Summary
Flowable injectable composite resins offer a cost-effective transitional solution for complex complete mouth rehabilitations. This technique provides immediate stabilization and allows patients to manage financial and time constraints before permanent restorations.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Restorative Dentistry
- Dental Materials
Background:
- Complex complete mouth rehabilitations are often time-consuming and expensive.
- Financial limitations can prevent patients from seeking necessary dental treatment, leading to worsening oral conditions.
- Urgent rehabilitations pose significant challenges in terms of patient compliance and long-term prognosis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the application of flowable injectable composite resins for transitional treatment in complex complete mouth rehabilitation.
- To present a cost-effective and time-efficient method for managing extensive dental needs.
- To offer a solution for patients facing financial or time constraints.
Main Methods:
- Utilized flowable injectable composite resins as a transitional bonding material.
- Employed an injection molding technique with clear indices derived from diagnostic waxing.
- Performed full mouth rehabilitation within a single appointment.
Main Results:
- Achieved immediate stabilization of deteriorating oral conditions.
- Provided instant aesthetic and functional results.
- Facilitated a cost-effective transitional phase for patients.
Conclusions:
- Injectable composite resins serve as a viable transitional material for complex cases.
- This approach allows for immediate treatment, addressing urgent patient needs.
- It enables patients to plan for definitive porcelain restorations over time while managing current limitations.
