Composite restorations are widely used worldwide, but the polymerization shrinkage is their
main disadvantage that may lead to clinical failures and adverse consequences. This review …

Purpose Nonlinear finite element contact analysis is used to mathematically estimate stress
and strain in a time-and status-dependent mechanical model. However, the benefits and …

Objectives To study the influence of resin based and lithium disilicate materials on the stress
and strain distributions in adhesive class II mesio-occlusal-distal (MOD) restorations using …

Objective This study evaluated the effect of different restorative techniques for non-carious
cervical lesions (NCCL) on polymerization shrinkage stress of resins using three …

Objectives To investigate the influence of different resin composite and glass ionomer
cement material combinations in a “bi-layer” versus a “single-layer” adhesive technique for …

Objective The configuration factor (C-factor) is an index used to evaluate the relationship
between cavity configuration and the development of polymerization shrinkage stress in …

Objectives To investigate the shrinkage-induced damage at the composite-tooth interface by
finite element analysis (FEA) using the cohesive zone model (CZM). Methods Axisymmetric …

Objective The present study aimed at a better understanding of the internal shrinkage
patterns within different cavity sizes. Methods Ten cylindrical cavities in two sizes were filled …
