Biomechanics of anterior endocrowns with different designs and depths: Study of finite elements.

Background: To date, there is no clear consensus in the literature on which endocrown design and depth is the most effective treatment option for restoring endodontically treated maxillary central incisors. Aim: To determine the stress distribution of the anterior endocrowns by means of finite element analysis.

Material And Methods: Nine 3D finite element models (groups A - I) were made, each one representing a restoration system of endodontically treated upper central incisors.
