Comparative Assessment Of Stress And Strain Generated By Occlusal Loading In Intact And Endodontically Treated Teeth: A Finite Element Analysis

A variable amount of stress and strain develop into the tooth structure during occlusal loading. A modeling and comparative study concerning the behavior of intact and endodontically treated teeth respectively was performed using finite element analysis. The aim was to confront the state of stress occurring in both situations and to evaluate the ensuing differences.
