    Area of Science:

    • Dental Materials Science
    • Biomaterials Engineering
    • Restorative Dentistry

    Background:

    • Targis/Vectris and Sculpture/FibreKor systems offer translucent, reinforced resin frameworks for dental restorations like crowns and bridges.
    • These materials provide esthetics comparable to glass-ceramics and acceptable clinical fit.
    • Successful restoration depends heavily on meticulous bonding procedures to the tooth structure.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the properties and clinical considerations of Targis/Vectris and Sculpture/FibreKor reinforced resin systems.
    • To outline recommended cementation protocols for these advanced dental materials.
    • To highlight potential health risks and handling precautions associated with glass fibers.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of material properties, including translucency, fit, and esthetics.
    • Description of recommended cementation procedures involving silane treatment, bonding agents, and composite resin.
    • Discussion of polishing techniques and safety measures for handling glass fibers.

    Main Results:

    • The resin systems offer esthetic and well-fitting alternatives to traditional materials.
    • Specific cementation protocols are necessary due to the unique nature of fiber-reinforced resins.
    • Glass fibers pose inhalation and skin irritation risks, requiring protective measures (masks, gloves).
    • Intraoral fiber exposure can cause gingival inflammation and plaque accumulation, necessitating resin coverage or replacement.

    Conclusions:

    • Fiber-reinforced resin systems present promising options for minimizing tooth reduction and preserving tooth structure.
    • Long-term clinical data are needed to fully assess wear resistance, color stability, and other performance factors.
    • These materials are suitable for various restorations and show potential for long-term temporization in complex cases.
    • Alternative materials like belleGlass/Connect, Ribbond, and GlasSpan, using polyethylene fibers, are better suited for splinting and provisional applications.
