    Area of Science:

    • Restorative Dentistry
    • Dental Materials Science

    Background:

    • The Injection Molding Technique (IMT) is a valuable method for creating composite dental restorations.
    • Traditional IMT uses a single layer of flowable composite with a silicone index, limiting esthetic outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and detail the innovative operating protocol for the Customized Hybrid Index (CHI) in IMT.
    • To highlight the advantages of CHI over traditional IMT for improved esthetic results.

    Main Methods:

    • The CHI is a multilayer hybrid stent comprising three components: a transparent silicone inner layer, a supportive silicone layer, and a rigid outer resin shell.
    • The technique involves injecting flowable or heated (thermoviscous) composites into the CHI for precise layering of dental tissues (dentin, enamel, incisal).
    • Calibrated injection holes accommodate various compule tip or syringe needle sizes.

    Main Results:

    • The CHI enables the use of both flowable and thermoviscous composites for stratified layering.
    • This advanced technique facilitates superior esthetic results compared to conventional single-layer IMT.

    Conclusions:

    • The CHI represents an innovative advancement in the Injection Molding Technique.
    • This protocol offers enhanced control over composite layering for improved esthetics and function in dental restorations.
