Recently, a self-curing dental composite (Stela, SDI, Australia) was developed with advantages such as low polymerization stress and shrinkage, unlimited depth of activation, homogeneity of polymer conversion, fast curing, good adhesion to dental tissue, fewer clinical steps, and a chameleon effect. Its indications include restoration of Class V cavities. However, this requires additional containment and shape determination maneuvers. Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) involving the posterior teeth are common, and restoring them presents difficulties in isolation, instrumentation, finishing, and polishing. This study presents an alternative technique that uses Stela with a transparent silicone index for direct injection. After making an impression of the region with NCCLs, making models and wax-ups of the restorations, a personalized injection index was constructed. At a subsequent appointment, with the index ready and tested for adaptation and stability, the following restorative steps were performed: prophylaxis, insertion of a non-impregnated retraction cord, adhesive application, index positioning, and resin injection. After 4 minutes, the index was removed, and the restorations were finished and polished. This technique simplified the process with high predictability and efficiency.
