A Twist on Injection Molding: Injecting Conventional Resin Composites

Marcos A. Vargas, Robert Margeas

ABSTRACT

Purpose

This article presents a different approach to injectable techniques. This technique uses conventional viscosity materials to achieve maximum strength and esthetics.

Clinical Considerations

The use of high‐viscosity material which has the strongest physical properties is desirable since failure of anterior resin composite has been described as fracture and recurrent decay. By incorporating changes to the conventional injection technique, heating and making bigger access wholes on the matrix allows the utilization of higher conventional viscosity materials.

Conclusions

The use of higher viscosity materials while using injectable techniques is possible by heating and providing a bigger access entrance to composite resin compules.
