CAD-FEA modeling and analysis of different full crown monolithic restorations

The indication of full crowns in molars is a treatment that mainly aims to restore masticatory function due to the magnitude of the occlusal forces present in this region [1]. Noble metallic crowns considered as the gold standard have been widely used [2 –5]. However, with the aesthetic improvement of restorative materials and the possibility of using dental ceramics instead of metals for the same indication, metallic crowns have lost their popularity. In order to minimize the occurrence of failures of the covering ceramics in both metal-ceramic c rowns and full ceramic crowns [4,6], ceramic materials were developed with the possibility to be used in a monolithic way.
