An adhesive cement is prepared by coating an aluminosilicate glass ionomer with an acid polymerization inhibitor of pKa between 2-3.5, and then mixing the treated glass with cyanoacrylate monomer and water. The glass is treated by dissolving the acid, typically tartaric, tartronic, malic, maleic or mellitic acid in methanol and adding the glass powder to form a slurry, then evaporating the methanol.
