Abstract
This paper aims at evaluating the mechanical performance of endodontically treated teeth. A three-dimensional finite element analysis of teeth is pres ented. The stress distribution in the teeth restored with a few variants of posts is compared. An improved design of the post is presented. A study on alternative materials for posts has been reported. Conclusions on the idea l shapes and materials of the posts are drawn. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B. V. All rights reserved.
