Abstract

This technique article describes a digital protocol for oral rehabilitation using injectable flowable composite resin. The method integrates intraoral scanning, digital smile design (DSD), and 3-dimensionally (3D) printed diagnostically waxed casts to fabricate silicone matrices for the sequential injection of composite resin. This technique successfully restored the patient's vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and provided a minimally invasive solution. A 5-year clinical follow-up confirmed the approach's durability, although periodic maintenance polishing was required.

使用数字注射复合树脂技术修复咬合的垂直尺寸：5年临床随访。

本技术文章描述了一种使用可注射流动复合树脂进行口腔康复的数字方案。该方法集成了口腔内扫描、数字微笑设计（DSD）和三维（3D）打印诊断蜡模来制造硅酮基质，用于连续注射复合树脂。该技术成功地恢复了患者的咬合垂直尺寸（VDO），并提供了微创解决方案。5年的临床随访证实了该方法的耐久性，尽管需要定期维护抛光。
