Description
Summary:To analyze the influence of cavity design preparation on stress values in three-dimensional (3D) solid model of maxillary premolar restored with resin composite. 3D solid model of maxillary second premolar was designed using computed-tomography (CT) data. Based on a factorial experiment, 9 different mesio-occlusal-distal (MOD) cavity designs were simulated, with three cavity wall thicknesses (1.5 mm, 2.25 mm, 3.0 mm), and three cusp reduction procedures (without cusp reduction, 2.0 mm palatal cusp reduction, 2.0 mm palatal and buccal cusp reduction). All MOD cavities were simulated with direct resin composite restoration (Gradia Direct Posterior, GC, Japan). Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to calculate von Mises stress values. The von Mises stresses in enamel, dentin, and resin composite were 79.3-233.6 MPa, 26.0-32.9 MPa, and 180.2-252.2 MPa, respectively. Considering the influence of cavity design parameters, cuspal reduction (92.97%) and cavity wall thickness (3.06%) significantly (P
