A Transitional Full-Mouth Rehabilitation Using Injection-Molded Composite: A 6-Year Clinical Follow-up

Newer high-strength injectable composites are increasingly being used as a transitional restorative material for complex wear and/or erosion cases. Featuring excellent fractural strength, wear resistance, and gloss retention, these durable composites are placed using an injection-molding technique utilizing clear matrices obtained from a diagnostic wax-up. In the past, this method employed only one matrix per arch and required time-consuming isolation of individual teeth. However, the technique has evolved into one that treats alternating teeth using two matrices per arch to more efficiently facilitate bonding. This approach allows for a full-mouth rehabilitation in a single appointment, yielding immediate cosmetic and functional results and typically requiring only minimal follow-up to check occlusion and esthetics. The presented case report demonstrates this application of injection-molded composite as a transitional full-mouth restoration strategy, showing 6-year follow-up.
