Fibers in Restorative Dentistry

Bys: Goyal, Shanya, Punia, Sandhya Kapoor, Kumar, Yogender

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the role of fibers in restorative dentistry, highlighting their evolution, classification, properties, and wide range of clinical applications of various dental fibers such as glass, polyethylene, carbon, aramid, and bioactive fibers, to their ability to enhance fracture resistance, stress distribution, durability, and aesthetics while closely mimicking the mechanical behaviour of natural dentin. Their application in restorations such as MOD cavities, post-endodontic restorations, splinting, and fiber posts demonstrates their versatility and clinical effectiveness in managing structurally compromised teeth. The biomimetic nature of fiber-reinforced materials contributes to improved longevity of restorations. Future scope lies in the development of bioactive and nanofiber-reinforced composites that promote remineralization, improve bonding, and enhance long-term clinical outcomes.
