ABSTRACT
PATIENTS An 18-year-old woman sought treatment for caries of the anterior teeth after completing orthodontic treatment. Direct composite resin restoration was chosen because the patient preferred a minimally invasive and cost-effective treatment whenever possible. Based on diagnostic wax-up, veneer-shaped indices for composite resin injection were designed to replicate and restore tooth defects rapidly and accurately. The overall esthetic result was excellent after a 1-year of follow-up. DISCUSSION:
Direct freehand composite resin restorations are clinically challenging. The recently proposed 3D printing index for the composite resin injection technique is helpful for direct restoration but is challenging to remove. The veneer-shaped indices avoid the formation of an undercut in the direction of removing the index, making them easy to remove after finishing the restorations.CONCLUSIONS:
Using veneer-shaped indices for composite resin injection enables rapid esthetic rehabilitation of labial tooth defects caused by caries. This approach reduces chairside time and operational difficulty while allowing for easy index removal after completing the restorations.
