(1) Background: The in vitro study aimed to investigate mechanical characteristics of resin composites and their suitability in direct restauration of endodontically treated teeth (ETT). (2) Methods: 38 endodontically treated premolars with occlusal access cavities were directly restored using the following resin composites and adhesives: Tetric Evo Ceram® + Syntac classic® (n = 10), Venus Diamond® + iBond Total-Etch® (n = 10), Grandio® + Solobond M® (n = 9), Estelite® Sigma Quick + Bond Force® (n = 9). After thermocycling, the elastic modulus, shear-bond-strength, fracture load (Fmax) and fracture mode distribution were evaluated. Statistical analysis: one-way ANOVA, t-test, Kruskal–Wallis test; p ® showed the highest E-modulus (15,857.9 MPa) which was significant to Venus Diamond® (13,058.83 MPa), Tetric Evo Ceram® (8636.0 MPa) and Estelite® Sigma Quick (7004.58 MPa). The highest shear-bond-strength was observed for Solobond M® (17.28 MPa), followed by iBond® (16.61 MPa), Syntac classic® (16.41 MPa) and Bond Force® (8.37 MPa, p ® (1106.83 N), followed by Estelite® Sigma Quick (1030.1 N), Tetric Evo Ceram® (1029 N) and Grandio® (921 N). Fracture-mode distribution did not show any significant differences. (4) Conclusions: The observed resin composites and adhesives show reliable mechanical characteristics and seem to be suitable for direct restoration of endodontically treated teeth.
