*The tooh model was reduced by 0.5 mm up to 2/3 of labial surface for type III model and up to distal surface for type IV model.
Each finite element model was designed as restoring half the space of the amount of interdental space (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 mm) because opposite tooth model was under symmetrical condition.

Three-dimensional finite element models simulating composite resin and porcelain laminate veneer restorations, with or without tooth preparation, for restoring the interdental spaces ranging from 1 mm to 4 mm

Mechanical properties of materials used
Maximum von Mises stress within each model with varying interdental spaces (Unit: MPa)
The maximum values were obtained at the cervical area near the line angle between the labial surface and mesial surface.
