In Group I (Negative control), the samples were left intact. In Group II, traditional cavities were prepared and in Group III truss cavities were prepared. Groups II and III were further subdivided into Subgroup A (no instrumentation), Subgroup B (instrumentation with variable taper files), and Subgroup C (instrumentation with constant taper files) followed by obturation. All samples were restored with composite restoration and subjected to compressive forces using an Instron Universal Testing Machine.
