Glass-hybrids: your partner in routine work

Restoring carious teeth is one of the major treatments that dentist provide for their patients. There are many treatment options choice of which depends on caries risk of the patient, location, and extent of the lesion, lesion activity, and, of course, special demands placed on the restoration. A new restorative concept based on glass hybrid technology, which combines GIC with different sizes of filler particles and nano filled composite resin coat, is a promising option for restoring the teeth. GICs, in general, are bioactive materials with a benefit of strong chemical adhesion to hard dental tissues and which, due to the recent aforementioned developments, can be one of the options for long- term aesthetic restorations, even in the posterior region.
