Finite element analysis evaluates stress distribution in immature mandibular molars, suggesting effective endocrown restoration post-apexification.

This research aims to evaluate stress distribution in endocrown-restored immature mandibular molars using finite element analysis.
Performed three-dimensional finite element analysis using cone-beam computed tomography data.
Created tooth models representing Cvek 2, Cvek 3, and mature root development stages.
Simulated apexification strategies with MTA and assessed loading conditions (axial and oblique).
Analyzed a total of 20 finite element models focusing on stress parameters.
LDS material reduced stress transmission to residual dentin compared to RNC material.
Von Mises stress in root dentin ranged from 35.24 to 44.45 MPa under different loads.
Endocrown restoration post-apexification demonstrated reliable performance in immature molars.

Akgöl et al. (2026) studied this question.
