Fiber reinforced bridges- scientific and clinical point of view

The loss of teeth in anterior and posterior region requires the rehabilitation of both aesthetics and function. Replacement of a missing tooth is always a challenge, especially when the adjacent teeth are intact. Although different options are available in these cases, like provisional removable appliance, fixed bridge or dental implants, there are also alternatives to these traditional treatments. Fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) bridges can be used as temporary or long-term solutions for replacing missing teeth in anterior and posterior region. The advantage of using fibers based on interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) technology is in obtaining a strong chemical adhesion to hard dental tissues and in a possibility to replace the missing tooth without any preparation of the adjacent teeth or with minimally invasive preparations. In the lecture, indications for placement of FRC bridges will be discussed, from scientific and clinical point of view, with presentation of clinical cases.
