Comparison of in vitro and in vivo wear of composites.
In vitro wear data were determined for nine experimental composites and compared with two-year clinical data. The in vitro tests included single-pass wear and two-body abrasion. The in vivo data were obtained between 1978 and 1980 for 54 class 2 posterior composite restorations in 25 patients. Correlations between the in vitro and in vivo data were found with values of alpha less than 0.08.
