Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare translucency values and flexural strength of composite resin materials reinforced with two different fibers.
Materials and Methods: In this study, two direct composites (Clearfil Majesty Esthetic and Posterior) and an indirect composite (Tescera) used with a non-fiber control group and two fiber-reinforced (EverStick glass fiber and Ribbond polyethylene fiber) composite groups. Thirty specimens were obtained from the entire composites with dimensions of 25×2×2mm3. Translucency parameter values of the specimens were obtained using a spectrophotometer. The flexural strength (MPa) of the specimens was then determined by a three-point bending test at a rate of 1 mm/min until fracture occurred in the specimen using a universal tester. Data were analyzed by Two Way ANOVA and Tukey HSD multiple comparison test (α=0.05).
Results: Ribbond group showed similar translucency parameter values with the control group in all composite materials, but the EverStick group showed significantly lower than the control group (p
