Objectives: The aim of this study was to measure the volumetric cuspal deflection of premolars restored with different paste-like bulk-fill resin composites using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT).
Methods And Materials: A total of 35 freshly extracted human maxillary second premolars were selected for this study. Standardized large MOD cavities were prepared in each premolar with a bucco-lingual width of 4 mm and a cavity depth of 4 mm measured from the palatal cusp tip. After cavity preparation, all samples were scanned immediately using a micro-CT system. After the initial micro-CT scanning, restorative procedures were performed. Four groups received different paste-like bulk-fill composites-Beautifil-Bulk Restorative (BBR), Admira Fusion x-tra (AFX), x-tra fill, and Sonic Fill-and the control group received a conventional universal composite and Clearfil Majesty Esthetic (CME). Immediately after the restorative procedure, each tooth was scanned by micro-CT in the same manner as the initial scanning. The buccal and palatal regions of each restoration were evaluated separately in terms of cuspal deflection. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the effect of the composite resin, and multiple comparisons were performed by the Tukey test with a level of significance of = 0.05.
Results And Discussion: Multiple comparisons showed that teeth restored with the conventional paste-like composite and CME (control) had significantly different cuspal deflection from those filled with paste-like bulk-fill composites (<0.05). Among the bulk-fill composites, a significant difference was observed between BBR and AFX (<0.05).
Conclusions: Paste-like bulk-fill resin composites had significantly lower cuspal deflection than the conventional paste-like resin composite tested.

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.
