thrust to move towards ‘Green dentistry’. Green dentistry is an innovative way of dental practice which is environment friendly and at the
same time conserves money and time by reducing waste, conserving energy and decreasing pollution with the use of latest techniques
and procedures. Green dentistry therefore, protects the environment and mankind from the hazards of rapid urbanisation in developing
