ABSTRACT
Fiberglass has been used in dentistry for years, due to the development of fiberglass tapes, which were especially suitable for prosthetic treatments made with composites providing greater hardness (Ganesh M. & S. Tandon 2006). However, the difficulty of handling fiberglass tapes did not popularizetheir use. With the development of composite-reinforced glass fiber (FRC) and the improvement of adhesive techniques that allow minimally invasive treatments (Bagis B. et al., 2010), the indications of these materials have increased, making them particularly suitable for conducting composite bridges (Gollner P. et al., 2009, Tayab T. et al., 2010) providing greater resistance to fracture. However, the increase of minimally-invasive treatments based on adhesive restorative techniques has significantly fostered the utilization of these materials, making them suitable for very different clinical treatments such as prosthetics, periodontics, orthodontics, trauma, restorative dentistry, endodontics, etc.
