Part 12 Biomechanics in endodontics (Article Series), Endodontic post cement plasticity, Stupid models for interpreting living organs

Key Points

• The research aims to explore how plastic deformation in dental cement can lead to failure in endodontically treated teeth.
• Analyzed the mechanical properties of dental cement under stress conditions.
• Evaluated the impact of high stresses on cohesive failure.
• Investigated the deformation patterns related to cement plasticity.
• Identified potential stress levels that could cause cohesive failure.
• Demonstrated that plastic deformation plays a significant role in failure risks.
• Found correlations between stress exposure and cement integrity in endodontics.
