A fully digital workflow involving 3D printed tooth reduction guides and injection resin‐indexes to restore an impacted canine

Abstract

AbstractObjectiveThe 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.
