[Optimal reconstruction of destructed teeth by pin constructions]

327 patients with dentures supported by 318 pulpless teeth reinforced by pin constructions were under observation. Main types of complications after pin use were identified. By math simulation the system "covering construction-artificial stump-root pin-root of the tooth" was studied for teeth 11, 13, 15, 16, 41, 43, 45, 46 in two projections--vestibulo-oral and mesio-distal. Margins of strength properties of teeth armed by special pin constructions (made as individual casting) and artificial stump with standard pins made of different materials were determined. Optimal parameters of height and width of off-root part and intra-root pin sizes in different teeth groups in conformity with their individual anatomic peculiarities were established.
