Recently, a new class of flowable bulk-fill resin composite is claimed to be placed without final capping layer. Thus, this study aimed to assess and compare the fracture resistance of molars with Class II MOD cavities restored with different types of resin composite restorative systems after 6-month water storage.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>One-hundred sound mandibular molars were assigned randomly into 5 groups (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200920). The teeth in the first group were left intact and tested as unprepared positive control (group I), while teeth in the remaining four groups received Class II MOD cavities. One of the prepared groups was left unrestored and tested as negative control (group II). The remaining three groups were restored as follows; group III: bulk-fill resin composite\/Filtek One Bulk Fill (3\u00a0M Oral Care), group IV: no-cap flowable bulk-fill resin composite\/G-aenial bulk injectable (GC), and conventional resin composite\/Neo Spectra ST LV (Dentsply Sirona). Half of the specimens of each group (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200910) was stored in distilled water at 37\u00a0\u00b0C for 24\u00a0h and then thermocycled 5000 times between 5\u00a0\u00b0C\u2009\u00b1\u20092\u00a0\u00b0C and 55\u00a0\u00b0C\u2009\u00b1\u20092\u00a0\u00b0C (immediate), while the other half was stored for 6 months before thermocycling (delayed). All specimens were loaded occlusally in a universal testing machine using a metal sphere that contacted the teeth at the cuspal inclines until fracture occurred. The results were analyzed by 2-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post-hoc multiple comparison tests. The level of significance was set at <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Regardless of storage time, intact molar teeth showed significantly higher fracture resistance mean values than did the other tested groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
