Abstract
The service life of defect direct or indirect restorations could be prolonged by repair or relayering actions where durable adhesion of resin-based composite materials is essential for longevity of the repairs. Advances in adhesive technologies have introduced several surface conditioning concepts to adhere resin composites onto different restorative materials. Repaired interfaces between amalgam or metal-ceramic and the repair resin could further be reinforced using fiber-reinforced resin composites (FRCs). This chapter reviews the reasons for failure of some dental restorations and offers possible practical solutions for their repair using FRC materials in conjunction with surface conditioning methods.
