Consensus statement on fiber-reinforced polymers: current status, future directions, and how they can be used to enhance dental care.
The Second Scientific Fibre Reinforcement Symposium was held in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, on October 13th, 2001. The participants were invited speakers with extensive scientific and clinical backgrounds in glass fiber and polyethylene fiber research. The symposium reports focused on four areas of fiber reinforcement research: materials development, laboratory testing, clinical systems development, and clinical data. The consensus reached on the current status and future directions of this technology is reported here.
