Part 11 Biomechanics in endodontics (Article Series), Importance of the ferrule when bond is partially lost, Stupid models for interpreting living organs

Key Points

• The research aims to investigate the role of the ferrule in the performance of teeth that have undergone endodontic treatment.
• Literature review on bonding and mechanical retention in dental restorations
• Analysis of the effects of ferrule on endodontically treated teeth performance
• Comparison of restoration models with and without ferrule presence.
• Ferrule presence enhances mechanical retention of restorations.
• Loss of bonding negatively impacts restoration performance without a ferrule.
• Mechanical retention is fundamentally superior to bonding in certain scenarios.
