In dentistry, it is very important to restore missing teeth. Nowadays, we have many options depending on the development of materials and techniques. Crown restorations, removable partial dentures, resin-bonded bridges, and implant treatments are the treatment options for the replacement of missing teeth. The use of adhesive bridges has increased with the development of adhesive techniques. The use of fiber-reinforced composites in fixed partial dentures has increased since the 1990s. Nowadays, it has become a highly preferred material due to its good aesthetic and mechanical properties and its ability to be applied without preparation. Fiber-reinforced composite restorations can be used as temporary or permanent fixed prostheses after tooth extraction or implant placement, in cases of unclear prognosis of abutment teeth, in patients with growing jaw development, or with metal allergies. Fiber-reinforced composite restorations can be applied either directly in the mouth or indirectly in the laboratory. In this review, it is aimed to explain fiber-reinforced adhesive bridge options and application methods.
