Abstract: Objective: To study von Mises stress distribution of endocrown and occlusal veneer applied to tooth defect of short coronal molars using three dimensional finite element non-linear stress analysis methods. Methods: A healthy and complete right mandibular first molar was selected and established three-dimensional finite element model. The crown was squeezed to 4 mm, then simulated with root canal therapy (master apical file was 25/06) and restored with endocrown or occlusal veneer. Under the set mechanical parameters, mastication motion was simulated, the value and distribution of equivalent stress in the whole and each part of the model were recorded. Results: The maximum residual dentine mesial root equivalent stress was: the control group (105.30 MPa) > endocrown group (88.95 MPa) > occlusal veneer group (75.47 MPa). Conclusion: From the perspective of protecting the remaining tooth tissue, the occlusal veneer can distribute stress more evenly at the root of the tooth and lower the peak stress in the remaining tooth tissue.
