About
Debbie S. B. Ong is a dental researcher whose work centers on restorative dentistry, specifically the performance and longevity of resin-modified glass ionomer cements (RMGICs). Her research addresses critical clinical challenges in adhesive dentistry, particularly the factors that influence the sealing ability and durability of these restorations. Her most-cited studies, including "Effects of finishing/polishing techniques on microleakage of resin-modified glass ionomer cement restorations" (2003, 8 citations) and "Effects of instrumentation time on microleakage of resin-modified glass ionomer cements" (2003, 6 citations), systematically investigate how clinical procedures—from finishing and polishing to the timing of instrumentation—affect microleakage, a primary cause of restoration failure. By using Class V cavity preparations in extracted teeth and materials like Fuji II LC, Ong’s work provides evidence-based guidance for clinicians aiming to optimize the marginal integrity and clinical success of RMGIC restorations. Her contributions are foundational for practitioners seeking to improve adhesive restorative outcomes, offering practical insights that bridge material science and chairside technique.
