Abstract
Fractures of restored pulpless teeth without reinforcement are a familiar dilemma to the dentist. This study examined the effect of a metal collar with approximate 3 degrees of taper on the resistance of endodontically treated roots to fracture. Teeth without copings failed at a load of 49.6 kg whereas teeth with metal collars failed at a load of 65.29 kg. Our findings indicated that reinforcement with a metal collar is necessary to enhance resistance to root fracture.Entities:
