Clinical performance of polyethylenefiber reinforced resin composite restorations in endodontically treated teeth: (a randomized controlled clinical trial).

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of polyethylene fiber reinforced resin composite fillings compared to bulk fill resin composite fillings in endodontically treated teeth over a two-year monitoring period.

Method

A total of 240 individuals with endodontically treated lower molars and a moderate amount of tooth structure were divided into two equal groups of 120 each. One group received polyethylene fiber reinforced bulk fill resin composite restorations while the other group received only bulk fill resin composite restorations, both applied as per manufacturer guidelines. Two proficient experienced blinded assessors assessed the restorations using modified USPHS criteria at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 months.
