Device and kit for injection bonding multi-tooth dental restoration in a single treatment

Abstract

Methods and kits of materials and supplies for restoring teeth by an injection molding process and/or mold overlays in situ in a patient's mouth so as to correct the imperfect teeth of the patient's dentition. The imperfect teeth are corrected by applying restoration materials using a mold of a corrected model of the patients dentition placed over the imperfect teeth. Adjacent teeth may be covered with a polymer release material prior to injection molding of teeth to be corrected, such that the teeth to be corrected have at least one tooth between them draped with the polymer release material to provide a space adjacent to each of the corrected teeth. The corrected teeth are then covered with the polymer release material in a second round of treatment and restoration material is applied to one or more previously covered teeth to provide a first layer which simulates the dentin layer of teeth. Thereafter a simulated enamel layer is applied over the dentin layer using one or more alternating molds and yet another simulated incisal layer is applied over the enamel layer using one or more alternating molds employing the techniques described.
