Abstract: (12 Views)
Background and Aim: Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) restoration is a relatively new method used to enhance the durability of composite restorations. This study measured the fracture resistance of unsupported enamel in composite restorations reinforced with fiber ribbon in comparison with conventional composite restorations.
Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, 30 freshly extracted sound premolars were randomly divided into three groups (n=10): (I) control group: intact teeth, (II) mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) preparation followed by restoration with Filtek P60 composite, and (III) deep MOD preparation and cusp reduction, followed by reinforcement with Interlig fiber ribbon, and subsequent restoration and cusp coverage with Filtek P60 composite. The teeth were stored in saline for one week. Next, their fracture resistance was measured by a universal testing machine. The load at fracture was recorded in Newtons (N). One-way ANOVA followed by the Tamhane post-hoc test was used to compare the groups (alpha=0.05).
Results: Fracture resistance of enamel in both experimental groups was significantly reduced compared to intact teeth (P<0.05). Fracture resistance of enamel in FRC restorations was significantly higher compared to the conventional composite restorations (P<0.05).
Conclusion: FRC restorations significantly increased the fracture resistance of unsupported enamel compared to the conventional composite restorations under in vitro settings.
