Abstract:

In the present case report, the use of the composite resin injection technique with flowable composite resin was described, aiming to rapidly restore functionality and aesthetics in a patient with severe dental wear. The used technique helped achieve an appropriate morphology, functionality and aesthetics within a reduced execution time. Initially, the teeth were clinically examined, then digital scanning was performed, on the basis of which the 3D wax up model was realized. The obtained model was impressed using a transparent silicone material, so that the silicone guide – on the basis of which the mock-up and, subsequently, the flowable resin injection technique were performed – was made. The results obtained by flowable composite resin injection and wax-up and mock-up techniques are highly satisfactory from an aesthetic, morphological and functional point of view, although the behavior over time should still be evaluated.
