Abstract
Dental biomechanics is an interdisciplinary approach wherein engineering principles are made use of in dentistry to develop better understanding of clinical problems. In the present study the photoelastic technique is utilized to compare the stress distribution pattern in the supporting bone in a tooth with supporting bone loss and a tooth stabilized using an endodontic implant. It is concluded that an endodontic implant in a tooth with supporting bone loss can induce deleterious effects in the supporting bone
