The purpose of this article about the use of polyethylene fibers and resin composite to treat large carious tooth providing a high strength restoration within one appointment. Polyethylene fibers decrease the polymerisation shrinkage and increase the fracture resistance of the teeth. The polyethylene fibers, besides offering the proper strength to the mastication forces, as well reduce the risk of fractures, voids and micro-filtration.
