Summary A new glass ionomer cement system (aluminoborate) is under consideration for dental applications, including the possibility of a periodontal dressing material. Following the development of pertinent adhesive and rheological tests, two experimental formulations were selected by a simple screening procedure and subjected to appropriate adhesive tests. One formulation proved satisfactory and was subjected to a rheological test in addition. The possible role of aluminoborates as periodontal dressing materials is discussed.
