The aim of the study was to determine the strength of the restoration with uniaxial compression of the tooth before and after thermal cycling. The object of the study was 20 removed teeth with abfraction defects. The teeth were divided into two groups depending on the type of restoration. Half of the teeth were subjected to uniaxial loading in each group, the second half was subjected to thermal cycling before loading. Samples with indirect restorations showed greater strength both before and after thermal cycling. | Experimental substantiation of the choice of the restoration method in the cervical area of teeth with abfraction defects
