Article Synopsis
  • This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluate whether short glass-fiber or bidirectional polyethylene fiber reinforcement in direct composite restorations enhances fracture resistance in structurally compromised teeth compared to traditional composite restorations.
  • After reviewing 1266 articles, 23 studies were included, revealing that fiber-reinforced restorations significantly increased fracture resistance, with 20 studies showing low bias risk.
  • Both fiber types were found to be equally effective, with application techniques differing; Ribbond can be applied in a single layer while EverX Posterior should be shaped to replace missing dentin.

Background: Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disease due to a genetic variation in the α-galactosidase A (GLA) gene. As a result, the activity of the α-galactosidase A (AGAL-A) enzyme is reduced or absent, which causes sphingolipid deposition within different body parts. AFD typically manifests with cardiovascular, renal, cerebrovascular, and dermatologic involvement.
