P>Aim To compare mean cusp movement in molar teeth with endodontic access and mesial-occlusal-distal (MOD) cavities before and after restoration with several fibre-reinforced composite restoration techniques under loading and to evaluate the effect of restoration technique on fracture strength. Methodology Reference points were marked at the mesial cusp ridges of extracted human mandibular molar teeth. Digital images were taken under loading (300 N) using a stereomicroscope (Leica MZ16A; Wetzlar, Germany). Three-dimensional (3D) distances between the reference points were recorded (Leica, Stereo-Explorer, 2.1) as controls. Standard MOD cavities were prepared and restored as follows (n = 10), group 1: composite restoration (Clearfil AP-X; Kuraray, Tokyo, Japan); group 2: cavity lined with polyethylene fibre (Ribbond, Ribbond Inc., Seattle, WA, USA) in combination with flowable resin (Protect-Liner F; Kuraray, Tokyo, Japan) before composite restoration; group 3: polyethylene fibre inserted on occlusal surface of the tooth from buccal to lingual after finishing the composite restoration; group 4: missing walls were restored with composite resin and inner surfaces of the axial walls were then reinforced with polyethylene fibre placed circumferentially before the composite restoration. The restored teeth were re-loaded, digital images were re-taken and the 3D distance between the reference points was recorded in mu m. Comparisons of the restoration techniques, the effectiveness of restoration for each group were analysed statistically (Kruskall-Wallis, paired-samples t-test). The teeth were then loaded until failure (5 mm min-1), the data were recorded (N) and analysed statistically (Kruskall-Wallis test). Results A significant difference occurred amongst the groups in terms of cusp movement (P = 0.018). All the groups revealed a decrease in inter-cuspal width when compared to their initial records. The mean values of these decreases were as follows: group 1 17.6 (P = 0.003), group 2 6.7 (not sig), group 3 6.6 (not sig) and group 4 0.85 (not sig) mu m. No significant difference was found amongst the fracture strength values (P = 0.22). In group 1, 90% of the fractures were non-restorable, whereas in group 3 100% of the fractures were restorable. Conclusions Regardless of restoration technique, fibre reinforcement of composite restorations decreased cusp movement in molar teeth with MOD and endodontic access cavities but did not affect fracture strength.
