Within the limitations of this in silico investigation, the results suggest that adding a bevel to a slot restoration can significantly improve the mechanical performance by reducing the tensile stresses and, hence, the possibility of debonding. ABSTRACT The primary aim of these analyses was to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of the restored ...
