Full‐Crown Versus Endocrown Approach: A 3D‐Analysis of Both Restorations and the Effect of Ferrule and Restoration Material

Abstract

Under axial load, the endocrown showed the least tensile stresses in the tooth, but under oblique loads, the full-crown showed less tensile stresses than the endocrown. With the hybrid ceramic material, lower stresses were found in the crown, but higher stresses were present in the cement layer. The 2 mm ferrule is beneficial for reducing the resulting tensile stresses in all modalities.
