To study the effect of central retainer shape and abduction angle during tooth preparation on stress distribution in endocrown-restored molars via finite element (FE) analysis, we constructed five FE models with different central retainer shapes and abduction angles. Under an oblique load, the distributions of maximum tensile stress in cervical dentin around the endocrown and on the cement layer, as well as maximum shear stress on the cement layer, were more balanced in the FE model in which the central retainer shape was generated based on the anatomical form of the pulp chamber. Moreover, there were no differences in stress distributions among FE models with different abduction angles. Therefore, the shape of the central retainer should be designed on the basis of the anatomical form of the pulp chamber; abduction angle during tooth preparation does not influence the repair effect of endocrown-restored mandibular molars.
