Abstract

The purpose of present study was to evaluate the polymerization shrinkage stress and cuspal deflection in maxillary premolars resulting from polymerization shrinkage of composites and compomers. 1)Measurements of polymerization shrinkage stress. For measurements of polymerization shrinkage stress, Stress measuring machine(R&B, Daejon, Korea) was used. Composites and compomers which were used in this study were as follows:(omitted)
