Purpose: This in vitro study tested tensile bond strength to enamel and dentin and the flexural modulus of three resin cements. It also determined the influence of these properties on the fracture resistance of teeth restored with ceramic inlays.

Materials And Methods: Initially, 10 standard ceramic discs were bonded to enamel using the following resin cements: Enforce (E), RelyX ARC (RX) and Fill Magic Dual Cement (FM).

Statement Of Problem: Cavity preparations have routinely been associated with decreased fracture strength of restored teeth.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of endodontic treatment and thermal cycling on the fracture resistance of teeth restored with ceramic or composite resin inlay restorations.

Material And Methods: One hundred sound, maxillary premolars were selected.

This study compared microleakage between indirect composite inlays and direct composite restorations. Forty-eight standard inlay MOD cavities, with cervical margins located either in enamel or dentin, were prepared in extracted human third molars. The specimens were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=16).

This in vitro study evaluated the fracture resistance of teeth restored with different designs of partial ceramic restorations using two diameters of steel ball to apply fracture stresses. One hundred and twenty sound maxillary premolars were randomly divided into three groups of 40 elements; each group was submitted to one of three indirect restoration designs: inlay, onlay with only lingual cuspal coverage and onlay with buccal and palatal cuspal coverage. Another 20 intact teeth were randomly assigned as control groups.
