Methos : A tooth number 36 without caries and loss of material was scanned using a CBCT device. The files obtained were transferred to Mimics software. Using this software, enamel tissue, dentin tissue and pulp regions were extracted separately in STL format. STL files were transferred to Geomagic Design X software for surface correction and saved in STP format. The obtained STP files were transferred to the Solidworks programme and 4 different (DO, MO, MOD, O) cavity preparations were made on the models. Each of these cavities was restored with bulk-fill composite, conventional composite and hybrid composite in the computerised environment. A layer of adhesive material with a thickness of 10, 15 and 20 micrometres was applied under all materials and stress distributions and fracture lifetimes were analysed by 3D finite element stress analysis method. Results: When we evaluated the models with different thicknesses of adhesive material, the stress values on enamel, dentin and adhesive material were highest in the models with bulk-fill composite, while the stress values on the restoration were highest in the models with hybrid composite. As the thickness of the adhesive material decreased, the stress values accumulated on the material increased. In addition, the models in which the enamel tissue started to fracture the earliest were the models restored with bulk-fill composite. The models in which the restorative materials started to fracture the earliest were the models restored with hybrid composites, while the models in which the restorative materials started to fracture the latest were the models restored with bulk-fill composites. Conclusion: When materials with low young's modulus are used for restorative purposes, they cause too much stress accumulation on enamel and dentin tissues. Accordingly, these tissues start to fracture early. When materials with large Young's modulus are used, too much stress is applied to the restoration and the restoration fractures prematurely.

BACKGROUND Dental caries is one of the most common and preventable diseases worldwide. People have been sensitive to caries throughout their lives. Without treatment, caries can cause toothache or tooth loss. [ 1 , 2 ] One of the most important properties of restorative materials, which are widely used and continuously developed in dentistry, is their resistance to masticatory forces. The physical, chemical and mechanical properties of restorative materials frequently used in dentistry greatly affect the stress distribution in dental tissues and the durability of the restorations made accordingly. A small stress accumulation in the tooth and restorative materials is a very good indicator for the materials. However, it is often not possible to achieve low stress accumulation in both dental tissues and restorative materials at the same time.[ 3 , 4 ] Careful selection of the restorative materials to be used in the restoration of teeth is essential. When restorative materials cause large amounts and inappropriate stress distribution in dental tissues; they cause the restorations to come out of the cavity and cause retention problems between the tooth and the restoration.[ 5 , 6 ] Many stress distribution analyses are performed in dentistry, but the most widely used method today is the ‘Finite Element Stress Analysis’ method. This analysis method was discovered by Hrennikoff and Courant to analyse stress distribution regions on complex models.[ 7 ] This analysis method was initially used in the field of engineering, but has been increasingly used in dentistry. Determining the stress magnitudes and regions resulting from the forces acting on living tissues is an extremely time-consuming and expensive process. For this reason, it has become very common today to carry out stress distribution analyses by modelling living tissues in computer environment with finite element stress analysis method.[ 8 ] The finite element analysis method has provided researchers with the opportunity to perform a non-invasive analysis in computer environment without the use of living tissues.[ 9 ] In addition to all these good features, this analysis method has some disadvantages such as the difficulties in transferring living tissues to the computer environment by means of programs, the possibility of human errors, the need for experienced engineers and the need for long computation times.[ 10 ] The aim of this study is to compare the stress distributions in tooth tissues and restorative materials restored with different restorative materials and their fracture life. The hypothesis of our study is that when materials with different mechanical properties are used in restoration, the stress values accumulated in dental tissues and restorative materials will change and the fracture life will differ depending on this stress accumulation. 2. METHODS A tooth number 36 with no caries and no loss of material was scanned using CBCT. The size of the imaging volume is a cylinder with a diameter and height of 40 mm at the centre of rotation of the X-ray. Images were acquired at 5 mA (milliampere, electric current value), 90 kVp (Peak kilovoltage, the highest voltage of the X-ray tube) using the parameters 160 qm and exposure time of 17.5 seconds. The obtained DICOM files were transferred to Mimics software (Mimics 12.00, Leuven, Belgium) for segmentation. Using this software, enamel tissue, dentin tissue and pulp regions were extracted separately in STL format. The STL files were transferred to Geomagic Design X software for surface correction and saved in STP format. Then, the obtained tooth model was placed in a box representing the cortical and spongiose bone using SolidWorks programme. A periodontal ligament thickness of 0.2 mm was designed in the prepared models. In the designed tooth model; different cavity designs were made in accordance with class II mesio-occlusal (MO), class II disto-occlusal (DO), class II mesio-occluso-distal (MOD) and class I occlusal (O) cavity principles. In addition, layers of adhesive material with thicknesses of 10, 15 and 20 µm were formed in these models which presented in Fig. 1 – 4 . The restorative materials used in our study were: bulk-fill composite, conventional composite, hybrid composite resin. Finally, these designs were saved in STL format for finite element analysis (FEA). In order to transfer the tooth tissues and the materials to be used to the computer environment, some mechanical values must be known. These values are shown in Table 1 . Table 1 Mechanical properties of dental tissues and restorative materials.[ 11 – 18 ] Young’s Modulus (Mpa) Poisson's Ratio Compressive Strength (MPa) Flexural Strength (MPa) Shear Strength (MPa) Fracture Toughness (Mpa m 1/2 ) Microhardness (HV) Enamel 84.1 0.33 384 11.5 60 0.8 3–6 Dentin 18.6 0.31 297 105.5 12–138 3.08 0.13–0.51 Adhesive Material 1 0.24 Pulp 0.002 0.45 PDL 0.0689 0.45 Cortical bone 13.7 0.3 Spongious bone 1.37 0.3 Bulk-fill Composite 12 0.25 169 42 Conventional Composite 16.6 0.24 294 77 Hybrid Composite 22 0.27 Finite element analysis was performed using Abaqus software (2020 Dassault Systems Simulation Corp., Johnston, RT, USA). Boundary conditions were determined by assigning appropriate material properties to each component in the Abaqus environment. Motion and rotation constraints were applied to the jawbone in all directions and the model was analysed under a vertical load of 600 Newton (N). The loads acting on the tooth surface and boundary conditions are shown in Fig. 5 . The stress values obtained as a result of the analysis were recorded as Von Mises stress values. The amount of force applied to the tooth was selected according to the average fatigue values of restored molars obtained from previous in vitro studies. The criteria for evaluating the fatigue life of the restorative material, enamel and dentin were compared with the maximum principal stress-life (S N) diagram during loading. The S-N curve represents the stress amplitude (𝜎0) as a function of the number of cycles to fracture (N). Fatigue values for the infill materials were determined by three-point bending tests as in previous studies. The fatigue behaviour of the materials was calculated using the non-linear Basquin formula as shown in the equation “ \(\:{\sigma\:}_{a}=A{\left(N\right)}^{B}\) ”. A and B values for restoration materials are shown in Table 2 . Wöhler curves for enamel and dentin are taken from the literature. These were plotted only for reverse loading (𝜎𝑚=0). All other mean stresses (𝜎𝑚≠0) are represented mathematically in the equation “ \(\:{\sigma\:}_{a}=({\sigma\:}_{f}-{\sigma\:}_{m}){\left(2N\right)}^{b}\) ”.

