Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify crown materials and luting agents that would decrease the stress concentrated at the roots of endodontically treated teeth. To this end, natural tooth model (NT), full cast crown model (gold-silver-palladium alloy; MC), polymer-based restorative material crown model (HCC), and all-ceramic crown model (ACC) were constructed. In each model, methyl methacrylate-based resin cement (MMA) and composite cement (CC) were used as luting agents. The magnitudes of von Mises stress of the roots during function were compared. When the luting agent was changed from MMA to CC, von Mises stress in the cervical area decreased by 37.8 % for MC, 27.1 % for HCC, and 37.0 % for ACC. Within the limitations of this study, the combination of HCC and CC gave rise to the lowest stress concentration at the cervical area.
