We performed stress analysis by the three-dimensional photoelastic experiments in order to elucidate dynamic behavior in porcelain laminate veneer restoration of the lower central incisors. We employed two models in preparing the crown: Modell (incisal edge not covered with laminate shell) and Model 2 (incisal edge covered with laminate shell).We used two conditions of loading: Loading 1 (load applied to the labial mesial angle near the incisal edge from the side at an angle of 45°against the tooth axis) and Loading 2 (load applied to the incisal edge in parallel to the tooth axis). 2) In a wide range in the distal part of shell during Loading 1 in Model 2, suggesting the possibility of laminate shell detachment.3) The results of our examination suggested that, in performing porcelain laminate veneer restoration in the lower central incisor, a more stable stress condition can be achieved when the abutment shape is used without reducting the incisal edge.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