The models in which enamel and dentin tissue started to fracture the earliest were the models restored with bulk-fill composite. The models in which the restorative materials started to fracture the earliest were the models restored with hybrid composites, while the models in which they started to fracture the latest were the models restored with bulk-fill composites. 4. DISCUSSION In this study, our hypothesis that when materials with different mechanical properties are used in restoration, the stress values accumulated in dental tissues and restorative materials will change and the fracture life will differ depending on this stress accumulation was accepted. In dentistry, many restorative materials have been produced in order to make dental tissues strong, resistant to forces, and resistant, and the materials produced have been improved day by day. A good understanding of the biomechanics in the oral cavity and the design and construction of restorations with this in mind increase the success of restorations.[ 24 ] In 2003, Yaman et al. examined the maxillary central tooth with class V cavity using finite element stress analysis method. They used composite and compomer materials from different brands as restorative materials. As a result of this study, it was understood that the stresses in the restored tooth tissues were inversely proportional to the modulus of elasticity of the restorative materials used. In our study, when bulk-fill composite resin material, which has the lowest elastic modulus, was used as restorative material, high stress accumulation occurred in enamel and dentin tissues. When we look at the stress values accumulated on the restorative materials, similar to our study, the stress values accumulated on the restoration were the highest when the material with the highest young's modulus was used.[ 25 ] Yamanel et al. investigated the effect of restorative material differences and cavity design on the stress distribution on tooth structures and restorative materials using finite element analysis. They used nanofiller composite and 2 different full ceramic materials as restorative materials. As a result, they found that materials with low elastic modulus transferred more stress to the tooth structures, as in our study, i.e. compared to nanofiller-containing composites, the tested full ceramic inlay and onlay materials transferred less stress to the tooth structures. [ 4 ] In 2022, Gönder et al. analysed the stress distributions in teeth restored using different thicknesses of adhesive material. As a result of the study, as the thickness of the adhesive material increased, the amount of stress accumulated on the adhesive material decreased as in our study.[ 27 ] Again in 2023, Gönder et al. restored the molar tooth with different materials after designing a class II cavity. As a result, similar to our results, when the material with low young's modulus was used, the stress values accumulated in the enamel and dentin tissues were the highest and fractures in these tissues occurred earlier.[28] 5. CONCLUSIONS The important findings of this study are as follows: When materials with low Young's modulus, i.e. more flexible materials than others, the stress values accumulated on enamel and dentin tissues increased significantly and these tissues showed early fracture. When materials with large Young's modulus, i.e. more rigid materials were used, the stress values in these tissues were lower. In other words, the stress values accumulated on enamel and dentin tissues were inversely proportional to the Young's modulus of the materials used. When materials with large Young's modulus were used, fractures in restorative materials occurred earlier. As the thickness of the adhesive material increased, the stress values accumulated on the adhesive material decreased.

