Abstract: Polymerization shrinkage is a major side effect of resin composite materials that affects the success and longevity of caries restorations. This study was to analyze the effect of the internal angle and shape of the lining on the shrinkage residual stress of dental restorations in Class II mesio-occlusal-distal (MOD) cavities through finite element analysis (FEA). A 3D reconstructed model of a human mandibular first molar was created from micro-CT images, and then the tooth was prepared as a Class II MOD cavity. 3D models of four regular internal corner shapes of Class II MOD cavities with different internal angles of lining and one 90° filleted corner model were created. The thermal expansion technique was applied to approximate the shrinkage impact of composite resin polymerization in the FE software ABAQUS. Von Mises stress was taken as a metric. The results showed that the level of residual stresses in the Class II MOD cavities was greatly dependent on the internal angle of the lining. The maximum von Mises stress in tooth tissue decreased as the internal angle of the lining increased. The internal shapes of the lining had no obvious effect on the stress, and the filleted corner model had less stress. This lining strategy is appropriate for Class II MOD cavities with serious loss of tooth tissue.
