Research Abstract

(1)The unidirectional glass fiber-reinforced composite had a satisfactory strength on the flexural strength as a framework of obturator on a removable partial denture for patients had a maxillary defect. (2)Utilization of the glass fiber-reinforced composite framework led to reduce the weight of obturator itself.
