Abstract
The biomechanics of the human dentin-resin interface by a mixed mode fracture mechanics approach are studied. A finite element model for this newly proposed mixed mode dentin-resin adhesion fracture test is created and verified, which is intended to provide a theoretical basis for an experimental fracture test that will shed light on the mechanism of dentin-resin adhesion. Results showed that this proposed test method is capable of measuring the mixed mode fracture resistance over an essential range of mode combination.
