Abstract:
A new endodontic stabilizer implant device is presented that can be used immediately after enucleation of large periapical cysts. The force transmission characteristics of this implant were evaluated by means of photoelasticity. The implant served to distribute incisal forces within the supporting structure. Improved stress conditions resulted at the tooth apex and between the apex and the superior border of the implant when the tooth was subjected to apicoectomy.
