Effect of Fiber Reinforcement Type on the Performance of Large Posterior Restorations: A Review of In Vitro Studies
<p>To reinforce extensively prepared cavities, different types of fiber reinforcement are utilized. Polyethylene and glass fibers are the most commonly used fibers in that purpose; each type has its own advantages over the ...

<p><strong>Objectives: </strong>The aim was to explore the survival of extensively damaged anterior teeth without ferrule restored with different fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) post-core foundations and composite ...
Mechanical Performance of Direct Restorative Techniques Utilizing Long Fibers for "Horizontal Splinting" to Reinforce Deep MOD Cavities-An Updated Literature Review
<p>Excessive cavity preparation and root canal treatment leads to a weakened tooth structure with a lower resistance to fracture. Fiber reinforcement is frequently used to reinforce such teeth, and multiple fiber types and ...

Fracture behavior of discontinuous fiber-reinforced composite inlay-retained fixed partial denture before and after fatigue aging
<p><strong>Purpose: </strong>To evaluate the fracture behavior of inlay-retained fixed partial dentures (IRFPDs) made of experimental short fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC) computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) block before and after cyclic fatigue aging.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Five groups (n=20/group) of three-unit posterior IRFPDs were fabricated. The first and second groups were CAD/CAM fabricated from experimental SFRC blocks or lithium-disilicate (IPS e.max CAD, IVOCLAR) materials, the third group comprised a three-dimensional-printed composite (Temp PRINT, GC), and the fourth and fifth groups comprised conventional laboratory flowable composite (Gradia Plus, GC) and commercial flowable SFRC (everX Flow, GC), respectively. All IRFPDs were luted into a metal jig with adhesive dual-cure resin cement (RelyX Ultimate, 3M ESPE). Half the IRFPDs per group (n=10) were subjected to fatigue aging for 10,000 cycles. The remaining half were statically loaded until fracture without fatigue aging. The load was applied vertically between triangular ridges of the buccal and lingual cusps. The fracture mode was visually examined using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Data were statistically analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey's HSD test.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>ANOVA revealed that IRFPDs made of experimental SFRC CAD/CAM had the highest (p<0.05) load-bearing capacity before (2624±463 N) and after (2775±297 N) aging among all groups. Cyclic fatigue aging decreased the load-bearing capacity (p>0.05) of all tested prostheses, except for the experimental SFRC CAD/CAM and conventional laboratory composite IRFPDs (p>0.05). SEM images showed the ability of discontinuous short fibers in the experimental SFRC CAD/CAM composite to redirect and hinder crack propagation.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>CAD/CAM-fabricated IRFPDs made of experimental SFRC blocks showed promising performance in clinical testing in terms of fracture behavior.</p>...

Fatigue failure load of immature anterior teeth: influence of different fiber post-core systems
<p>The aim was to explore the fracture-behavior, survival and marginal-microgaps within the root-canal of immature anterior teeth restored with different fiber-reinforced post-core composites (FRCs). 180 bovine-incisors were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=30). One group served as control (group 6). The rest of the teeth were prepared to an internal diameter of 1.6 mm and the apex was sectioned. After application of an MTA-plug, teeth were restored with FRC materials: Group 1: Bioblock technique with short fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC); Group 2: Bioblock technique with flowable SFRC; Group 3: Individually-made FRC post; Group 4: Conventional FRC post; Group 5: dual-cure core build-up composite. After restorations were completed, teeth (n=5/group) were sectioned and then stained. Specimens were viewed under a stereo microscope and the percentage of microgaps within the root-canal was calculated. Fatigue-survival was measured using a cyclic-loading testing machine in the rest of the specimens. Flowable SFRC application in the root-canal (Group 2) did not differ from intact-teeth regarding fatigue-survival (p>0.05). The rest of the groups produced significantly lower survival (p<0.05) compared to intact-teeth. Post/core restorations made from conventional FRC post (Group 4) exhibited a high number of microgaps (38.3%) at the examined interphase in the root-canal. The restoration of immature incisors with the use of flowable SFRC as post-core material displayed promising performance in matter of fatigue-resistance and survival.<br></p>...
