“…This failure type is attributed to an insufficient support at the pontic area that could be solved by using a bundle of fibers oriented perpendicularly towards longitudinal fibers 33) . Therefore, it is recommended to apply more than one fiber bundle in the framework and to use an additional reinforcement at the pontic area 32) . In this study, the most common fracture type observed was a cohesive fracture that included the filling composite without fiber exposure, in other words delamination of the veneering composite.…”

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.

“…Although, there is limited information on the longevity and clinical behavior of FRC FDPs, available clinical studies showed that FRC FDPs are able to function acceptable with reported five year-survival rates ranging between 73% (Göhring and Roos, 2005) and 78% (van Heumen et al, 2010).…”

The load-bearing capacity and failure types of indirect inlay-retained fixed dental prostheses (FDP), made of particulate filler composite (PFC) (Estenia) alone or reinforced with E-glass fibers impregnated with various monomers were evaluated. Indirect inlay-retained FDPs were made between first premolars and first molars (N=30, 10/per group). The inlay parts of the specimens were silica coated and silanized and the specimens were cemented with dual-polymerized resin cement under ultrasonic vibrations. The experimental groups were as follows: Group 1: FRC1 (BR-100, UTMA) + PFC; Group 2: FRC2 (everStick CB, Bis-GMA/PMMA) + PFC; Group 3: PFC only. The specimens were kept in distilled water at 37°C for one month and then subjected to fracture strength test. No significant difference was found between the Group 1 and Group 2 FDPs (1357±301 N and 1213±316 N, respectively) (p>0.05) (ANOVA). Group 3 (856±299 N) showed significantly lower results than those of FRC reinforced groups (p<0.05). Failure analyses revealed no debonding of any of the FDPs from the inlay cavities. FDPs made of PFC only showed mainly catastrophic fracture of the pontic. In the FRC reinforced groups, predominantly delamination of the veneering was observed. The use of silica coating and silanization in combination with the dual-polymerized resin cement used; under ultrasonic cementation procedure provided sufficient adhesion to withstand static loading forces at the cementation interface, since the failures were predominantly delamination of the veneering in the FRC reinforced groups. alone or reinforced with E-glass fibers impregnated with various monomers were evaluated. In the FRC reinforced groups, predominantly delamination of the veneering was observed. Materials and Methods Conclusions:The load-bearing capacity of the indirect inlay-retained FPDs made of PFC reinforced with both BR-100 and everStick C&B revealed statistically similar results that were significantly higher than PFC alone. The use of silica coating and silanization in combination with the dual-polymerized resin cement used; under ultrasonic cementation procedure provides sufficient adhesion to withstand static loading forces at the cementation interface, since the failures were predominantly 3 delamination of the veneering in the FRC reinforced groups.

“…When single studies were evaluated, similar failure types were observed in a multicenter study at 5 years with success rate of 71.2% and survival rate of 77.5% where the restoration types showed heterogeneity of inlay, hybrid and surface-retained posterior FPDs, where the latter showed more debonding. 31 As for anterior surface-retained FRC FDPs, again in a multicenter study where more operators were involved, at 5 years, The rapid development and relatively short clinical history of the current resin-bonded FRC FDP technique have given rise to concerns on the through evaluation of this procedure. However, situations where implant prognosis is questionable, young patients due to biological price of the dental tissues or patients with economical limitations could be offered such an alternative which was also reported to increase oral health related quality of life.…”

OBJECTIVES This prospective clinical study evaluated the performance of indirect, anterior, surface-retained, fibre-reinforced-composite restorations (ISFRCR). METHODS Between June-2003 and January-2011, a total of 134 patients (83 females, 51 males, 16-68 years old) received 175 ISFRCRs (local ethical registration number: 14/9/4). All restorations were made indirectly on a plaster model using unidirectional E-glass fibres (everStick CB, StickTech) in combination with a laboratory resin composite (Dialogue, Schütz Dental) and cemented according to the instructions of 4 resin cements [(RelyX ARC, 3M-ESPE, n=61), Bifix DC, VOCO, n=45), Variolink II (Ivoclar Vivadent, n=32) and Multilink (Ivoclar Vivadent, n=37)]. After baseline recordings, patients were followed at 6 months and thereafter annually up to 7.5 years. The evaluation protocol involved technical (chipping, debonding or fracture of tooth/restoration) and biological failures (caries). RESULTS Mean observation period was 58 months. Altogether, 13 failures were observed [survival rate: 97.7%] (Kaplan-Meier). One catastrophic fracture [(cement: RelyX ARC), eight partial debonding (cement: Bifix DC (5), Multilink (1), RelyX ARC (1), Variolink II (1)] and four delaminations of veneering composite [(cement: Bifix DC (2), RelyX ARC (1), Multilink (1)] were observed. Except one replacement, all defective restorations were repaired or recemented. Annual failure rate of ISFRCRs was 1.73%. The survival rates with the four resin cements did not show significant differences (RelyX ARC: 98.3%; Bifix DC: 93.5%; Variolink 2: 100%; Multilink: 100%) (p=0.114). Secondary caries did not occur in any of the teeth. CONCLUSION The 3-unit anterior indirect surface-retained resin-bonded FRC FDPs showed similar clinical survival rate when cemented with the resin cements tested. Experienced failures in general were due to debonding of the restoration or delamination of the veneering composite. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE 3-unit surface retained resinbonded FRC FDPs could be considered minimal invasive and cost-effective alternatives to conventional tooth-or implant-borne FDPs. Failures were mainly repairable in the form of chipping or debonding depending on the resin cement type. Variolink 2: 100%; Multilink: 100%) (p=0.114). Secondary caries did not occur in any of the teeth. Conclusion:The 3-unit anterior indirect surface-retained resin-bonded FRC FDPs showed similar clinical survival rate when cemented with the resin cements tested. Experienced failures in general were due to debonding of the restoration or delamination of the veneering composite.Clinical Trial Registration Number: NCT02343796.
