Injection moulding for anterior composite restorations using a digital workflow

Injection moulding is a novel, minimally invasive technique used to transfer a diagnostic wax-up into direct composite restorations. It is a predictable technique that is ideal for restoring complex tooth morphologies in cases such as tooth wear and microdontia. Injectable composites, with improved flow and strength properties, allow for precise anatomical replication, resulting in highly aesthetic restorations. Though the technique is efficient and conserves tooth structure, it requires careful case selection and technical skill to manage common challenges such as excess material flow. The use of a digital workflow can enhance the accuracy and predictability of the treatment.
