Load cycling of lingual rest seats prepared in bonded composite.
A study to investigate the suitability of lingual composite rest seats for anterior teeth was based on the single criterion of repetitive load cycling. A 3-year minimum survival was chosen, with load and cycling values based on a review of the literature. An attempt was made to simulate the effect of saliva on composite.
