Abstract
Recent advancements in biomimetic dentistry have introduced innovative materials designed to better simulate natural dentin. One such material is Ribbond®, long polyethylene fiber. It is particularly effective in absorbing and redistributing masticatory forces in teeth with substantial dentin loss. This review aims to analyze the literature on the biomimetic restorative technique using long polyethylene fiber and assess its benefits and indications relative to traditional cusp coverage restorations.
Methods: A search was conducted in the PubMed database until March 2024. The authors selected in vitro studies that studied long polyethylene fiber as a dentin reinforcement.
Results: From 247 potentially relevant articles, eighteen studies were included in the review. A detailed analysis of the reviewed literature was summarized into three principal sections involving the use of long polyethylene fiber in restorative dentistry.
Conclusions: Long polyethylene fibers improve fracture resistance and promote favorable fracture modes, helping to mitigate the shrinkage forces in composite restorations. However, their clinical significance over traditional cusp coverage is unclear.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Functional Biomaterials (JFB, ISSN 2079-4983) is an international and interdisciplinary scientific journal that publishes regular research papers (articles), reviews and short communications about applications of materials for biomedical use. JFB covers subjects from chemistry, pharmacy, biology, physics over to engineering. The journal focuses on the preparation, performance and use of functional biomaterials in biomedical devices and their behaviour in physiological environments. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Several topical special issues will be published. Scope: adhesion, adsorption, biocompatibility, biohybrid materials, bio-inert materials, biomaterials, biomedical devices, biomimetic materials, bone repair, cardiovascular devices, ceramics, composite materials, dental implants, dental materials, drug delivery systems, functional biopolymers, glasses, hyper branched polymers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), nanomedicine, nanoparticles, nanotechnology, natural materials, self-assembly smart materials, stimuli responsive materials, surface modification, tissue devices, tissue engineering, tissue-derived materials, urological devices.
