Abstract:
The aim of this work is to study the behaviour of a carbon/epoxi post housed in a canine tooth after endodontic treatment
in order to support the typical loads present during mastication. The three-D basic design of the dental piece consisting
of tooth + post was carried out with a three-dimensional parametric design program. We study the stresses and displacements
of the different elements of the dental piece under normal load conditions, and present the results and conclusions.
