Question 127 (part 2) · LDEK · Restorations — technique and errors

1) closed sandwich technique is used when all of the cavity edges are located in enamel; glass-ionomer cement restores dentin and composite restores enamel;
2) in a situation where gingival edge is located within root cementum/dentin, glass-ionomer cement is left in gingival area without covering it with composite – open sandwich;
3) in case of open sandwich technique, gingival edge is obliquely cut on proximal surface;
4) in occluso-ginigval layer technique, layers of material are placed horizontally, sequentially one by one;
5) in bucco-lingual layer technique, first layer of composite is placed on dentin surface without contact with opposite cavity walls, subsequent layers are introduced in the shape of a wedge.
