In restorative dentistry, the "ferrule effect" is the reinforcement a crown gains when its margin encircles a collar of sound tooth structure above the gum line, so the crown grips the tooth like a band and resists fracture under load. Sorensen and Engelman's 1990 Ferrule design and fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth showed that an adequate ferrule markedly raises the fracture resistance of restored teeth. The referent is a bracing effect of remaining tooth structure, not an optical sleeve or a plumbing ring.[1]
