Data on the long-term behavior of computer-aided designed/computer-aided manufactured (CAD-CAM) resin-based composites are sparse. To achieve higher predictability on the mechanical behavior of these materials, the aim of the study was to establish a mathematical relationship between the material thickness of resin-based materials and their fracture load. The tested materials were Lava Ultimate (LU), Cerasmart (GC), Enamic (EN), and Telio CAD (TC). For this purpose, 60 specimens were prepared, each with five different material thicknesses between 0.4 mm and 1.6 mm (N = 60, n = 12). The fracture load of all specimens was determined using the biaxial flexural strength test (DIN EN ISO 6872). Regression curves were fitted to the results and their coefficient of determination (R2) was computed. Cubic regression curves showed the best R2 approximation (LU R2 = 0.947, GC R2 = 0.971, VE R2 = 0.981, TC R2 = 0.971) to the fracture load values. These findings imply that the fracture load of all tested resin-based materials has a cubic relationship to material thickness. By means of a cubic equation and material-specific fracture load coefficients, the fracture load can be calculated when material thickness is given. The approach enables a better predictability for resin-based restorations for the individual patient. Hence, the methodology might be reasonably applied to other restorative materials.
