Replacing mandibular central incisors with a direct resin-bonded fixed dental prosthesis by using a bilayering composite resin injection technique with a digital workflow: A dental technique

Abstract

A straightforward technique is presented for an interim or short-term definitive esthetic replacement of missing anterior teeth requiring no tooth preparation. Composite resins are injected into transparent silicone indices fabricated from 3-dimensional–printed casts of a digital waxing. The dentin core is formed of a durable short fiber–reinforced injectable composite resin and veneered with an enamel-shade composite resin for enhanced esthetics. Besides being noninvasive, this technique is more straightforward than traditional options, reducing chair time while providing an accurate outcome.
