Aim: To evaluated the effects of glass fibre layering on the flexural strength of hybrid and microfill composites. Methodology: A stainless steel mold of dimension (25x2x2 mm) was used to fabricate a total of 90 speimens of corresponding dimensions according to the groups-control and experimental groups. A 3-point bending test was carried out to assess the flexural strength. Load was applied on the specimens by using a universal testing machine, at crosshead speed of 1 mm/min. The fracture load was recorded in kilo Newton which then converted to mega Pascal.
