Reabilitação coronária com fibra de vidro - Revisão de literatura com relato de caso clínico

Abstract

The applicability of glass fibers in composite resin restorations has been consolidated as an effective strategy to improve the resistance and durability of several rehabilitation procedures in dentistry. Objective: To develop a literature review on the use of glass fiber and composite resin in restorations of structurally compromised teeth and to report a clinical case with reinforcement and layering techniques. Methodology: this is a descriptive study, in the form of a case report, of a 63-year-old female patient diagnosed with extensive loss of coronal structure, De Black class IV. Results: Reinforcement with glass fibers contributes to the improvement of the material’s mechanical properties, minimizing the occurrence of fractures and enhancing stress distribution in strategic areas of resin restorations.
