Abstract:
This article presents an understanding of the mechanical response of polymer matrix composite materials that are reinforced with fibers that have high levels of failure strain. Also discussed are the basic principles for the use of the materials and techniques to optimize the clinical success for the applications in which these fibers are used to restore and maintain form and function to the masticatory structures.
