Abstract

Objectives: Evaluate the effect of testing system compliance on polymerization stress and stress distribution of composites. Methods: Composites tested were Filtek Z250 (FZ), Herculite (HL), Tetric Ceram (TC), Helio Fill-AP (HF) and Heliomolar (HM). Stress was determined in 1-mm thick specimens, inserted between two rods of either poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, or glass. Experimental nominal stress (σ_exp) was calculated by dividing the maximum force recorded 5 min after photoactivation by the cross-sectional area of the rod. Composites' elastic modulus (E) was obtained by three-point bending. Data were submitted to one-way ANOVA/Tukey's test (α = 0.05). Stress distribution on longitudinal (σ_y) and transverse (σ_x) axes of models representing the composites with the highest and lowest E (FZ and HM, respectively) were evaluated by finite element analysis (FEA). Results: σ_exp ranged from 5.5 to 8.8 MPa in glass and from 2.6 to 3.4 MPa in PMMA. Composite ranking was not identical in both substrates, since FZ showed σ_exp statistically higher than HM in glass, while in PMMA FZ showed values similar to the other composites. A strong correlation was found between stress reduction (%) from glass to PMMA and composite's E (r² = 0.946). FEA revealed that system compliance was influenced by the composite (FZ led to higher compliance than HM). σ_x distribution was similar in both substrates, while σ_y distribution showed larger areas of compressive stresses in specimens built on PMMA. Significance: σ_exp determined in PMMA was 53-68% lower than in glass. Composite ranking varied slightly due to differences in substrates' longitudinal and transverse deformation.
