Evaluation of fracture resistance in a single rooted mandibular first premolar following access opening with AReneto® system: A finite element study.
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Background: Preservation of pericervical dentin (PCD) during access cavity preparation plays a critical role in maintaining the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth. Traditional access techniques, when providing visibility and canal access, often compromise structural integrity. The integration of guided endodontic systems offers a promising minimally invasive alternative. Aim: system, through finite element analysis (FEA). Materials and Methods: software to evaluate stress distribution and displacement. Results: FEA revealed the highest displacement and stress concentration in Sample 2. Sample 3 demonstrated lower displacement and Sample 1 showed the least displacement. Conclusion: system offers a conservative, accurate, and clinically feasible approach that preserves PCD and enhances the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth. The integration of AR in endodontics represents a significant advancement toward minimally invasive endodontics.
