Biocompatibility of a crown-bridge material is as important as its physical and mechanical properties. It is also one of the most important factors for the long-lasting clinical success of that restoration. It directly contacts the vital prepared tooth and that is the reason it has to be nontoxic to the local tissues, such as the pulp, gingiva, or the rest of the body. Materials with different physical properties are used in the conventional fixed prosthodontic restorations. Recently, metal-free systems that are reinforced with fibers have been improved for crown and bridge restorations. These new composite systems have the advantages of both ceramic and polymer chemistry.
