Abstract:
The present study used the finite element method to model the stresses generated by a composite luting cement around a class I composite restoration and a ceramic inlay. In many cases maximum tensile stresses of greater than 20 MPa were found, and failure of the restoration-dentine and restoration-glass ionomer interfaces was predicted.
