ABSTRACT Nonforce-imparting or passive dental components and appliances are provided possessing not only greater stiffness and strength but also generally higher mechanical properties than those exhibited by the commonly used dental polymers. They also are more esthetic and easier to process, form and adjust than dental metallic alloys, thereby allowing for superior and unique designs. The passive dental appliances or structural components are fabricated from an effective fiber reinforced composite material comprised essentially of a polymeric matrix and a fiber component embedded within the matrix. "The fiber component of the composite material constitute greater than 20 percent by weight of the composite material and the modulus of elasticity of the composite is greater than 0.5 x 106 psi. The passive components are produced by initially compounding an effective fiber-reinforced composite material having the requisite stiffness and strength characteristics, fiber orientation and void free wetting of the fibers and thereafter forming the composite into the dental device to achieve improved aesthetics coupled with ease of processing and structural stability.
