✦ Synopsis

This paper aims at evaluating the mechanical performance of endodontically treated teeth. A threedimensional "nite element analysis of teeth is presented. 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 ideal shapes and materials of the posts are drawn.
