Disclosed herein are curable glass ionomer compositions that include a first paste and a second paste, and methods for using the disclosed compositions. The first paste includes water, a polyacid, and a non acid-reactive filler. The second paste includes water, an acid-reactive filler; and non-aggregated, water-miscible, nano-sized silica particles having at least 25% surface coverage of the particles with a silane. The composition is essentially free of a resin. In some embodiments, the water content of the first paste and the second paste of the paste/paste GI composition disclosed herein is less than 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition.

The present disclosure relates to a medical cement composition containing calcium silicate in an amount of less than 20 wt % of a total weight of the composition, with a lithium salt being added thereto. The medical cement composition of the present disclosure has a low compressive strength of 12 MPa or less, after being hardened, for easy removal, excellent stability in storage, and high bioactivity.
