Fatigue behavior and stress distribution of molars restored with MOD inlays with and without deep margin elevation

ConclusionsDME was not negative for fatigue and biomechanical behaviors. Resin composite inlays were more resistant to the fatigue test, although the failure mode was more aggressive.Clinical significanceDME does not impair mechanical behavior. Resin composite inlays failed at higher loads but with a more aggressive failure mode.
