Technique to restore the midline space of central incisors using a two‐in‐one template: A clinical report

ObjectiveThis article describes a novel 3D‐printed template armed with interproximal matrices to isolate interproximal contact areas and guide injectable resin composite for consecutive closure of multiple diastema.Clinical ConsiderationsAmong several treatment options proposed for diastema closure, direct resin composite is noninvasive and easy to repair. The “composite injection technique” has been introduced to improve time efficiency and reduce technique sensitivity for clinicians. However, in the case of multiple diastema, the overflow of excess resin materials onto the adjacent teeth during injection poses challenges for recontouring the interproximal anatomy. A 3D‐printed template with special‐designed gaps at interproximal areas was designed and fabricated based on a virtual diagnostic wax‐up. Flowable resin composite was then consecutively injected through the template to close diastemata at multiple adjacent teeth.ConclusionThis technique using a 3D‐printed template with interproximal isolation design contributed to an efficient and accurate operation for multiple anterior diastema closure.Clinical SignificanceEfficient and accurate freehand buildups of composite restoration for multiple diastema are challenging in operative dentistry. The described noninvasive full digital workflow provides a predictable method to accurately recontour the multiple target restorations and reduce the chair‐side time and technical sensitivity.

ObjectiveThe present clinical report describes a long‐term temporary restorative approach using injectable composite to reshape a canine into a central incisor, within the context of an ongoing orthodontic treatment. This treatment protocol describes a fully‐digital workflow, incorporating digital designed and 3D printed diagnostic wax up, reduction guides and resin‐injection index.Clinical ConsiderationsEffective planning is important when aiming to deliver a comprehensive and multidisciplinary workflow, and digital tools serve as invaluable aids.ConclusionThe use of a fully digital workflow in a comprehensive dental treatment resulted in a predictable and successful outcome for a restoration of a canine that was transformed into a central incisor.Clinical SignificanceThis approach highlights the efficacy of digital technology in achieving precise and successful dental restorations, emphasizing its significance in modern dental practice.
