RESUMO

The fracture resistance of upper premolar teeth with and without cavosurface bevel, restored with composite resin material was evaluated. Ninety upper premolar teeth were divided into 9 groups. The group 1, considered as a positive control, was composed of sound teeth. Groups 2 to 9 receive Class II MOD preparation cavities with standardized measures. Groups from 6 to 9 had the roof of the pulp chamber removed. In groups 2, 3, 6, and 7, the cavosurface angle was evident and without bevel; groups 4 and 8, a concave bevel around the entire cavity; groups 5 and 9, the bevel was only placed in the oclusal portion of the cavity. Teeth in groups 2 and 6 were not restored, and considered as negative controls. In the other groups, cavities were directly restored with an adhesive resin system. All specimens were evaluated until load to fracture in a Universal Testing Machine (Emic DL 2000), with a load cell of 500Kgf, maximum load of 450Kgf, and 0,05kgf of standard error. Results were submitted to one-way analysis of variance and Tukeys test for group comparisons. There was a significant difference among the studied groups regarding the different treatments on the cavosurface angle (independent variable) and the fracture resistance (dependent variable) (p<0.05). Removal of tooth structure through cavity preparation diminished the fracture resistance values, being that in more extensive preparation (removal of the roof of pulp chamber), this value was lower. The bevel placed around the entire cavosurface angle in Class II cavities significantly increased the fracture resistance, when compared to teeth with a clear cavosurface angle but without bevel, either in teeth with or without removal of the roof of pulp chamber. Besides, teeth with bevel around the entire cavosurface angle with or without endodontic therapy showed the best fracture patterns, almost completely preserving tooth integrity.
