In the field of direct restorative solutions, a recently acquired technique that is attracting great interest among professionals is the Injection Moulding Technique. The author has developed the technique in an innovative way with the help of a new template dedicated to the injection procedure called Customized Hybrid Index. The technique involves the use of flowable or thermoviscous composites and allows the shape, surface and texture of the elements to be restored by replicating shapes defined in the laboratory through accurate waxing and tested with mock-ups before being injected. The classic field of application is purely restorative, especially in additive cases (e.g. diastemas, erosion/abrasion, etc.) from some anterior elements to the full mouth adhesive rehabilitations. However, the technique also becomes strategic in orthodontic cases in order to define the final volumes before orthodontic movements. A final, relevant option, developed by the author, is the application of the injection technique in even severe periodontal cases with significant loss of periodontal support. In these cases, after adequate surgical or non-surgical periodontal therapy, it is possible to restore adequate shapes by closing black triangles and, if necessary, splinting together elements with significant mobility. It is therefore clear that the fields of application are numerous and that the technique, as developed, constitutes an extraordinary therapeutic opportunity from an increasingly conservative and minimally invasive perspective.
