RÉSUMÉ
This study offers a comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy, benefits, and limitations of fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) in fixed prosthodontics. Emerging as a substitute for conventional dental materials such as metals and ceramics, FRCs are now used in a variety of applications, from dental crowns and bridges to veneers. The study is based on an exhaustive literature review and explores various properties of FRCs, such as mechanical, optical, viscoelastic, adhesive, and thermal attributes. The strength and rigidity of constructions made from FRC are dependent on the polymer matrix of the FRC and the type of fiber reinforcement. In dental appliances of relatively small sizes, the quality of the load bearing FRC sub-structure is very important. A special emphasis is placed on the clinical applications and future potential of these materials. The advantages of using FRCs include their biocompatibility, light weight, durability, and aesthetic superiority. However, there are limitations, such as higher costs and concerns about long-term clinical performance, specifically related to interface degradation. The study concludes that FRCs hold significant promise in the domain of fixed prosthodontics, although further research is needed for optimizing their long-term effectiveness.
