Direct composite restorations are accepted as a treatment option for microdontia, which is a relatively prevalent condition that poses esthetic concerns. While free-hand composite placement is technique-sensitive and time-consuming, the resin composite injection technique is more straightforward and predictable. A fully digital workflow has been recently introduced, but the 3D-printed resin index is rigid and challenged by undercuts, as opposed to the silicone index. This case report presents a flexible 3D-printed resin index, which can accurately transfer the digitally simulated functional and esthetic form to the final restoration. In addition, a rigid stabilization holder was designed to stabilize the flexible index.
直接复合修复被认为是治疗过小牙的一种治疗选择,过小牙是一种较为常见的病症,会引起美观问题。虽然徒手复合放置技术敏感且耗时,但树脂复合材料注射技术更为直接和可预测。最近引入了全数字化工作流程,但 3D 打印树脂印模仍然存在刚性问题,而且会受到倒凹的影响,这与硅橡胶印模不同。本病例报告介绍了一种灵活的 3D 打印树脂印模,它可以准确地将数字模拟的功能和美观形态转移到最终修复体上。此外,还设计了一个刚性稳定支架来稳定柔性印模。
