A newly-recommended method for restoring large cavities is the biomimetic approach of using short fiber-reinforced composite (SFRC) as dentine-replacing material. The aim of the current review was to present an overview of SFRC and to give the clinician a detailed understanding of this new material and treatment strategy based on available-literature review. A thorough literature search was done up to December 2017. The range of relevant publications was surveyed using PubMed and Google Scholar. From the search results, articles related to our search terms were only considered. The search terms used were "short fiber-reinforced composite", "everX posterior", and "fiber-reinforced composite restorations". Of the assessed articles selected (N = 70), most were laboratory-based research with various test specimen designs prepared according to the ISO standard or with extracted teeth; only four articles were clinical reports. A common finding was that by combining the SFRC as a bulk base with conventional composite, the load-bearing capacity and failure mode of the material combination were improved, as compared to plain conventional composite restoration. In the reviewed studies, the biomimetic restoration technique of using SFRC showed promising characteristics, and therefore, might be recommended as an alternative treatment option for large cavities.

A comparative evaluation of commercially available short fiber-reinforced composites.
BMC Oral Health
December 2024
Department of Biomaterials Science and Turku Clinical Biomaterial Center -TCBC, Institute of Dentistry, University of Turku, Turku, Finland.
Background: Short fiber-reinforced composites (SFRCs) are restorative materials for large cavities claimed to effectively resist crack propagation. This study aimed to compare the mechanical properties and physical characteristics of five commercially available SFRCS (Alert, Fibrafill Flow, Fibrafill Dentin, everX Flow, and everX Posterior) against a conventional particulate-filled composite (PFC, Essentia Universal).
Methods: The following characteristics were evaluated in accordance with ISO standards: flexural strength and modulus and fracture toughness.

Objective: To present the clinical result of spinal fixation system made entirely of Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced (CFR)-Hybrid Polyaryl-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK).
Summary Of Background Data: Fusion surgery has been used to treat chronic low back pain caused by degenerative disk disease (DDD). The traditional pedicle screw system made of titanium, though biocompatible, can lead to complications, such as stress shielding and implant failure.
Influence of Raster Orientation and Feeding Rate on the Mechanical Properties of Short Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polyamide Printed by Fused-Filament Fabrication.

Article Synopsis
- Fused-filament fabrication (FFF) is an affordable and easy-to-use additive manufacturing method with numerous materials, but it involves many overlooked process variables.
- This study focuses on less-studied variables like raster orientation angles and feeding rates to evaluate their effects on the mechanical properties of short carbon fiber-reinforced polyamide made by FFF.
- The results showed that a combination of stacking layers at 0°/90° and +30°/-30° provides optimal tensile and flexural strengths, while increasing the flow rate did not enhance part density or mechanical properties.
Analysis of jute-glass fiber reinforced epoxy hybrid composite.

December 2024
Department of Mechanical Engineering, Khulna University of Engineering & Technology, Khulna 9203, Bangladesh.
This study investigated a composite material combining epoxy with hybrid jute (J) and glass (G) fibers. A straightforward and effective fabrication method was employed, utilizing five layers with various reinforcement materials. To identify the optimal combination, a comprehensive series of tests were conducted using a range of characterization instruments, including Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Universal Testing Machine (UTM), pendulum impact tester, density measurement, specific gravity evaluation, water absorption, and swelling thickness tests.

Objectives: This study aimed to examine the impact of the strength and color change of composite materials that could be utilized in the repair of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) veneer fractures.
Methods: The 220 nanoceramic-filled PEEK specimens used in the study were divided into four groups, and color measurements were made on a gray background (n=55): Group N, 1-mm-thick monochromatic composite; Group NN, 2-mm-thick monochromatic composite; Group F, 1-mm-thick 2-mm-diameter short fiber-reinforced composite, placed in the center and polymerized; and Group FF, 2-mm-thick 2-mm-diameter short fiber-reinforced composite, placed in the center and polymerized. The remaining mating surfaces were restored by filling with monochromatic composite and adhesion strength testing by re-measuring the color.
