Comparative Studies (Finite element method) on the stress behaviour of titanium and glass fibre

posts under loading conditions.

Low intensity of stress; with applied pressure of 100N. The better distribution of stress in the Post ensures a

lower risk of breakage.

Titanium Post

The titanium post shows a higher intensity of stress which means higher risk of fatigue breakage of the

post or fracture of the root.
