Why do we have to apply gic over calcium hydroxide?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Protection: Calcium hydroxide is relatively fragile and also does not bond to tooth structure well. By placing a layer of glass ionomer over it you hold the calcium hydroxide in place and prevent it from cracking and/or dislodging when you place your final restoration.
