Why it matters for dental
Restorative dentists and prosthodontists can improve repair longevity of short-fiber-reinforced composite restorations by selecting the optimal surface pretreatment, acid etch, and adhesive protocol; the in-vitro results provide evidence-based guidance on which combination yields the highest microtensile bond strength after hydrolytic aging.
Key points
- The study tested mechanical pretreatment, acid conditioning, and adhesive strategy on aged short-fiber-reinforced resin composite.
- Microtensile bond strength was measured after hydrolytic aging to simulate intra-oral degradation.
- Findings identify the combination that produced the highest repair bond values under controlled laboratory conditions.
- Clinical relevance section discusses implications for chair-side repair procedures of fiber-reinforced restorations.
