A Complete Digital Workflow Using the Additive Manufacturing Injection Molding (AMIM) Technique for Polychromatic Anterior Resin Composite Restorations

This case report introduces the Additive Manufacturing Injection Molding (AMIM) technique, a fully digital workflow using orthodontic 3D-printed resin for polychromatic anterior composite restorations. The technique aims to improve precision and efficiency compared to traditional methods. This report demonstrates the feasibility and predictability of using flexible 3D-printed resin in conjunction with a digital workflow to achieve aesthetically pleasing outcomes in a patient seeking treatment for short lateral incisors and hypocalcification staining.
