Abstract

The “sandwich technique” of placing resin modified glass ionomer (RMGI) as the initial restorative material increment, followed by overlaying with light-cured composite, is a common clinical procedure. This project evaluated the effects of RMGI surface abrasion as well as dentin bonding agent components on the shear bond strength (SBS) of composite to RMGI.
