Wedge-shaped defects are frequently observed on the cervical region of the human tooth. Previously, most studies explained that such defects are caused by improper toothbrushing. However, recent clinical observation suggested that the repeated stress originated from occlusal force may induce the formation of wedge-shaped defects. In this study, therefore, two-dimensional human tooth model after the wedge-shaped defect is restored with composite resin is analyzed by using the finite element method. To obtain the intensity of the singular stress accurately, a method of analysis is discussed for calculating generalized stress intensity factors, which control the singular stress around the tip of the defect. Finally, the relationships between the stress intensity and occlusion are discussed. It is found that large occlusal forces perpendicular to the tooth axis are harmful to the resin that is bonded to dentin.
