of the cement to the post surface of similar material. An alternate methodology involves syringing glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer in a malleable, semi-solid state into the post preparation space and a glass ionomer or resin modified glass ionomer coated blank is then inserted into the canal to a distance substantially equal to the depth of the post preparation.
