OBJECTIVES: To discuss the development and current status of application of nonlinear
finite element method (FEM) in dentistry. DATA AND SOURCES: The literature was …

Purpose Nonlinear finite element contact analysis is used to mathematically estimate stress
and strain in a time-and status-dependent mechanical model. However, the benefits and …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Previous research into the strength of endodontically treated or
vital teeth restored with inlays or onlays has not determined which restoration method and …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM.: Unresolved controversy exists concerning the preferred cavity
design and restorative technique used to restore endodontically treated maxillary premolars …

The humid atmosphere and permanent occurrence of chewing forces in the oral
environment lead to degradation of ceramics used for prosthetic restorations. The aim of this …

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different types of restorative materials
and resin cements on the stress distribution in the regions of the restoration, cement layer …

We studied the fracture resistance of maxillary premolars restored with recent restorative
materials. Fifty max-illary premolars were divided into five groups: Group 1 were unprepared …

The effect of cavity design is a controversial and underrated factor in the clinical success of
ceramic inlays and inlay supported prosthesis. Many articles and studies have been …

Introduction Finite element analysis (FEA) is a numerical procedure utilised in the
engineering analysis of structures and is one of the most common numerical methods …

Objectives To establish a three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model of a maxillary
first premolar and to evaluate the stress generated on the tooth (dentine) and on the indirect …
