Okay so completely forgot I had this blog going but did notice some notifications that people are viewing it and even commenting. Although I am highly suspicious that these are bots it is a good reminder for me to keep posting as my dental journey after all is an ongoing one. One treatment modality I have been able to use a few times is that of fibre reinforced composites.

I find it useful to imagine that the fibres will act as stress breakers and will strengthen the overall composite likely similar to metal scaffolding in concrete. They are useful even in normal composite resin restorations as I can imagine that placing a net of fibres between increments will strenghten the restoration. There are composites a...
