Injection Moulding Techniques; Predictability and Simplicity with Direct Anterior Composites

Whether you’re looking to improve efficiency, boost predictability, or refine your esthetic outcomes, this course will give you the tools you need to start your journey with injection moulding.
Dr. Dennis Hartlieb
Achieving beautiful, long-lasting anterior composite restorations has always been one of the greatest challenges in esthetic dentistry. Traditional direct composite restorations require a high level of skill, precision, and time to produce predictable results.

However, advancements in adhesive dentistry and composite resin chemistry have given clinicians new techniques to push the boundaries of what’s possible with modern restorative materials. One of the most efficient and predictable approaches is the injection moulding technique.

To help clinicians master this innovative technique, we’re excited to introduce our new on-demand course: Injection Moulding Techniques; Predictability and Simplicity with Direct Anterior CompositesLed by Dr. Ryan Springer, this course provides a step-by-step, systematic foundation to help you integrate injection moulding into your restorative workflow.

Why Injection Moulding?

Anterior direct composite restorations can be difficult, time-consuming, and technique-sensitive. Achieving consistent esthetic results requires precise layering, contouring, and polishing—often leading to variability in outcomes.

The injection moulding technique simplifies this process by using a clear silicone matrix to guide the placement of composite, ensuring precise adaptation, shape, and anatomy. The result? A more efficient workflow and highly esthetic restorations with minimal finishing and polishing.

By incorporating injection moulding into your practice, you can:

✔ Improve predictability in anterior composite restorations
✔ Enhance efficiency, reducing chair time and rework
✔ Achieve natural esthetics with simplified finishing and polishing
✔ Increase consistency in direct composite cases

What You’ll Learn in This Course

This on-demand course is designed to provide a simple, systematic approach for clinicians who want to incorporate injection moulding into their practice. Whether you’re new to the technique or looking to refine your skills, this course offers a comprehensive introduction with both lecture-based learning and hands-on demonstration.

The Science Behind Injection Moulding

Historically, flowable composites lacked the strength to be used for these types of restorations. Understanding how these materials have changed will give the clinician confidence when treatment planning their patients for injection moulding.

Material Selection for Success

Choosing the right materials is critical for predictable results. This course covers essential material selection, including:

🔹 Bonding agents – Selecting the right adhesive for optimal bonding strength
🔹 Composite resins – Understanding material properties for injection moulding
🔹 Matrix fabrication – Creating an accurate clear silicone matrix for ideal adaptation

Step-by-Step Technique

The course will show you the step-by-step techniques to ensure you have a strong foundation in injection moulding. Dr. Springer walks you through the entire process, from matrix fabrication to composite injection and finishing techniques.

Hands-On Demonstration

In the hands-on portion of the course, Dr. Springer provides a live demonstration of the injection moulding technique.

With your own hands-on kit, you’ll have the opportunity to follow along, practice, and learn techniques that will help you achieve consistent and esthetic outcomes in your own practice.
