Abstract Introduction This study aimed to predict the fracture resistance of a mandibular first molar (MFM) with diverse endodontic cavities using finite element analysis (FEA). Methods Five experimental finite element models representing a natural tooth (NT) and 4 endodontically treated MFMs were g...
