STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Restorative dentistry searches for nonmetal reinforcement of esthetic fixed partial dentures (FPDs).
PURPOSE
This clinical study evaluated conservative fiber-reinforced composite FPDs bonded to inlay abutments.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Twenty fiber-reinforced composite inlay FPDs were made for 15 patients. Restorations were manufactured with the Targis Vectris glass-fiber-reinforced composite system and a simplified laboratory technique. The 20 bonded inlay FPDs were examined clinically and by SEM after 1 year.
RESULTS
All 20 FPDs were intact at the 1-year examination. There were no signs of fracture, surface defects, or excessive wear with SEM. SEM marginal analysis exhibited 91.6% +/- 5% excellent margins at the tooth-luting composite interface and 86. 1% +/- 8% excellent margins at luting composite/restoration interface.
CONCLUSION
On the basis of the results of this descriptive study, bonded glass-fiber-reinforced composite inlay FPDs were considered clinically successful at the 1-year examination.