Restorative Materials:3D Finite Element Analysis (FEM)","fulltext":[{"header":"1. BACKGROUND","content":"\u003cp\u003eDental caries is one of the most common and preventable diseases worldwide. People have been sensitive to caries throughout their lives. Without treatment, caries can cause toothache or tooth loss. [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e] One of the most important properties of restorative materials, which are widely used and continuously developed in dentistry, is their resistance to masticatory forces. The physical, chemical and mechanical properties of restorative materials frequently used in dentistry greatly affect the stress distribution in dental tissues and the durability of the restorations made accordingly. A small stress accumulation in the tooth and restorative materials is a very good indicator for the materials. However, it is often not possible to achieve low stress accumulation in both dental tissues and restorative materials at the same time.[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCareful selection of the restorative materials to be used in the restoration of teeth is essential. When restorative materials cause large amounts and inappropriate stress distribution in dental tissues; they cause the restorations to come out of the cavity and cause retention problems between the tooth and the restoration.[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e, \u003cspan citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e] Many stress distribution analyses are performed in dentistry, but the most widely used method today is the \u0026lsquo;Finite Element Stress Analysis\u0026rsquo; method. This analysis method was discovered by Hrennikoff and Courant to analyse stress distribution regions on complex models.[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR7\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e7\u003c/span\u003e] This analysis method was initially used in the field of engineering, but has been increasingly used in dentistry. Determining the stress magnitudes and regions resulting from the forces acting on living tissues is an extremely time-consuming and expensive process. For this reason, it has become very common today to carry out stress distribution analyses by modelling living tissues in computer environment with finite element stress analysis method.[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR8\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e8\u003c/span\u003e] The finite element analysis method has provided researchers with the opportunity to perform a non-invasive analysis in computer environment without the use of living tissues.[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e] In addition to all these good features, this analysis method has some disadvantages such as the difficulties in transferring living tissues to the computer environment by means of programs, the possibility of human errors, the need for experienced engineers and the need for long computation times.[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe aim of this study is to compare the stress distributions in tooth tissues and restorative materials restored with different restorative materials and their fracture life. The hypothesis of our study is that when materials with different mechanical properties are used in restoration, the stress values accumulated in dental tissues and restorative materials will change and the fracture life will differ depending on this stress accumulation.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"header":"2.

The size of the imaging volume is a cylinder with a diameter and height of 40 mm at the centre of rotation of the X-ray. Images were acquired at 5 mA (milliampere, electric current value), 90 kVp (Peak kilovoltage, the highest voltage of the X-ray tube) using the parameters 160 qm and exposure time of 17.5 seconds.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe obtained DICOM files were transferred to Mimics software (Mimics 12.00, Leuven, Belgium) for segmentation. Using this software, enamel tissue, dentin tissue and pulp regions were extracted separately in STL format. The STL files were transferred to Geomagic Design X software for surface correction and saved in STP format.

Boundary conditions were determined by assigning appropriate material properties to each component in the Abaqus environment. Motion and rotation constraints were applied to the jawbone in all directions and the model was analysed under a vertical load of 600 Newton (N). The loads acting on the tooth surface and boundary conditions are shown in Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan refid=\"Fig5\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e.

The criteria for evaluating the fatigue life of the restorative material, enamel and dentin were compared with the maximum principal stress-life (S N) diagram during loading. The S-N curve represents the stress amplitude (\u0026#120590;0) as a function of the number of cycles to fracture (N). Fatigue values for the infill materials were determined by three-point bending tests as in previous studies. The fatigue behaviour of the materials was calculated using the non-linear Basquin formula as shown in the equation \u0026ldquo;\u003cspan class=\"InlineEquation\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"mathinline\"\u003e\\(\\:{\\sigma\\:}_{a}=A{\\left(N\\right)}^{B}\\)\u003c/span\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u0026rdquo;.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA and B values for restoration materials are shown in Table \u003cspan refid=\"Tab2\" class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e.

