Abstract

The endodontically treated teeth are drastically different from a living tooth due to the mechanical properties and configuration of the dental structure. In this paper, we want to investigate a claim about stress transfer that has been spread through the literature and trade publications. This had a direct impact on the management protocols in endodontics.
