Objective:

To provide immediate esthetic rehabilitation for a young patient dissatisfied with her smile, while preserving her deciduous teeth.

Approach:
  • Patient Presentation: A 23-year-old female presented with low self-esteem linked to her smile, with clinical findings of retained primary teeth and agenesis of permanent successors.
  • Treatment Plan: The patient declined a proposed orthodontic and implant plan due to treatment duration and surgeries, leading to a conservative interim approach.
  • Esthetic Rehabilitation Process: After vital teeth bleaching, digital smile design, diagnostic wax-up, and intraoral mockup were performed, followed by the application of an adhesive system and injectable composite resin technique.
Key Findings:
  • Retained deciduous teeth can serve as a provisional foundation for esthetic improvement.
  • The injectable flowable composite technique allows for accurate reproduction of planned anatomy and efficient clinical time management.
  • Immediate improvement in smile harmony can positively impact patient self-esteem.
Interpretation:

The use of injectable composite resin techniques can provide effective esthetic solutions while postponing more invasive treatments.

Limitations:
  • The approach is interim and may not address underlying dental issues long-term.
  • The success of the esthetic rehabilitation is dependent on the condition of the retained deciduous teeth.
Conclusion:

The injectable composite resin technique offers a minimally invasive option for esthetic rehabilitation, enhancing patient satisfaction and self-esteem.
