Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to apply a finite deformation, elastic/viscoplastic approach to predict curing stresses in three light-cured dental composites, using Perzyna's theory. Time-dependent constitutive parameters were obtained from mercury dilatometry, dynamic mechanical analysis and constrained shrinkage stress testing. The numerical approach was verified by using the results of an experiment on a simple aluminum tooth model of a cavity preparation that was bulk-filled with light-cured dental composite restorative materials. The numerically predicted strain patterns were similar to those seen experimentally for the three different dental composites.
