This case reports describe a new approach to the use of polymers in orthodontics, using a fiber reinforced composite(FRC). FRC was successfully used in a periodontal splints, fiber post for endodontic use, orthodontic retainer and space maintainers, implant prosthesis, large span bridge, management of cracked tooth, anchorage reinforcement in orthodontics. FRC has highly favorable mechanical properties, and its strength-to-weight ratios is superior to those of most alloys. FRC has potential for use in many applications in dentistry and is expected to gain increasing application and popularity in dentistry. These case reports show that FRC is a promising anchorage reinforcement material for use in orthodontic practice.

Although several techniques have been proposed to remove fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) post, no safe and efficient technique has been established. Recently, a guided endodontics technique has been introduced in cases of pulp canal obliteration. This study describes 2 cases of FRC post removal from maxillary anterior teeth using this guided endodontics technique with a dental operating microscope. Optically scanned data set from plaster cast model was superimposed with the data set of cone-beam computed tomography. By implant planning software, the path of a guide drill was selected. Based on them, a customized stent was fabricated and utilized to remove the FRC post. Employing guided endodontics, the FRC post was removed quickly and safely with minimizing the loss of the remaining tooth structure. The guided endodontics was a useful option for FRC post removal.

This paper presents an experimental study on the bending behavior of Kagome truss composite beams reinforced by fiber-reinforced composites (FRC). Two types of FRCs, i.e., high ductile FRC with a high tensile ductility and high strength FRC with high compressive strength were used; and three Kagome truss composite beams reinforced by FRCs were manufactured. In order to investigate the bending behavior of beams, bending tests were carried out. Test results showed that types of FRCs and reinforcement methods significantly influenced the bending behavior of Kagome truss composite beams.

본 연구는 고정원을 강화하는데 사용되는 fiber-reinforced composite (FRC)과 스테인리스강 와이어의 피로 한도를 치아의 생리적 동요도가 허용되는 조건에서 비교하여 FRC의 임상적 유용성을 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 스테인리스강 와이어군은 각형과 원형 와이어군으로 나누고 FRC군은 uni-directional군과 woven군, 그리고 각각의 군에 있어서 치간 부위에 레진을 코팅한 군과 코팅하지 않은 군으로 나누었다 각 군간의 피로한도를 일반적인 교정치료기간을 재현한 $5{\times}10^5cycle$의 피로한도 내에서 측정하여 비교하였다. 그 결과 스테인리스강 와이어에서는 각형 와이어가 원형 와이어보다 피로한도가 더 높았지만 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았다 (p>0.05) 치간부위를 레진으로 코팅한 FRC와 코팅하지 않은 FRC 모두 uni-directional군이 woven군보다 피로한도가 더 높게 나타났으며 (p<0.05) 그 값은 치간 부위를 레진으로 코팅한 FRC가 코팅하지 않은 FRC보다 더 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 스테인리스강 와이어와 FRC 모두 임상적으로 유용한 $5{\times}10^5cycle$의 피로한도 내에서는 파절되지 않았기 때문에 둘 다 고정원 강화를 위해 사용하여도 충분하며 또한 심미성이 요구되거나 부가적인 장치의 부착이 필요한 곳에서는 FRC를 사용하여도 충분하리라 생각된다.

A fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) fixed prosthesis is an innovative alternative to a traditional metal restoration, as it is a conservative treatment method. This case report demonstrates a detailed procedure for restoring a missing anterior tooth with an FRC. A 44-year-old woman visited our department with an avulsed tooth that had fallen out on the previous day and was completely dry. This tooth was replanted, but it failed after one year. A semi-direct technique was used to fabricate a FRC fixed partial prosthesis for its replacement. The FRC framework and the pontic were fabricated using a duplicated cast model and nanofilled composite resin. Later on, interproximal contact, tooth shape, and shade were adjusted at chairside. This technique not only enables the clinician to replace a missing tooth immediately after extraction for minimizing esthetic problems, but it also decreases both tooth reduction and cost.

