title: [Biomechanical behavior of the pulpectomized tooth].
abstract: No accurate information is in fact available regarding the biomechanical properties of devitalized teeth. The time frame seems to be a more significant factor than nature of the pulpectomy itself, as far as the risk of fracture is concerned. The use of a pivot or other form of root anchorage does not seem to play a determining role in the long-term reliability of restorations. Partial restorations can be substituted for full coronoperipheral reconstruction insofar as they protect the cusps. Each clinical situation must be matched with the appropriate reconstruction.
