A photoelastic study of stress concentrations produced by retention pins in amalgam restorations

V. B. Dhuru, K. McLachlan and Z. Kasloff

Photoelastic models of pin-amalgam restorations were constructed to simulate different pin-dentin-amalgam relationships. The stress-raising effect of a pin is influenced by the axial stiffness of the pin and its capability of bonding with the amalgam. The stress produced by a very stiff non-bonded pin could cause failure of the restoration.
