Total equivalent strain obtained after applying a static load of 1400 N on the endo-crowns at 5, 6, 7 and 8 mm distance from the finishing line: (a) obtained maximum total equivalent strains and (b) distribution of total equivalent strain after applying the load at (i) 5, (ii) 6, (iii) 7 and (iv) 8 mm of the two endo-crown models. Monobloc (on the left) and endo-crown with primary abutment (on the right). The arrow indicates loading direction
