Glass Fibre Helps to Restore Smiles
 
Restoring teeth to not only offer a beautiful smile but also a highly resistant one is the ultimate goal of the project undertaken by members of the Biomechanics and Ergonomy research group at the Universitat Jaume I (UJI) of Castelló, Spain. To this end, they have concluded that the ideal material for designing posts, which serve to bond the restored piece to the root, is glass fibre. Initially, metallic posts were considered to be more resistant but less aesthetic, according to Ximo Sancho, a member of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Construction at the UJI.
