A patient requires a large cusp-replacing restoration on a posterior tooth. The clinician opts for composite resin rather than ceramic. Which mechanical consequence must be discussed during consent?

Select the correct answer

A. The composite restoration will abrade the opposing enamel cusp more rapidly than a ceramic restoration would1

B. The composite restoration will fracture under occlusal loading because its hardness exceeds the yield strength of the underlying dentine2

C. The composite cusp will wear preferentially against the opposing natural enamel due to its substantially lower hardness3

D. The composite restoration will undergo plastic deformation under repeated occlusal forces because its hardness is similar to that of dentine4

E. The composite restoration will cause accelerated wear of the opposing tooth only if the patient has a parafunctional habit5
