Fibre Reinforced Composite

1. The document reviews fibre reinforced composite resins, which combine fibres with resin matrices to improve mechanical properties over resin alone. 2. Fibre reinforced composites can be classified based on fibre type (glass, carbon, polyethylene), fibre architecture (mesh, unidirectional, etc.), and method of fibre incorporation. 3. They offer advantages over other materials like metals, including better strength-to-weight ratios, non-corrosiveness, translucency,...

They offer advantages over other materials like metals, including better strength-to-weight ratios, non-corrosiveness, translucency, bonding properties, and ease of repair. Fibre reinforced composites have applications in dentistry including large restorations, posts, and prosthodontics.
