The present invention relates to an aqueous dental glass ionomer composition comprising (A) a reactive particulate glass, (B) a water-soluble, polymerizable polymer comprising acidic groups, which is reactive with the particulate glass in a cement reaction, whereby the polymerizable polymer has a polymer backbone and hydrolysis-stable pendant groups having one or more polymerizable carbon-carbon double bonds, wherein the polymerizable polymer is obtainable by a process comprising a) a step of copolymerizing a mixture comprising (i) a first copolymerizable monomer comprising at least one optionally protected carboxylic acid group and a first polymerizable organic moiety, and (ii) a second copolymerizable monomer comprising one or more optionally protected primary and/or secondary amino groups and a second polymerizable organic moiety, for obtaining an amino group containing copolymer; b) a step of coupling to the amino group containing copolymer a compound having a polymerizable moiety and a functional group reactive with an amino group of repeating units derived from the second copolymerizable monomer in the amino group containing copolymer obtained in the first step , wherein the optionally protected amino group is deprotected, so that polymerizable pendant groups are linked to the backbone by hydrolysis-stable linking groups, and, optionally, a step of deprotecting the protected carboxylic acid group after step a) or step b), for obtaining a polymerizable polymer; (C) a hydrolysis-stable, water-soluble monomer having one polymerizable double bond and optionally a carboxylic acid group, said monomer having a molecular weight of at most 200 Da; and (D) a polymerization initiator system.L'invention concerne une composition aqueuse de verre ionomère dentaire qui comprend: (A) un verre particulaire réactif; (B) un polymère polymérisable, soluble dans l'eau, comprenant des groupes acides, qui est réactif avec le verre particulaire dans une réaction
