Part 2 Biomechanics in endodontics (Article Series), Theoretical framework and development of computational model of dentine fatigue, Stupid models for interpreting living organs

Modern endodontic treatments include reinforcement of the restoration by utilizing post that extending inside the root canal. Different commercial products are present in the market that had different mechanical properties. Two main categories are present, plastic post reinforced by fibers or metallic post. The effect on the fatigue properties of the dentine had been investigated in this paper from mechanical perspective
