Abstract

Acoustic emission (AE) characteristics according to a variety of Configuration factor (C-factor) of methacrylate-based composite resin (Clearfil AP-X, Kuraray) and silorane-based composite resin (Filtek P90, 3M ESPE) during dental restoration were investigated in combination with the Finite element stress analysis (FESA). AE measurement results showed that most micro-cracks occurred within 1 min after the light irradiation started. As the C-factor increased, average cumulative AE hits and average cumulative AE energy increased. Those AE parameters for AP-X with high shrinkage strain were higher than P90 with low shrinkage strain. FESA results showed that the maximum shrinkage stress appeared at the resin/tooth interface on the specimen surface. The stress of AP-X was bigger than that of P90, which coincided with the AE behaviors with increasing C-factor.
