Biomechanical behaviour of a fractured maxillary incisor restored with direct composite resin only or with different post systems. International Endodontic Journal . Abstract Aim To compare stress distribution between a fractured maxillary central incisor restored with direct composite resin only (CR) or associated with different post materials, using finite element analysis. Methodology A three‐dimensional model of a sound maxillary central incisor and supporting structures was constructed, using data from the dental literature. Changes were made in the crown region to create a tooth with a restored crown fracture. A composite resin restoration only and restorations associated with different tapered post systems (glass fibre, carbon fibre, titanium and zirconia ceramic) were also evaluated, resulting in six experimental models. A static chewing pressure of 2.16 N mm −2 was applied to two areas of the palatal surface of the tooth. Stress distribution was analysed under a general condition and in the structures of the models separately. Results The maximum stresses were concentrated as follows: at the cemento‐enamel junction in the model with a sound maxillary central incisor, restored with CR and with a composite resin restoration associated with fibre posts; in the enamel at the post–enamel interface on the palatal surface of the model with a titanium post; and in the post of the model with zirconia ceramic post. Conclusions None of the restorations evaluated was able to recover the stress distribution of the sound tooth. The models restored with composite resin associated with a glass or carbon fibre post had similar stress distributions to that of the model restored with CR. The different post materials were shown to have a substantial influence on stress distribution, with less stress concentration when fibre posts were used.
