Abstract

Besides the prevention strategies against early stage dental caries, restoration is a preferable way to prevent decayed tooth from further deterioration. This study aimed to compare the mechanical strengths of carious tooth, traditionally restored tooth, and novel conservatively restored teeth under occlusal loading. The two-dimensional (2D) finite element method (FEM) was applied to quantify and compare maximum tensile stresses thereby predicting the initiation of crack. Taking into consideration of peak tensile stresses, it was found that the conservative (minimal intervention) restorations exhibited better fracture resistance than traditional restoration.
