Efficacy of Glass Fiber Composite Restoration: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Fibers can be used as restorative materials during post-endodontic treatment to avoid tooth fractures. Fibers can modify the stress by initiating a Monoblock effect that aids to dispel the stress along the tooth’s long axis. Fibers can also prevent the formation of cracks due to the dispersal of stress to the fibers from the polymer matrix. Glass fiber-reinforced composite is one of the materials that can be used in dentistry for restoration. It is known that enclosing glass fibers into a
