Effect of wear on stress distributions and potential fracture in teeth

Effect of wear on stress distributions and potential fracture in teeth

Finite element analysis is conducted on a tooth model with different degrees of wear. The model is taken as a hemispherical shell (enamel) on a compliant interior (dentin). Occlusal loading is simulated by contact with a flat or curved, hard or soft, indenter. Stress redistributions indicate that de...