The model with the lowest number of cycles required for enamel fracture, i.e. the model with the fastest enamel fracture, was the model with 15 micrometre thick adhesive material. When all restorative materials were considered, the earliest fracture of dentin tissue was observed in the model in which 15 micrometre thick adhesive material was used. When bulk-fill composite and conventional composite were used, the model with 10 micrometre thick adhesive material was the model with the latest dentin tissue breakage. When the hybrid composite was used, the model in which the dentin tissue fractured at the latest was the model in which the adhesive material with a thickness of 20 micrometres was used. When bulk-fill composite and conventional composite were used, the model in which the restorative materials showed the earliest fracture was the model in which 10 micrometre thick adhesive material was used. When hybrid composite was used, the earliest fracture of the restorative material was the model in which 15 micrometre thick adhesive material was used. When bulk-fill composite and hybrid composite were used, the model in which the restorative materials fractured the latest was the model in which 20 micrometre thick adhesive material was used. When hybrid composite resin was used, the model with 15 micrometre thick adhesive material was the model with the latest fracture of the restorative material (Table \u003cspan refid=\"Tab7\"

The model with the slowest fracture of the enamel tissue, i.e. the model with the longest life span, was the model in which the adhesive material with a thickness of 20 micrometres was used. The fastest fracture of dentin tissue was the model in which 20 micrometre thick adhesive material was used. The model with 15 micrometre thick adhesive material was the model with the slowest fracture. When conventional composite and hybrid composite were used, the model in which the restorative materials fractured the latest was the model in which 15 micrometre thick adhesive material was used. The earliest fracture occurred in the model with 20 micrometre thick adhesive material. When bulk-fill composite resin was used, the model in which the restorative material fractured the latest was the model in which 20 micrometre thick adhesive material was used, while the model in

DISCUSSION","content":"\u003cp\u003eIn this study, our hypothesis that when materials with different mechanical properties are used in restoration, the stress values accumulated in dental tissues and restorative materials will change and the fracture life will differ depending on this stress accumulation was accepted.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn dentistry, many restorative materials have been produced in order to make dental tissues strong, resistant to forces, and resistant, and the materials produced have been improved day by day. A good understanding of the biomechanics in the oral cavity and the design and construction of restorations with this in mind increase the success of restorations.[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR24\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e24\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 2003, Yaman et al. examined the maxillary central tooth with class V cavity using finite element stress analysis method. They used composite and compomer materials from different brands as restorative materials. As a result of this study, it was understood that the stresses in the restored tooth tissues were inversely proportional to the modulus of elasticity of the restorative materials used. In our study, when bulk-fill composite resin material, which has the lowest elastic modulus, was used as restorative material, high stress accumulation occurred in enamel and dentin tissues. When we look at the stress values accumulated on the restorative materials, similar to our study, the stress values accumulated on the restoration were the highest when the material with the highest young's modulus was used.[\u003cspan citationid=\"CR25\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e25\u003c/span\u003e]\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eYamanel et al. investigated the effect of restorative material differences and cavity design on the stress distribution on tooth structures and restorative materials using finite element analysis. They used nanofiller composite and 2 different full ceramic materials as restorative materials. As a result, they found that materials with low elastic modulus transferred more stress to the tooth structures, as in our study, i.e. compared to nanofiller-containing composites, the tested full ceramic inlay and onlay materials transferred less stress to the tooth structures.

The files obtained were transferred to Mimics software. Using this software, enamel tissue, dentin tissue and pulp regions were extracted separately in STL format. STL files were transferred to Geomagic Design X software for surface correction and saved in STP format. The obtained STP files were transferred to the Solidworks programme and 4 different (DO, MO, MOD, O) cavity preparations were made on the models. Each of these cavities was restored with bulk-fill composite, conventional composite and hybrid composite in the computerised environment. A layer of adhesive material with a thickness of 10, 15 and 20 micrometres was applied under all materials and stress distributions and fracture lifetimes were analysed by 3D finite element stress analysis method.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResults:\u003c/strong\u003e When we evaluated the models with different thicknesses of adhesive material, the stress values on enamel, dentin and adhesive material were highest in the models with bulk-fill composite, while the stress values on the restoration were highest in the models with hybrid composite. As the thickness of the adhesive material decreased, the stress values accumulated on the material increased.
