Article Abstract

Achieving precise restoration of tooth function and personalized restoration of natural tooth esthetics has always been a significant challenge in direct restorative dentistry. The traditional direct restorative techniques are limited by the subjective operations of dentists, resulting in high technical sensitivity, long operation time, and unpredictable restoration results, making it difficult to meet patients' personalized demands for restoration outcomes. An innovative flowable resin injection technique was introduced in this study. By combining digital design with personalized restoration guides, this technique achieves precise and personalized tooth restoration, thus revolutionizing the traditio-nal paradigm of direct tooth restoration. Specifically, this technique is guided by the patient's subjective aesthetic needs. It utilizes digital technology to pre-design the restoration result and creates a personalized restoration guide. During clinical operation, the dentist needs to only precisely inject the flowable resin into the guide, allowing for rapid completion of the restoration, thereby significantly reducing the operation time and improving the precision and predictability of the restoration. The perfect combination of digital design and flowable resin injection not only significantly improves the precision and predictability of direct tooth restoration but also remarkably shortens the clinical operation time and reduces the requirements for the dentist's technical level, making it widely applicable to the restoration of various tooth defects. Thus, it improves patient satisfaction and reduces the workload of dentists. This innovative restoration technique is expected to become a new productive force in future clinical direct adhesive restorations.

Resin composites have become the preferred restorative material in modern dentistry due to their superior esthetics, improved physical properties, and advancements in curing technologies. To enhance their clinical performance, manufacturers continuously refine the resin matrix and optimize filler particle size and shape, improving both mechanical strength and optical characteristics. Evaluating optical properties is crucial for predicting the performance of resin composites over time, particularly in maintaining color, gloss, translucency, and overall appearance.

One of the common forms of dental injury is anterior crown fractures, which mainly affect teenagers and young adults. Fractures of the coronal portion of the permanent incisors characterize 18-22% of total traumatic injuries to dental hard tissues, of which 96% of them comprise the maxillary incisors. An uncomplicated fracture of the crown is one of the most common types of dental traumatic injury.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical performance of a conventional and flowable composite resin in the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs), with and without occlusal adjustment, over a period of up to 18 months.

Methods: Eighteen participants with abfraction lesions and occlusal interferences were recruited. A total of 145 teeth with NCCL were divided into four groups: FWA (flowable composite with occlusal adjustment), FNA (flowable composite without occlusal adjustment), CWA (conventional composite with occlusal adjustment), and CNA (conventional composite without occlusal adjustment).

Background: This study investigated the effect of a 45% carbamide peroxide-containing office-type bleaching agent on the microhardness (MH) and surface roughness (SR) of flowable and paste-type bulk-fill composite resins.

Methods: This study used two bulk-fill composite resins, 3 M Filtek Bulk-Fill (paste) and Estelite Bulk-Fill Flow (flowable). Twenty disc-shaped specimens were prepared and divided into two groups according to the type of bulk-fill materials.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical performance of nitric acid associated with a mineral-enriched adhesive system compared to the conventional approach of phosphoric acid and a universal adhesive in cervical carious lesion restorations.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-six individuals with 44 cervical anterior carious lesions were randomized into two equal parallel groups. The intervention group received a nitric acid etch (Clean and Boost dentin enamel cleanser, Vista Apex, USA) in conjunction with a mineral-enriched adhesive and a flowable composite liner (RE-GEN, Vista Apex, USA).
