Abstract
A new type of glass fiber (GF)-reinforced bio-derived polybenzoxazine (GF/bio-derived PBz) composites suitable for dental post applications was developed. The study assessed the effects of different quantities of GF on the mechanical and thermal characteristics, thermal stability, and flame resistance of the composite samples. Additionally, the feasibility of using GF/bio-derived PBz composites for dental posts was analyzed through finite element analysis (FEA). The stress distribution in a tooth model repaired with the newly developed GF/bio-derived PBz composite posts under oblique loads was compared to models repaired with conventional glass fiber post and gold alloy post. The incorporation of GFs significantly enhanced the flexural properties, thermal stability, and flame resistance of the composite samples, while also reducing thermal expansion in a manner that closely matched that of dentin. The FEA of a tooth model repaired with a composite post derived from GF/bio-based PBz revealed a stress distribution pattern comparable to that of a tooth model repaired using a conventional glass fiber post. Considering the composite's mechanical properties, thermal stability, flame resistance, and its suitability for dental fiber posts as demonstrated by the FEA, the GF/bio-derived PBz holds significant promise for use in dental fiber post applications.
