ABSTRACT
Objectives: To evaluate cuspal deflection and fracture resistance of maxillary premolars with class II MOD cavities filled with nanohybrid resin composites lined with SDR or nano flowable resin composite.
Methods: 30 MOD cavities were prepared in extracted human upper premolar teeth. The cavities (n=10) were restored and grouped into three groups. Group I was restored with nanohybrid RBC (Esthet.x-HD), group II was restored with Esthet.x-HD/SurFil SDR flowable composite and group III was restored with Esthet.x-HD/Filtek z350 XT flowable composite. Buccal and palatal cusp deflections were recorded post irradiation using strain-gauge device. All of the specimens subjected to a compressive load in a universal Instron Testing Machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5mm⁄min until fracture was occurred.
Results: There were a high significant difference (p<0.0001) between the tested groups.
Conclusions: SDR as 4 mm bulk fill dentin replacement showed good performance as a liner under nano hybrid composite resin restorations.
