Do you have any recommendations for an easy-to-use restorative material for difficult patients, such as pediatric or geriatric patients?

Glass ionomer restorative materials are ideal for difficult clinical situations. They bond chemically to enamel and dentin without the need for bonding agents, release significant amounts of fluoride, and are very quick and easy to use. GC Fuji IX GP EXTRA (GC America, Inc.) has recently been reformulated to enhance setting time, fluoride release, strength, and translucency. It works well in difficult clinical situations, and in situations where recurrent caries may be a problem.
