Article Abstract
Resin-based composite molar crowns made by computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems have been proposed as an inexpensive alternative to metal-ceramic or all-ceramic crowns. However, there is a lack of scientific information regarding fatigue resistance. This study aimed to analyze the fatigue behavior of CAD/CAM resin-based composite compared with lithium disilicate glass-ceramic. One-hundred and sixty bar-shaped specimens were fabricated using resin-based composite blocks [Lava Ultimate (LU); 3M/ESPE] and lithium disilicate glass-ceramic [IPS e.max press (EMP); Ivoclar/Vivadent]. The specimens were divided into four groups: no treatment (NT); thermal cycling (TC); mechanical cycling (MC); and thermal cycling followed by mechanical cycling (TCMC). Thermal cycling was performed by alternate immersion in water baths of 5°C and 55°C for 5 × 10(4) cycles. Mechanical cycling was performed in a three-point bending test, with a maximum load of 40 N, for 1.2 × 10(6) cycles. In addition, LU and EMP molar crowns were fabricated and subjected to fatigue treatments followed by load-to-failure testing. The flexural strength of LU was not severely reduced by the fatigue treatments. The fatigue treatments did not significantly affect the fracture resistance of LU molar crowns. The results demonstrate the potential of clinical application of CAD/CAM-generated resin-based composite molar crowns in terms of fatigue resistance.

Objective: To investigate the effect of deep margin elevation (DME) on the fracture resistance and fracture patterns of various indirect resin-based composite materials.
Materials And Methods: A total of 120 extracted maxillary premolars were prepared with standardized MOD onlay cavities extending 2 mm below the cementoenamel junction. Teeth were embedded in acrylic resin and randomly allocated into 10 groups (n = 12), including two controls (positive and negative) and two experimental groups with or without DME.

To investigate the effects of nine polishing protocols on the bonding interface of three types of resin-based ceramic onlays, aiming to identify efficient and reasonable polishing procedures for each type of resin-based ceramic. Forty-six extracted molars were selected and symmetrically sectioned mesiodistally (=92). After preparing 2 mm deep box-shaped cavities on the buccal and lingual surfaces, the samples were randomly divided into four groups (23): LU group (Lava Ultimate), VE group (Vita Enamic), H group (Zirconia-Reinforced Resin-Based Ceramic), and Si group (glass ceramic).

Additive manufacturing (3D printing) using Computer-Aided Design (CAD) has emerged as a cost-effective alternative to subtractive milling in restorative dentistry, offering reduced material waste and lower production costs. This study aimed to compare the physical properties, specifically water sorption, water solubility, and surface roughness, of milled and 3D-printed hybrid resin composite materials. Standardized disk-shaped samples were fabricated using a digital workflow.

Polymerization shrinkage in resin-based composites can lead to gap formation at the tooth-restoration interface, potentially compromising the long-term success of restorations. Bulk-fill composites have been developed to reduce shrinkage stress, but their adaptation and bond strength-especially in deep cavities-remain areas of concern. This study investigated the adaptation and bond strength of a newly developed dual-cure bulk-fill composite in 4 mm deep preparations compared to light-cured and self-adhesive bulk-fill composites in six groups.
