Popis: | The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of cavity configuration on the shrinkage vectors of a flowable resin-based composite (RBC) placed in occlusal cavities. Twenty-seven human molars were divided into three groups (n = 9) according to cavity configuration: “adhesive,” “diverging,” and “cylindrical.” The “adhesive” cavity represented beveled enamel margins and occlusally converging walls, the “diverging” cavity had occlusally diverging walls, and the “cylindrical” cavity had parallel walls (diameter = 6 mm); all cavities were 3 mm deep. Each prepared cavity was treated with a self-etch adhesive (Adper Easy Bond, 3 M ESPE) and filled with a flowable RBC (Tetric EvoFlow, Ivoclar Vivadent) to which had been added 2 wt% traceable glass beads. Two micro-CT scans were performed on each sample (uncured and cured). The scans were then subjected to medical image registration for shrinkage vector calculation. Shrinkage vectors were evaluated three-dimensionally (3D) and in the axial direction. The “adhesive” group had the greatest mean 3D shrinkage vector lengths and upward movement (31.1 ± 10.9 μm; − 13.7 ± 12.1 μm), followed by the “diverging” (27.4 ± 12.1 μm; − 5.7 ± 17.2 μm) and “cylindrical” groups (23.3 ± 11.1 μm; − 3.7 ± 13.6 μm); all groups differed significantly (p |
