Cuspal flexure of composite-restored typodont teeth and correlation with polymerization shrinkage values

The relationship between post-gel shrinkage, total shrinkage, and cuspal flexure was examined. Cuspal flexure was measured on restored typodont teeth, which offered a standardized tooth shape for comparison of shrinkage stress effects among restorative composites.