Statement of problem. In dentistry, the minimally prepared inlay resin-bonded fixed partial denture (FPD) made of new ceromer / fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) was recently introduced. However, the appropriate dimensions for the long-term success and subsequent failure strength are still unknown. Purpose. The aim of this study was to investigate the most fracture-resistible thickness combination of the ceromer / FRC using a universal testing machine and an AE analyzer. Material and Methods. A metal jig considering the dimensions of premolars and molars was milled and 56-epoxy resin dies, which had a similar elastic modulus to that of dentin, were duplicated. According to manufacturer's instructions, the FRC beams with various thicknesses (2 to 4 mm) were constructed and veneered with the 1 or 2 mm-thick ceromers. The fabricated FPDs were luted with resin cement on the resin dies and stored at room temperature for 72 hours. AE (acoustic emission) sensors were attached to both ends, the specimens were subjected to a compressive load until fracture at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/min. The AE and failure loads were recorded and analyzed statistically. Results. The results showed that the failure strength of the ceromer/FRC inlay FPDs was affected by the total thickness of the connectors rather than the ceromer to FRC ratio or the depth of the pulpal wall. Fracture was initiated from the interface and propagated into the ceromer layer regardless of the change in the ceromer / FRC ratio. Conclusion. Within the limitations of this study, the failure loads showed significant differences only in the case of different connector thicknesses, and no significant differences were found between the same connector thickness groups. The application of AE analysis method in a fiber-reinforced inlay FPD can be used to evaluate the fracture behavior and to analyze the precise fracture point.

보철이나 수복 영역에서 재료 자체의 기계적 특성을 강화하기 위해 많이 사용되어 오던 fiber reinforced composite (FRC)는 최근 교정 영역까지 그 사용이 확대되고 있다 이 연구의 목적은 silica glass fiber로 강화된 FRC (FibreKor. Jeneric/pentron Inc., Wallingford, U. S.A.)를 다양한 기간 동안 물에 저장하였을 때 물 흡수가 FRC의 굽힘 특성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 함이었다. 시편은 임상에서 적응하는 원형, (직사)각형의 두 가지 형태를 기준으로 plasma arc light를 이용하여 광중합하여 제작하였다. 각형 원형 각각 5개의 시편을 실은(평균 $23^{\circ}C$)의 증류수 안에 0시간. 1시간. 1일. 1주, 15일 1개월, 3개월의 기간 동안 보관한 후 torque tester를 이용하여 굽힘 시험을 시행하였다 굽힘 강성(flexural stiffness)은 24시간 후에 원형의 경우 58%, 각형의 경우 25%로 감소했으며 3개월 후에는 각각 28%, 19%의 실험 전 상태의 강성을 나타냈다. 항복 굽힘 모멘트(yield flexural moment. $3^{\circ}$ offset)는 24시간 후에 원형의 경우 45% 각형의 경우 75%로 감소했으며 3개월 후에는 실험 전 항복 굽힘 모멘트의 29%, 60%로 각각 감소하였다 파절 굽힘 모멘트(ultimate flexural moment)는 24시간 후에 원형의 경우 30% 각형의 경우 75%로 감소했으며 3개월 후에는 실험 전 값의 25%, 37%로 각각 감소하였다 이상의 실험을 통하여 FibreKor는 물에 보관 시 초기에 굽힘 강성이 급격히 저하됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 수분에 대한 굽힘 강도 증가를 위한 연구가 향후 필요할 것이다.

Fiber-reinforced composite(FRC) was developed as a structural component for dental appliances such as prosthodontic framework. FRC provides the potential for fabrication of a metal-free, excellent esthetic prostheses. It has demonstrated success as a result of its simple fabrication, natural colour, and marginal integrity, and fracture resistance of veneering composite resin and the FRC material. Although it has lots of merits, clinical and objective data are insufficient. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture strength and the marginal fitness of fiber reinforced composite bridge in the posterior region for clinical application. Sixteen bridges of each group. $Targis/Vectris^{(R)}$, $Sculpture-Fibrekor^{(R)}$, and In-Ceram, were fabricated. All specimens were cemented with Panavia 21 to the master dies. Strength evaluation was accomplished by a universal testing machine (Instron). The marginal fitness was measured by using the stereoscope (${\times}50$). The results were as follows. : 1. The fracture strength according to the materials was significantly decreased in order In-Ceram($238.81{\pm}82$), Targis Vectris($176.25{\pm}18.93$), Sculpture-Fibrekor($120.35{\pm}20.08$) bridges. 2. FRC resin bridges were not completely fractured, while In-Ceram bridges were completely fractured in the pontic joint. 3. The marginal accuracy was significantly decreased in order Targis/Vectris ($60.71{\mu}m$), Sculpture-Fibrekor($73.10{\mu}m$) In-ceram Bridge ($83.81{\mu}m$). 4. The fitness of occlusal sites had a lower value than the marginal sites(P<0.001), and the marginal gaps of inner site of the pontic were greater than that of outer sites of the pontic. Fiber reinforced composite bridges are new, esthetic prosthesis and can be clinically used in anterior regions and short span bridges. However, caution must be exercised when extrapolating laboratory data to the clinical situation because there are no long term clinical data regarding the overall success of the FRC.
