Ferrule Effect
Ferrule Effect
[
Definition
The term ferrule is derived from the combination of the Latin words for iron (Ferrum) and bracelets (Viriola) from (Brown 1993). The ferrule effect * barrel hoop effect * is right as the 360-degree metal collar of the crown, which surrounds parallel structures of the dentin and is coronal to the preparation margin.
The result of these preparation designs is a strengthening of the form of resistance of the crown through the elongation of the tooth structure (Sorensen JA, Engelman).
Teeth with 1.5 and 2 mm ferrules show significantly better survival rates than teeth with 0.5 and 1 mm ferrules (Libman & Nicholls 1995).
