Biomechanical evaluation was made of horizontal nonparallel pin position effects on stresses of tooth structure and interpulpal temperatures with a stress analysis and heat conductive analysis, following finite element methods. The results were that it is adequate to use geometry to decide horizontal pin position in a routine clinic.
