Resin Modified Glass Ionomer (RMGI) Liners in Dentistry at Hometown Orthodontics
At Hometown Orthodontics in Beaumont, Dr. Dr. Hugh Saltaji and our dental team use advanced materials to improve the quality and comfort of every dental restoration. One of these materials is the Resin Modified Glass Ionomer (RMGI) liner, an important part of many modern dental procedures.
What Are RMGI Liners?
RMGI liners, sometimes called RMGI bases, are special materials used beneath dental fillings and restorations. They combine the best features of traditional glass ionomer cements with the added strength and adaptability of resin. Because of their smooth, flowable texture, RMGI liners are ideal for deep cavities and composite restorations where precision matters most.
Why We Use RMGI Liners at Hometown Orthodontics
Over the past several years, our practice has integrated RMGI liner/base materials into a wide range of treatments. They offer several key benefits that help protect and strengthen your teeth while improving the long-term success of restorations:
- Preventing microleakage under the filling or crown
- Reducing bacterial activity inside the cavity
- Minimizing post-operative tooth sensitivity
- Releasing fluoride to help remineralize and strengthen tooth structure
These liners are also simple to apply and bond well with both the tooth surface and the restorative material placed above. This combination of strength, protection, and ease of use makes RMGI liners one of the most reliable options for restorative dentistry today.
