The sandwich restoration dental technique was developed by McLean and Wilson in 1977. The technique was called “sandwich” because the finished product resembles it. As with the two pieces of bread, we have composite resin above and the tooth structure below; meanwhile in between them is the resin-modified glass ionomer. The purpose of the procedure is to combine the advantages of glass ionomer fillings and composite resin to achieve better results. 

In this blog, we will explore the sandwich technique: the different types and materials used, its benefits, and the clinical steps involved. 

The dental bonding procedure is one of the most frequently performed procedures in dentistry. The procedure, however, requires great knowledge on the part of the dentist as well as quality materials to achieve a long-lasting result.

The global movement to address climate change has sparked a rise in eco-consciousness and the adoption of "green" initiatives in various industries. One notable example is the concept of green dentistry, which strives to promote environmentally friendly practices and objectives. But is green dentistry merely a marketing buzzword, or is it a legitimate trend? Through a systematic literature review, we aim to explore existing research on this topic and shed light on how dental practices are incorporating green dentistry principles. Finally, we will highlight, how GC as one of the main dental materials manufacturers, is contributing to green dentistry by showcasing GC Glass Hybrids unique eco-friendly capsule.
