Purpose:
This article presents a different approach to injectable techniques. This technique uses conventional viscosity materials to achieve maximum strength and esthetics.
Clinical Considerations:
The use of high-viscosity material which has the strongest physical properties is desirable since failure of anterior resin composite has been described as fracture and recurrent decay. By incorporating changes to the conventional injection technique, heating and making bigger access wholes on the matrix allows the utilization of higher conventional viscosity materials.
Conclusions:
The use of higher viscosity materials while using injectable techniques is possible by heating and providing a bigger access entrance to composite resin compules.
