    Abstract:
    This study determined the relationship between marginal adaptation to dentin cavity preparations, tensile bond strength of the restorations, and mechanical properties of the composites. Contraction gaps, tensile bond strengths, flexural strengths, and Young's modulus of eight commercial resin composites were determined. Eight resin composites (Clearfil AP-X, Estelite, Estio LC, Litefil II-A, Prodigy, Progress, Silux Plus, and Z-100) were applied to dentin cavities or flat dentin surfaces mediated with an experimental dentin bonding system consisting of 0.5 M EDTA dentin conditioner, priming with 35% glyceryl mono-methacrylate solution, and a commercial dentin bonding agent application (Clearfil Photo Bond). The contraction gap of the resin composite in a cylindrical dentin cavity was prevented completely for three of the resin composites tested (Clearfil AP-X, Estelite, and Silux Plus). The measured tensile bond strength correlated significantly not only with the tensile strength (r2 = 0.506; 0.01 < P < 0.05), but also with the flexural strength (r2 = 0.871; P < 0.001) and Young's modulus (r2 = 0.712; 0.001 < P < 0.01) of the composites, whereas the contraction gap did not correlate significantly with the measured tensile bond strength, the tensile strength, the flexural strength, or Young's modulus (P > 0.05). However, the results did indicate that the higher tensile bond strengths measured in the traditional test may be related to the higher mechanical properties of the resin composites because of the number of specimens that exhibited cohesive failure.
