A Review on Fibre Reinforced Composite Resins
Journal Title: IP Annals of Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Composite resins has revolutionized our field of dentistry and composites have now become the material of choice. The use of adhesive material to reinforce weakened teeth, and undermined enamel was first given by Denehy and Torney in 1976.1 There was the stress development within the tooth structure, due to polymerization shrinkage and mastication. Fibre reinforced composite promise to overcome these problems. The first attempt to use fibre reinforcement in clinical dentistry began more than 55 years ago. In the 1960's and 1970's, investigators sought to reinforce standard polymethyl methacrylate dentures with glass or carbon fibres.2,3 In 1980's, similar attempts were repeated,4,5 and initial efforts were made to fabricate fibre-reinforced prosthodontic frameworks for implants, fixed prosthodontic restorations, orthodontic retainers, splints, fibre posts and reinforcement of fibres for post endodontic restorations.6,7
