Background Due to the enormous demand for conservative and aesthetic restorations [1], fiber-reinforced composites (FRC) have recently been advocated as an alternative to fixed metal framework prostheses. Compared to metal prostheses, FRC restorations are lighter and more esthetic [1]. In addition, the restorations can be effectively adhered to dental tissues and cause less damage to remaining teeth [2]. Although the durability of this type of prosthesis is inferior to metal frameworks, much less time and cost are associated to its placement [2]. FRC's durability has been reported differently in the related studies, so that the overall durability rate of 75-94.75 percent has been reported after three to 5 years [1, 3-5]. The use of composite materials in metal-free fixed partial dentures (FPDs) became feasible following the introduction of fiber reinforcement [6]. FRC-based FPDs have good resistance to masticatory forces [6] in addition to their low cost, improved aesthetics, reduced weight, and favorable elastic modulus [7, 8]. Prosthetics manufactured from ceramic material have superior color stability and wear resistance, exhibit marginal adhesion to tooth structure, and have the potential to damage unrestored opposing teeth [9]. FRC materials are currently used not only for crowns and inlays, but also
