The aim of this clinical trial was to compare the clinical performances of composite resin restorations with/without the polyethylene fiber to the first permanent molar teeth with extensively carious pediatric patients. A total of 75 restorations with (FC; n=38)or without (C; n=37) fiber were placed in the first permanent molar teeth. Restorations were evaluated at baseline-6-12-18 months according to the modified-USPHS criteria. Data were analyzed with Chi-Square and Cochran's Q (p\<0.05).
