Summary
This study presents a minimally invasive injectable composite resin technique for aesthetic dental restorations. The method effectively addresses spacing and diastema, offering a cost-effective solution with excellent long-term results.
Area of Science:
- Restorative Dentistry
- Minimally Invasive Dentistry
- Dental Materials
Background:
- Aesthetic and functional concerns like tooth spacing and diastema are common.
- Traditional restorative methods may require significant tooth preparation.
Observation:
- A 34-year-old female patient presented with upper anterior spacing and midline diastema.
- The patient desired improved tooth visibility and canine reshaping.
Findings:
- A minimally invasive direct composite resin technique using a clear silicone index was employed.
- The technique successfully elongated teeth, closed diastemas, and reshaped canines.
- A 12-month follow-up showed no soft tissue inflammation or significant wear.
Implications:
- The injectable composite resin technique offers a minimally invasive, cost-effective approach for direct composite veneers.
- This method is suitable for both definitive and provisional restorations.
- Meticulous planning is key to achieving desirable aesthetic and functional outcomes while preserving tooth structure.
