Effect of fiber-reinforcement on the strength of polymer materials for provisional restorations: An in vitro study.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of three different methods of fiber reinforcement (glass fibers preimpregnated, glass fibers nonpreimpregnated, and polyethylene fibers) on the flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of poly-methyl-methacrylate resin (PMMA) and Bis-Gma materials.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 specimens of autopolymerizing PMMA resin specimens were fabricated using a stainless steel matrix with dimensions of (37.5± 2) × (3 ± 0.

Provisional restorations for optimizing esthetics in anterior maxillary implants: a case report.

Unlabelled: The use of implants for the restoration of anterior missing teeth has been established and documented during the past years. However, the use of dental implants in the anterior region is a technique-sensitive procedure. The placement of implants in an ideal position is often not possible because of the lack of sufficient bone.
