In the permanent dentition the use of glass-fibers ribbon and composite materials are frequently used for restoring missing teeth with no or minimal preparation. The purpose of this study was to examine the possibility to use the glass-fibers ribbon (ever-Stick from GC Corporation, Japan) together with esthetic composite materials (G-aenial A1 from GC Corporation, Japan) for restoring anterior primary teeth and to determine the best methodology and bonding system to be used. The effect of etching time was analyzed using 20-80 sec on primary buccal enamel with SEM and the results showed that at least 60 second is necessary in order to remove the prismless layer and to affect the prismatic layer similar (as observed by SEM) to the 20 sec etching time on permanent enamel. Three bonding systems (SE Bond by Kurary, Japan, Scotchbond Universal by 3M/ESPE, Germany and G-aenial bond by GC Company, Japan) were compared for bonding the glass-fibers ribbon to the primary enamel and microtensile strength analyses were performed. Mean tensile strength ranged from 10.9 to 13 MPa with no statistically significant differences between all three systems. Based on the laboratory results it can be concluded that the glass-fibers ribbon together with the composite material can be used clinically to restore missing primary teeth for esthetic and functional reasons. Two clinical cases are presented that show favorable results. 12 12 2014 220 228 TODENTJ-8-220 1 10.2174/crossmark_policy opendentistryjournal.com benthamopen.com true Peer Reviewed Single blind Checked with iThenticate 2014-9-17 2014-10-24 2014-10-29 2014-12-12 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 10.2174/1874613601408010050 1553505579 https://opendentistryjournal.com/VOLUME/8/PAGE/220/ https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-220/TODENTJ-8-220.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-220/TODENTJ-8-220.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-220/TODENTJ-8-220.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-220/TODENTJ-8-220.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-220/TODENTJ-8-220.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-220/TODENTJ-8-220.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-220/TODENTJ-8-220.pdf https://opendentistryjournal.com/contents/volumes/V8/TODENTJ-8-220/TODENTJ-8-220.xml Am J Orthod.
