Probabilistic model for flexural strength of dental composites used in modeling reliability of the “tooth-dental composite” system

In the article the application of Bayesian probabilistic modeling was presented as a way to standardize analytics of measurement results, which completes the operational and procedural standardization of determining the strength of dental composites. The traditional way of conducting studies of strength performed as services and calculations, and which do not refer to previous studies, was changed into an adaptation process of knowledge accumulation in a form of an increasing precise models. Probabilistic flexural strength models were used to create a reliability ranking of studied dental composites. Conceptualization of reliability of a biotechnological system, such as a “tooth-dental composite” required the expansion of the notion of“failure” with random events involving the occurrence of compatibility failure.
