Evaluation of the pulpal response to a resin-modified glass ionomer, a conventional glass ionomer and calcium hydroxide. Fifty-five deep Class V cavities were lined with Vivaglass Liner, Chembond Superior and Dycal. After seven, 30, and 60 days the teeth were extracted and a histological assessment was performed. There was no statistically significant difference in pulpal response among the three groups for the same time interval (P > 0.05). Light-cured glass ionomers have similar advantages to conventional glass ionomers.
