Abstract

Three commonly used endodontic post designs, their lengths, their methods of insertion, and their abilities to transmit occlusal forces to supporting structures were compared. According to this photoelastic stress analysis, post design affects stress distribution. Stresses tended to concentrate under the post shoulder, especially if sharp angles were present. Also ascertained was the fact that the post length should approximate the length of the anatomic crown.
