[Examination of shear strength of repaired composite specimen].

Abstract

The test of the shearstrength of two composite-inlay-materials and two posterior composites exhibited a statistically significant less bond-strength of repaired specimen compaired with unrepaired control-groups, whereas each material showed different results. The indirect-inlay-system proved to have the lowest bondstrength after repairing. The combination of the two posterior composites as well as the two inlay-systems with each other showed that none of these materials was convincing as a repairing material.
