It was observed that the dislodgement of post-retained restorations commonly occurs after several years of function and long-term retention may be influenced by various factors such as temperature changes. Temperature changes, in fact, produce micrometric deformations of post and surrounding tissues/materials that may generate high stress concentrations at the interface thus leading to failure %K Dental materials %K Endocanalar post %K Projection moir¨¦ %K Thermal deformation %K Thermal stress %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5123133/
