Methodology: Thirty-two sound maxillary premolar teeth with large slot MOD cavities were distributed to four groups (n=8). Three groups were restored with bulk-fill resin composite materials (Tetric EvoCeram, x-tra fil, and Sonic Fill, respectively) in a single increment. The conventional composite group, Filtek Z100, was used to restore the cavities in 2mm increments. Cusp deflection was recorded post irradiation using a Nikon measurescope UM-2 (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan), by measuring the changes in the bucco-palatal width of the premolar teeth at 5 minutes, 24 hours, and 48 hours after completion of the restoration. The cuspal deflection was obtained by recording the difference between the baseline measurements and the other measurements for each tooth. Results: Cuspal deflection was significantly higher in Conventional Composite than in Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill (p=0.0031), x-tra Fil Bulk (p=0.0029), and SonicFill Bulk (p=0.0002). There was no significant difference in cuspal deflection for Tetric EvoCeram Bulk, X-tra Fil Bulk, and SonicFill Bulk Composites. Conclusions: All the investigated bulk-fill resin composites exhibited cuspal deflection lower than conventional resin composite.
