Abstract

Introduction: The biomechanical behavior of endodontically treated teeth depending on the selected restorative material and tooth situation to be restored. Objective: To analyze by the two-dimensional finite element method the biomechanical behavior of different diameters in intraradicular posts and teeth with coronal remaining of 2mm. Material and method: Six models were made with three types of posts, as follows: Glass fiber post, carbon fiber post, and cast metal post, both with diameter # 1 (1.1 mm in diameter) and # 2 (1.3 mm of diameter). The modeling was performed using the Rhinoceros 4.0 program. The FEMAP 10.2 and NEiNastran 9.2 programs were used to develop finite element models. The loading used was 100N for axial and oblique forces. The results were visualized using the von Mises stress map. The statistical analysis was made using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey post-test, with a significance level of 5%. Result: The oblique loading stress values were higher than the axial loading (p<0.001) for both situations. The glass fiber post showed the lowest concentrations of stress on both loads (p<0.001). The carbon fiber post presented significant difference compared to the cast metal post, only in the oblique load (p=0.007). The diameter did not increase the stress of the evaluated posts (p=0.302). Conclusion: The fiber posts were more favorable for restoration of endodontically treated teeth; the increase of diameter did not influence the increase of tension; the oblique load was more harmful for both posts and tooth structure.

Resumo

Introdução: O comportamento biomecânico de dentes tratados endodonticamente é variável conforme o material restaurador selecionado e situação do dente a ser restaurado. Objetivo: Analisar por meio do método dos elementos finitos bidimensional o comportamento biomecânico de diferentes retentores intrarradiculares e diâmetros em dentes com 2mm de remanescente coronário. Material e método: Foram confeccionados seis modelos com três tipo de retentores: pino de fibra de vidro, pino de fibra de carbono e núcleo metálico fundido, ambos com diâmetro #1 (1,1mm de diâmetro) e #2 (1,3mm de diâmetro). A modelagem foi realizada através do programa Rhinoceros 4.0, e em seguida nos programas FEMAP 10.2 e NeiNastran 9.2 para desenvolvimento d os modelos de elementos finitos. Nos carregamentos foram utilizadas forças de 100N axial e oblíquo. Os resultados foram visualizados pelo mapa de tensão von Mises, e pela análise de variância (ANOVA) e pós-teste Tukey, com nível de significância à 5%. Resultado: O carregamento oblíquo apresentou maiores valores de tensões (p<0,001). O pino de fibra de vidro apresentou menores concentrações de tensões em ambos os carregamentos (p<0,001). O pino de fibra de carbono apresentou diferença significativa em relação ao núcleo metálico somente no carregamento oblíquo (p=0,007). O  diâmetro não influenciou para o aumento de tensões dos retentores avaliados (p=0,302). Conclusão: Os pinos de fibras são mais favoráveis para restaurações de dentes tratados endodonticamente; O aumento do diâmetro não influenciou no aumento de tensões; A carga oblíqua é mais prejudicial à tanto para o retentor quanto para a estrutura dentária.
