3D Analysis for Identification of the Proper Type of Post to Restore the Endodontic Treated Teeth

Article Preview

Abstract:

Abstract. The problem of root fracture in case of prosthetically restored non-vital teeth is a common concern among clinicians. These fractures are caused by increasing the diameter of the root canal during the endodontic retreatment and occure on the dental arches in both the anterior and posterior area. Such treatment failures lead to extraction, therefore the physician’s goal is to limit as much as possible their occurrence. We used finite element analysis method to find out what type of corono-radicular restoration is more appropriate in order to avoid fractures. We selected two of the most commun posts used in our country: metallic NiCr casted RCR (corono-radicular reconstruction) and prefabricated fiberglass endodontic posts of various diameters and we analyzed the existing tensions in the dental structures that would predispose the root to fracture.
