The method of finite elements was developed at perfectly right times; growing computer
capacities, growing human skills and industry demands for ever faster and cost effective …

Introduction Recently, we reported that in mandibular molars contracted endodontic cavities
(CECs) improved fracture strength compared with traditional endodontic cavities (TECs) but …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of layering methods,
flowable composite liner and use of low shrinkage silorane-based composite on the …

OBJECTIVES: This investigation describes a rapid method for the generation of finite
element models of dental structures and restorations. METHODS: An intact mandibular …

Introduction. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of two novel curing systems (a
plasma arc light, and a 'turbo-boosted'conventional curing light) on cuspal movement and …

This study used 2-D finite element modeling to simulate cuspal flexure and stresses at the
surface and tooth-restoration interface of a restored maxillary molar using three restorative …

Objectives: The development of novel low-shrink resin-based composites (RBCs) may offer
a potential reduction in polymerisation shrinkage stresses generated at the tooth/restoration …

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to measure the cusp deflection by polymerization
shrinkage during composite restoration for mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) cavities in …

OBJECTIVES: To assess cuspal deflection and cervical enamel microleakage with and
without an intermediary flowable RBC layer for the incremental restoration of mesio-occluso …

Purpose Molar MOD (mesial‐occlusal‐distal) cavity preparation weakens relative cuspal
stiffness by up to 63%, often resulting in cuspal fracture. This investigation inspects fracture …
