Abstract

Along with this, it also encompasses our crucial need to save resources and use hi-tech products. It is a burgeoning field which will aid in reducing the detrimental effects of global warming. The main aim of this article is to raise awareness among dental professionals and provide a series of green ideas that can be incorporated in our quotidian dental practices. Green dentistry is imperative, and doing our bit for the environment is the need of the hour.
