Biological properties of a new dental cement of glass ionomer cement were compared with other types of conventional cement. The biological test was carried out by tissue culture method and animal examination. The culture cells showed weaker reaction to the glass ionomer cement than zinc oxide-eugenol or polycarboxylate cement. Pulp tissue reaction showed no significant difference between glass ionomer and zinc oxide-eugenol cement from in vivo experiments using monkeys.
