TLDR
The findings indicated that large variations existed between the bond strengths of the materials tested, and it may be suggested that glass ionomers used in a dry field may be beneficial for orthodontic bonding, and thatGlass ionomer resin systems using in a moist environment need an enamel conditioner.
