title: The sandwich technique, an alternative treatment for tetracycline-stained teeth: a case report.
abstract: A patient whose teeth had been severely stained by improper use of tetracycline was treated through a direct system of facial veneering. The technique associates the use of a light-activating glass-ionomer cement with two kinds of light-activating composite resin. Satisfactory esthetics were obtained immediately.
