“…It is suggested that reinforcement at the cervical third of the pontic region (area of tension under the occlusal load) showed higher fracture toughness values. 12,13 This was not in agreement with the results obtained in this study. This can be explained because interim restoration resin, like most brittle materials, has a greater compressive than tensile strength.…”

INTRODUCTIONRehabilitation of partially edentulous patients using fixed partial denture (FPD) is a well-established treatment protocol since many decades. These FPDs require a laboratory phase of fabrication that varies from days to weeks. A dimensionally stable, strong, and accurate interim restoration is an important component of this treatment modality. These interim restorations provide pulpal protection, positional stability, occlusal function, strength, and aesthetics.Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is the most common material used to fabricate interim FPDs. This material lacks sufficient strength and hence various methods are being used for reinforcing it in the past like glass fibres, carbon fibres, kevlar fibres, polyethylene fibres, and stainless steel wire.1-4 To date, little information is available in the literature on fracture resistance of reinforced PMMA temporary crown and bridge materials. It is also not clear as to how the site of placement of fibre reinforcement, influences the fracture resistance of temporary crown and bridge materials. Therefore, this study was undertaken to evaluate the fracture resistance of interim FPDs using different types of fibre reinforcements and also to determine the most appropriate site of reinforcement of interim FPDs fabricated from PMMA. MATERIALS AND METHODThis study was designed in two stages. In the first stage various methods of reinforcement for interim FPDs made up of PMMA were evaluated. During the second stage, favourable sites of placement to strengthen the interim FPDs were evaluated. There were five groups of ten samples each namely the group 1 (unreinforced, control group), group 2 (glass fibrereinforced), group 3 (polyethylene fibre-reinforced), group 4 (glass and polyethylene mixed fibre) and group 5 (stainless steel reinforced).Samples were tested for fracture resistance in an Instron universal testing machine. The maximum load causing the initial fracture and fracture resistance were calculated. The mean and standard deviation for each group were determined. The data was analysed for differences using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) (The Tukey's standardised range test) to An evaluation of fracture resistance of interim fixed partial denture fabricated using polymethylmethacrylate and reinforced by different fibres for its optimal placement: an in vitro study Col

“…The results of this study exhibited a mean fracture strength higher that 1,700 N. Results that could position these types of prostheses as suitable and strong enough to be used in clinical applications. That suitability has been previously noted 7,[32][33][34] , where successful applications of FRC restorations in clinical dentistry was reported. In addition, various studies have shown improved aspects of FRCs such as flexural and fatigue properties, framework design, and load-bearing capacities 14,35) .…”

To evaluate the load-bearing capacities and failure mechanisms of FRC FDPs using shell-shaped acrylic denture teeth as pontics with different composite resins as filling materials. Eighty-four inlay-retained FDPs with FRC frameworks were made using shell-shaped posterior artificial teeth as pontics. Different composite resins were used as filling materials to complete the shape of the pontics. Four groups (n=21/group) were formed based on the filling material. Each group was subdivided into three subgroups and tested at 90º and 30°. Each FDP was statically loaded from the pontic until the final fracture. ANOVA revealed statistically significant differences in the load-bearing capacities according to filling material, angle and storage (p<0.01). The fracture propagated from the fiber-rich part of the pontic towards the occlusal surface of the FDP. The filling material influenced the load-bearing capacities of FRC FDPs with shell-shaped denture teeth used as pontics.

“…17 Clinical studies showed that FRC bridges can be used successfully in a period of 5 to 10 years. [18][19][20][21] Also sensitivity in the construction phase of restoration directly affects the life of the restoration. It is indicated for patients who rejecting comprehensive treatment on financial grounds and has difficulty to tolerate prolonged therapy procedures.…”

Anterior dental avulsion developed after trauma have a special importance, because besides causing lose of function or poor esthetics seen, they may also lead to psychological problems in patient life. To overcome the lack of teeth, there are many prosthetic treatment options. Fiber-assisted resin bridges are the most conservative one among these options. In this case report, prosthetic rehabilitation with fiber-reinforced composite bridge and follow-up period of a patient with post-traumatic teeth avulsion is described.
