ABSTRACT The loss of anterior tooth can be hurtful to the patient both psychologically and socially. In adolescent patients, temporary replacement of teeth can minimize these concerns. Many approaches have been described for this temporary replacement. Adhesively luted, fiber-reinforced retained fixed partial denture (FPD) can be a clinical alternative for the replacement of missing anterior tooth in selective situations. This is an innovative alternative to conventional metal, ceramic restoration. It is especially useful for patients who cannot afford high cost of FPD and cannot devote much time (number of sittings) for the treatment. The main advantage of fiber-reinforced composite fixed prosthesis is conservative cutting of tooth. Structure and chairside fabrication of the bridge using acrylic tooth are less expensive for the patients. The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the clinical usefulness of the fiber-reinforced composite FPD. This report describes the clinical treatment of patients using fiber-reinforced composite. How to cite this article Raina SA, Khode P, Warhadpande MM.

Restoration of primary incisors, which have been severely damaged by early childhood caries or trauma, is a difficult task for the pediatric dentist. With the introduction of new adhesive systems and restorative materials,alternative approaches for treating these teeth have been proposed. Materials: Ten healthy children aged between 3-4 years who had 28 grossly destructed primary maxillary incisors requiring intra canal retention were selected for the study. Following root canal treatment, either a Glass Fiber Reinforced Composite Resin (GFRCR everStick,, Finland) or an omega shaped stainless steel wire were placed as intracanal posts in these teeth. Flowable composite was used for cementation of posts and also to build up the coronal structure using celluloid strip crowns. Both types of intracanal posts were evaluated for retention and marginal adaptation at 1, 6 and 12 months. The data obtained was subjected to statistical analysis. Conclusion:GFRCR intracanal posts showed better retention and marginal adaptation than omega shaped stainless steel wire posts.

Abstract Aims The purpose of this study was to investigate the reinforcement effect of short E-glass fiber fillers on some mechanical properties of temporary crown and bridge (TCB) composite resin with a semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN). Methods and Materials Experimental temporary fiber reinforced (TFC) composite resin was prepared by mixing 15 wt% of short E-glass fibers (3 mm in length) with a 35 wt% of semi-IPN-resin (dual or chemical cure) with 50 wt% of silane treated particulate silica fillers using a high speed mixing device. Temporary crowns (n=6) and test specimens (2 × 2 × 25 mm3) (n=6) were made from the experimental TFC and conventional TCB composite (control, Protemp Garant, 3M-ESPE, St. Paul, MN, USA). A three-point bending test was done according to ISO standard 10477, and a compression loading test was carried out using a steel ball (Ø 3.0 mm) with a speed of 1.0 mm/min until fracture occurred. The degree of monomer conversion (DC%) of both composites was determined by Fourier transfer infrared (FTIR) spectrometry. Results The analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed both dual and chemical cure experimental TFC composite resins had statistically significant (p<0.05) higher flexural strengths (117 and 99 MPa, respectively) and compressive load-bearing capacity (730 and 623 N, respectively) compared to the control TCB composite resin (72 MPa, 549 N). Conclusion The use of short fiber fillers with semi-IPN polymer matrix yielded an improved mechanical performance compared to a conventional TCB composite resin.
