Aesthetic rehabilitation of a case of polydiastema in the upper anterior region with direct composite restoration using the injection molding technique: case report

Diastema is the gap between the teeth or mesiodistal gaps caused by the size difference of the teeth. More than one diastema in the jaw is called "polydiastema." Polydiastema can occur for various reasons. These reasons include harmful habits and genetic or systemic disorders. In this case report, restoration of an anterior polydiastema case with direct flowable composite resin is described. A 29-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with a gap between her maxillary teeth. Treatment options were evaluated with the patient, and it was decided to close the diastema with direct composite resin restoration using injection molding technique. After the restoration was completed, finishing and polishing procedures were performed. In the control examination, it was determined that the restorations met the patient's aesthetic expectations.
