You can use GIC for restoration. It is advisable to use GIC of higher strength -Type2. GIC has the ability to bond with the tooth without any other material, so it can be used for Dentin bonding. You don't require any etchant or varnish. If it's newly restored GIC restoration apply Vaseline to prevent water contact for sometime giving enough time for the restoration to set.
