Abstract:

The novel flowable composite injection technique has found a widened range of clinical applications with the continuous improvement of flowable resin composites and development of silicon guide technology. The ease of ope-ration and high plasticity of the flowable composite injection technique reduce clinical technique sensitivity. Through the combination of silicon guide and digital technologies, complex and difficult direct adhesive restoration cases can be completed with high quality and efficiency. This article discusses the progress of flowable resin composite materials and the development and clinical application of the flowable composite injection technique. It provides a reference for the clinical application of the flowable composite injection technique.

Key words: flowable composite, injection technique, esthetic restoration of anterior teeth, anterior interdental space, digital
