With a wide range of composite resins available today, clinicians can benefit from knowledge of the infrastructure of a particular material in order to determine which type will work best in a specific clinical situation. The purpose of this study is to analyze the biomechanical behavior of four types of composite resins, two of them used in direct restorations and the other two for prosthetic restorations created in the lab.The deformations, hardness and elasticity were analyzed under the same conditions, namely at 200 Mpa, as these are very important parameters for the biomechanical behavior of the analyzed biomaterials, the specificity elements being correlated with the biomaterial structure, polymerization time and polymerization modality. As a synthesis of the biomechanical behavior outcome related to the used resins versus the resins used in the lab of dental technique using indirect means, a relatively wide range of higher value parameters stands out with regard to resistance for the lab composites compared to those used in direct restorations.
