GC EUROPE Fuji VIII GP - Manual (Page 13)

When you’re faced with higher occlusal load, or need to
place restorations in highly acidic environments, use a
packable glass ionomer and a composite restorative with
a laminate technique. And whenever cavities are larger or
under greater occlusal stress, you can place an external
restorative material such as Gradia Direct Posterior over a
base of Fuji IX GP or Fuji II LC. Although direct composi-
te resin is often the external material used, you may also
want to consider other types of indirect restoration as an
option.
Sandwich technique
To perform the cut-back sandwich technique, overfill the
cavity with glass ionomer, then cut back to form the sha-
pe and size of the cavity outline you want for the com-
posite laminate. Proven to be very successful, you can
enhance this combination by using G-Bond as the adhe-
sive link between the glass ionomer and the composite.
