The effect of occlusal reduction and different CAD-CAM materials on stress distribution in endocrown restorations: A three-dimensional finite element analysis
Abstract:Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of different preparation types and restorative materials on the endocrown restoration applied to endodontically treated maxillary first molar and the stress distribution on the related tissues.
Methodology: A 3-dimensional (3D) image of a previously extracted intact tooth was obtained with CBCT. The resulting .dicom files were imported into the Mimics. Enamel, dentine and pulp were separated and extracted as an STL file. 4 different groups were determined a… Show more
