Dimensional stability of short fibre reinforced flowable dental composites

Abstract Fibre-reinforced dental composites are proven to have superior mechanical properties in comparison with micro/nano/hybrid filled composites. However, the addition of small quantities of short glass fibres could affect the dimensional stability of the restoration both during initial stages a...
