Fiber reinforced composite (FRC) is a promising class of material that gives clinicians alternative treatment options. There are many FRC products available in the market based on either glass or polyethylene fiber type. The aim of this study was to present a comparison between glass and polyethylene fiber reinforced composites based on available literature review.
A thorough literature search, with no limitation, was done up to June 2017. The range of relevant publications was surveyed using PubMed and Google Scholar. From the search results, articles related to our search terms were only considered. An assessment of these articles was done by two individuals in order to include only articles directly compare between glass and polyethylene FRCs. The search terms used were "fiber reinforced dental composites" and "glass and polyethylene fibers in dentistry".
The search provided 276 titles. Full-text analysis was performed for 29 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Most were laboratory-based research with various test specimen designs prepared according to ISO standard or with extracted teeth and only three articles were clinical studies. Most of studies (n=23) found superior characteristics of glass FRCs over polyethylene FRCs.
Significant reinforcement differences between commercial glass and polyethylene fiber reinforced composites were found. Fiber reinforced composite, glass fiber, polyethylene fiber.
纤维增强复合材料（FRC）是一类很有前景的材料，为临床医生提供了多种治疗选择。市场上有许多基于玻璃纤维或聚乙烯纤维类型的FRC产品。本研究的目的是基于现有文献综述，对玻璃纤维增强复合材料和聚乙烯纤维增强复合材料进行比较。
截至2017年6月，进行了全面的文献检索，无任何限制。使用PubMed和谷歌学术搜索相关出版物的范围。从搜索结果中，仅考虑与我们搜索词相关的文章。由两人对这些文章进行评估，以仅纳入直接比较玻璃纤维FRC和聚乙烯纤维FRC的文章。使用的搜索词为“纤维增强牙科复合材料”和“牙科中的玻璃纤维和聚乙烯纤维”。
搜索得到276个标题。对符合纳入标准的29篇文章进行了全文分析。大多数是基于实验室的研究，根据ISO标准制备了各种测试样本设计或使用了拔除的牙齿，只有三篇文章是临床研究。大多数研究（n = 23）发现玻璃纤维FRC比聚乙烯纤维FRC具有更优异的特性。
发现商用玻璃纤维增强复合材料和聚乙烯纤维增强复合材料之间存在显著的增强差异。纤维增强复合材料、玻璃纤维、聚乙烯纤维。
