Effects of Alveolar Bone Loss and Post-Core Design on Stress Distribution of Severely Damaged Canine

Abstract:

To investigate the influence of alveolar bone loss and post design on stress distribution of a severely damaged canine. The residual canal dentin wall in the cervical region was standardized at 0.5mm in thickness. Twelve two-dimensional finite element models were created. The models were varied in their alveolar bone loss. The post systems include computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing zirconium post, prefabricated glass fiber post, cast stainless steel post, and cast gold post. The numerical models were considered to be restored with an all-ceramic crown. A load of 100N was applied to the crown at an angle of 45 degree on the lingual surface, and Mises stresses were calculated. Finite element analysis revealed that cast stainless steel post system showed the lowest maximum Mises stress in the dentine at 86.46 MPa, while, glass fiber post resulted in the highest stress concentration in the dentin at 174.3 MPa. Stresses were reduced by increasing alveolar height. Loss of alveolar bone loss may lead to an increased risk of failure.
