LECTURE

This lecture explores a modern, minimally invasive approach to managing tooth wear using injection moulding within an additive digitally guided workflow. Topics include diagnostic protocols, digital planning, occlusal vertical dimension and intraoral mock-ups. The evolution of the Injection moulding technique will be discussed including its indications and limitations eapecially through the prism of follow-ups up to 7 years.

OBJECTIVES:

Explore how fully guided composites evolved over time
Learn the indications for injection moulding in resin
Case selection for transitional composites into ceramics
Learn the clinical steps in using flowable and paste resin in fully guided workflow including semi-indirect techniques
