Objectives: To evaluate the influence of resin cements on cuspal deflection, fracture load and failure mode of endodontically-treated teeth restored with composite resin inlays.
Materials And Methods: Forty maxillary premolars were randomly divided into four groups: G1 (sound teeth, control), G2 (RelyX ARC), G3 (RelyX Unicem) and G4 (Maxcem Elite). The teeth from groups 2, 3 and 4 received mesial-occlusal-distal preparations and endodontic treatments. Impressions were taken with vinyl polysiloxane and poured using type IV die stone. Inlays with Z250 composite resin were built over each cast and luted with the resin cements. A 200-N load was applied on the occlusal surface and the cuspal deflection was measured using a micrometer. The specimens were then subjected to an axial load until failure occurred. The resulting failure mode was analyzed.
Results: The means for cuspal deflection (μm) and fracture load (N) followed by the same letter represent no statistically significant difference based on ANOVA and Tukey's test (p < 0.05). Cuspal deflection: G1 = 4.7 (± 1.7)(a), G2 = 12.0 (± 8.9)(a), G3 = 39.0 (± 27.0)(b) and G4 = 56.8 (± 18.2)(b). Fracture load: G1 = 1982 (± 893)(a), G2 = 690.9 (± 225.5)(b), G3 = 679 (± 193.6)(b) and G4 = 465.5 (± 121.6)(b). G1 presented cusp fractures only at the cement-enamel junction (CEJ). There was a high frequency of cusp fractures below the CEJ in G2, G3 and G4.
Conclusions: Composite resin inlays luted with resin cements do not recover the strength of sound teeth. However, teeth restored with composite resin inlays and luted with RelyX ARC can withstand mechanical fatigue longer before failure occurs than those luted with RelyX Unicem and Maxcem Elite.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different light curing modes on the polymerization shrinkage of a bulk-fill composite and to evaluate the impact of two layering techniques on the cuspal deflection.
Methods: Nine different light curing modes were tested on bulk-fill composite samples in aluminum MOD cavities. Intensity, duration, and illumination distance were the factors that changed during the different curing modes.

Polymerisation shrinkage of composite resins is a clinical challenge which has been well documented in the literature. Many studies investigating polymerisation shrinkage stress measure cuspal deflection, which is a manifestation of this stress. The introduction of flowable bulk-fill composite (BFRBC) materials has streamlined the restorative process, though the shrinkage and cuspal deflection from these BFRBCs has not been compared with regards to its use with polyethylene fibers (Ribbond fibers).

This study investigated the effect of different intermediary layer materials under class II mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) resin composite restorations on volumetric cuspal deflection, gap formation, and fracture strength. In total, 32 sound human maxillary premolars were used. After large, standardized Class II MOD cavities were prepared, a universal adhesive (Clearfil Universal Bond Quick, Kuraray) was applied.

In this study, a novel method for simulating human teeth was developed, with which the effect of radiant emittance of an LED curing light on the cuspal deflection was investigated. A mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavity was replicated using a heat-pressed ceramic and lost wax technique, and the cuspal compliance and cuspal deflection of the replicated ceramic teeth and extracted human teeth were evaluated. The replicated ceramic teeth were restored using a nano bulk-fill composite and photopolymerized using three different protocols.

Aim: The aim was to evaluate the effect of bulk-fill composites - Activa and Smart Dentin Replacement (SDR) on cuspal deflection in endodontically treated teeth with different access cavity designs.
Materials And Methods: Forty-two maxillary first premolar teeth were randomly divided into three experimental groups based on different access designs as Group I - conservative endodontic cavities (CECs), Group II - traditional endodontic cavities, and Group III - CECs with diverging walls and two subgroups, based on the different access cavity restorations subgroup A-Activa and subgroup B-SDR with = 7 per group. Root canal treatment was completed under the dental operating microscope.
