Narrative:DURING THE LANDING ROLL, THE PLT NOTED THAT THE RIGHT BRAKE WAS INEFFECTIVE. SHE REQUESTED THAT THE PLT IN THE COPILOT'S SEAT ATTEMPT TO REGAIN CONTROL, BUT THE COPILOT CONFIRMED THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE USING HER BRAKES. SINCE THE RWY WAS RELATIVELY SHORT, THE DENSITY ALTITUDE WAS HIGH & THE ACFT HAD A FULL LOAD OF PASSENGER'S, THE AIRCREW DECIDED NOT TO ATTEMPT A GO-AROUND. THE LAST PART OF THE RWY SLOPED DOWNHILL, MAKING THE ACFT MORE DIFFICULT TO STOP. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE ACFT WENT OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY, TRAVELED DOWN A SLOPE & WAS SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED. AN EXAM REVEALED THAT THE RIGHT MAIN BRAKE LININGS (CLEVELAND PN 6630) WERE WORN PAST THE RETAINING RIVETS & INTO THE METAL CALIPER. THE EDGE OF THE O-RING PISTON SEAL PROTRUDED PAST THE CYLINDER LIP & WAS BROKEN. ALSO, NO FLUID WAS REMAINING IN THE CYLINDER. THE ACFT HAD BEEN FLOWN APRX 129 HRS SINCE NEW BRAKE LININGS WERE INSTALLED.
