Aim: To test the fracture resistance of maxillary premolars with MOD cavities restored with a capsulated restorative materials, GC miracle mix,

GC Equia Forte Fil and GC Fuji IX Extra.

Materials and Methodology: Freshly extracted forty intact, human maxillary premolars were collected and stored in distilled water. The teeth

were randomly divided into 2 Control groups with 5 teeth each (n=5) and 3 experimental groups with 10 teeth each (n=10). Group I: No cavities

were prepared (Positive control). Group II : Class II MOD cavities were prepared but not restored (Negative control). Group III: Cavities were

restored with miracle mix capsule (GC). Group IV: Cavities were restored with Equia Forte Fil(GC). Group V: Cavities were restored with Fuji

IX posterior extra (GC). Fracture resistance was tested with Universal Testing Machine. Statistical analysis was done using One–Way Analysis Of

Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test.

Results and conclusion: Teeth restored with GC Equia Forte Fil were most resistant to fracture load followed by GC Fuji IX extra (p˂0.05) and GC

miracle mix Capsule (p˂0.05), suggesting GC Equia Forte Fil can be used as a potential restorative material among capsulated materials in

posterior teeth.
