What is the Sandwich Technique?
The Sandwich Technique is a highly effective restorative method that combines a glass-based material and a composite resin to deliver long-lasting, functional, and esthetic restorations, especially in deep or subgingival cases.
The fluoride-releasing properties of resin modified glass ionomers such as GC Fuji II LC® reduce post-operative sensitivity and helps prevent future demineralization by remineralizing surrounding tooth structure over time.
The addition of universal composite such as G-ænial™ A’CHORD in the occlusal layer enhances both the functionality and aesthetics of the restoration. With its superior physical properties, including high strength, wear resistance, and excellent gloss retention, G-ænial™ A’CHORD delivers long-lasting restorations that blend beautifully with the surrounding tooth structure.
Together, by using GC Fuji II LC® and G-ænial™ A’CHORD in the Sandwich Technique, you can provide your patients the best of both worlds!
