Dr. Gökhan Dokumacıgil was born in 1989 in Türkiye. After graduating from the Faculty of Dentistry in 2014, he completed his Postgraduate in Restorative Dentistry at the Marmara University in Istanbul (Türkiye). In 2017, he was awarded the “Best Aesthetic Case Report” poster presentation as part of the 21 st International Congress of Restorative Dentistry, in Türkiye organised by the Turkish Society of Restorative Dentistry. He was also awarded “Best Poster Presentation” in 2019, at the 9th CONSEURO Congress in Germany organised by the European Federation of Conservative Dentistry. He is especially interested in Anterior and Posterior Direct & Indirect Restorations, and CAD-CAM restorations. Gökhan is an international lecturer on the topics of “anterior composite restorations”, “posterior direct & indirect restorations”, “rubber dam isolation” and “dental photography”. Currently, he works as a restorative dentistry specialist at his private clinic in Istanbul. Additionally, he has a passion for graphic design and always enriches his presentations with original 3D dental animations. He also develops videos and 3D animations for dental companies. The injectable helpmate for many workflows By Dr Gökhan Dokumacıgil , Türkiye In the dental practice, we encounter a variety of restorative situations to deal with. After the improvement of up-to-date composite resins, they have become the first choice for direct anterior and posterior restorations, showing long clinical service in a multitude of studies. Because of their aesthetic appearance, minimal invasiveness, enhanced mechanical properties and lower cost, they are more often utilized than ceramic restorations. Previously, only paste-type composites were used for the final restorative steps while flowable composites were just being used as base or liner for direct and indirect restoratives. With the introduction of contemporary highly-filler content injectable composites, new possibilities arose and entirely changed the perception of their convenience. Now, these materials are useful in many restorative areas, such as cavities from any Class, immediate dentine sealing (IDS), deep margin elevation (DME), composite repair, fibre mesh stabilisation and injection moulding. Furthermore, thanks to their wide colour range, all anterior aesthetic restorative steps can be completed by using only injectable composites. While the opaque shades of G-ænial Universal Injectable (GC) composite could be used to mask discoloured tooth surfaces, the body shades are mostly being used to define the chroma of restoration. Moreover, higher translucent enamel shades allow for light transmittance and enable to generate a translucent halo effect on the incisal third of teeth. 1
