چکیده

Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) molding compounds with micromechanic requirements for fiber lengths longer than critical length (Lc) are now the most important breakthrough in Dentistry since the amalgam. The Lc is a measure of the minimum perfectly aligned fiber length dimension needed before maximum fiber stress transfer starts to occur within the cured resin [1-3]. Mechanical properties tested on flexural strength, yield strength, modulus, resilience, work of fracture (WOF), critical strain energy release (SIc), critical stress intensity factor (KIc) and Izod impact toughness for FRCs using pure quartz fibers have shown large statistically significant increases over the dental particulate-filled composites (PFCs) as 3M Corp. Z100® and Kerr Corp. Herculite® [4-10] and a PFC with microfibers that cannot satisfy Lc as Alert® from Jeneric Pentron [5-8,10]. In addition, FRCs have shown large statistically significant increases for all mechanical properties tested except modulus when compared to a widely used amalgam alloy Tytin® from Kerr Corp. [9,10]. Further, FRCs have shown other greatly improved properties for wear less than enamel [10,11], significantly increased condensing packability force with significant larger interproximal contacts [10,12] and ability to incorporate the antimicrobial triclosan without PFC sticky glueyness [10]. Industrially FRCs are accepted as high-performance molding compounds that can pack with control to form into intricate geometric cavities and used extensively in the electrical and automotive industries so that FRC development for Dentistry can proceed on firm dedicated principles.

Fiber- Reinforced Composite for Orthodontic Anchorage Technique

Introduction: In orthodontic treatment, adequate anchorage is necessary to move the intended teeth. In some cases, just anterior teeth are malaligned, while posterior occlusion is acceptable. Therefore, the posterior teeth could be integrated by fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) to provide a rigid anchorage. This method proved advantageous since brackets are bonded just to anter...

Effect of length and diameter of fiber reinforced composite post (FRC) on fracture resistance of remaining tooth structure

Introduction: Post and core has been considered for endodontically treated tooth, especially in cases with severe damage crowns. Recently fiber reinforced composite posts (FRC post) have been used in the treatment of endodontically treated teeth. Because the length and diameter of posts are effective in stress distribution, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of length and diame...

Inorganic Polymer Matrix Composite Strength Related to Interface Condition

Resin transfer molding of an inorganic polymer binder was successfully demonstrated in the preparation of ceramic fiber reinforced engine exhaust valves. Unfortunately, in the preliminary processing trials, the resulting composite valves were too brittle for in-engine evaluation. To address this limited toughness, the effectiveness of a modified fiber-matrix interface is investigated through th...

Effects of fibers on the color change and stability of resin composites after accelerated aging.

Composite resins were reinforced with glass and polyethylene fibers in this study, and the effect of fiber reinforcement on the color change of composite resins was investigated. After accelerated aging, the effect of fiber reinforcement on the color stability of composite resins was also examined. There were three experimental groups (n=12 disks per group): non-fiber-reinforced composite (non-...
