Resin-based composites remain an excellent conservative alternative for restoration of teeth with extensive caries lesions. Over time, several strategies have been proposed to improve the mechanical properties of these composites so that they can adequately withstand masticatory forces. Glass fiber-reinforced resin-based composites and their use in situations where there is great loss of tooth structure have gained popularity due to their favorable mechanical properties. Combined techniques with polyethylene fibers can further enhance their clinical performance. This study presents a brief review of their most important qualities and potential use in direct restorative procedures. In addition, a clinical case is described where a vital tooth with extensive coronal destruction was restored using polyethylene fibers embedded in glass fiber-reinforced flowable resin under resin-based composite. The reinforcement of both the remaining tooth structure and the restoration with fibers is a valid treatment option since the network structure formed by the fiber reinforcement can increase the longevity of the direct composite restorations. There are few reports in the literature describing the use of a combined technique using polyethylene fibers embedded in glass fiber-reinforced flowable resin under resin-based composite. Thus, clinical follow-up of this case is required.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2341\/22-127-s","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,28]],"date-time":"2023-08-28T03:04:08Z","timestamp":1693191848000},"page":"476-482","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Restoration of a Vital Tooth With Extensive Crown Destruction Using Glass Fiber and Polyethylene Fiber-reinforced Composite Resin: A Clinical Case"],"prefix":"10.2341","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"MA","family":"Saravia-Rojas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"*Miguel \u00c1ngel Saravia-Rojas, DDS, MSc, PhD, full professor, School of Dentistry, Cayetano Heredia University, Lima, Peru"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G","family":"Espinoza-Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Giulianna Espinoza-Jim\u00e9nez, undergraduate student, School of Dentistry, Cayetano Heredia University, Lima, Peru"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"VA","family":"Huanambal-Tiravanti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Victor Abel Huananbal-Tiravanti, DDS, MSc, full professor, School of Dentistry, Cayetano Heredia University, Lima, Peru"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Geng-Vivanco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rocio Geng-Vivanco, DDS, MSc, PhD student, Department of Dental Materials and Prosthodontics, Ribeir\u00e3o Preto School of Dentistry, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, SP, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1188","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"i1559-2863-48-5-475-b1","series-title":"Dental Materials","first-page":"87","article-title":"Longevity of posterior composite restorations: Not only a matter of materials","volume":"28","year":"2012","unstructured":"Demarco\n              FF\n            , Corr\u00eaaMB, CenciMS, MoraesRR, & OpdamNJM (2012) Longevity of posterior composite restorations: Not only a matter of materialsDental Materials28(1) 87\u2013101. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.dental.2011.09.003"},{"issue":"1","key":"i1559-2863-48-5-475-b2","series-title":"Dental Materials Journal","first-page":"95","article-title":"Physicochemical properties of discontinuous S2-glass fiber reinforced resin composite","volume":"37","year":"2018","unstructured":"Huang\n              Q\n            , QinW, GaroushiS, HeJ, LinZ, LiuF, VallittuPK, & LassilaLVJ (2018) Physicochemical properties of discontinuous S2-glass fiber reinforced resin compositeDental Materials Journal37(1) 95\u2013103. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4012\/dmj.2017-078."},{"issue":"3","key":"i1559-2863-48-5-475-b3","series-title":"Operative Dentistry","first-page":"247","article-title":"Buonocore memorial lecture: Placing dental composites -
