“…Existem variados tipos de forças externas como tração, compressão, cisalhamento e torque. Para simular estas variações,cargas pontuais são distribuídas através de uma área específica por meio de uma cúspide oposta simulando um dente antagonista e um ponto de aplicação de carga pode resultar em concentrações de alta tensãoem nós (pontos pelos quais se comunicam os elementos) e assim é avaliado o estresse de concentração dos materiais 8 .…”

“…Com esta afirmação é visto que a obtenção de um modelo experimental de um elemento é de fundamental importância para o resultado final, visto que etapas são extremamente importantes e metódicas que vai desde o desenho gráfico, passa pela discretização em elementos finitos, formação da malha e distribuição das informações sobre os nós das malhas e que com isso obteremos os resultados desejados de avaliação 8 .…”

“…O uso do elemento finito contribui na explicação dos achados em estudos científicos. Outro fator importante é que os estudos em 2D são limitados quando comparados aos em 3D, por apresentarem uma limitação estrutural 8 .…”

| Objective:Objective is with this literature review to clarify the application of finite elements in dentistry. Method: A literature review was based on a specific and relevant literature, ie, scientific articles, theses and books on the theme. This literature has been conductedon the following platforms: PubMed, Google Acadêmico, SciELO and virtual libraries. Conclusions: Finite elements is a method to improve clinical practice, through a computational tool to tension and structural analyses in dental materials and orofacial structures.

In the last decades, the move of medicine towards minimally invasive treatments is notorious and scientifically grounded. As dentistry naturally follows in its footsteps, minimal access preparation have also becume a trend topic in the endodontic field.This procedure aims to maximize preservation of dentine tissue backed up by the idea that this is an effective way to reduce the incidence of post-treatment tooth fracture. However, with the assessment of the body of evidence on this topic, it is possible to observe some key points (a) the demand for nomenclature standardization, (b) the requirement of specific tools such as ultra-flexible instruments, visual magnification, superior illumination, and three-dimensional imaging technology, (c) minimally invasive treatment does not seem to affect orifice location and mechanical preparation when using adequate armamentarium, but it (d) may impair adequate canal cleaning, disinfection and filling procedures, and also (e) it displays contradictory results regarding the ability to increase the tooth strengthen compared to the traditional access cavity. In spite of that, it is undeniable that methodological flaws of some benchtop studies using extracted teeth may be responsible for the conflicting data, thus triggering the need for more sophisticated devices/facilities and specifically designed research in an attempt to make clear the role of the access size/design on long-term teeth survival. Moreover, it is inevitable that a clinical approach such as minimal endodontic access cavities that demands complex tools and skilled and experienced operators bring to the fore doubts on its educational impact mainly when confronted with the conflicting scientific output, ultimately provoking a cost-benefit analysis of its implementation as a routine technique. In addition, this review discusses the ongoing scientific and clinical status of minimally invasive access cavities aiming to input an in-depth and unbiased view over the rationale behind them, uncovering not only the related conceptual and scientific flaws but also outlining future directions for research and clinical practices. The conclusions attempt to skip from passionate disputes highlighting the current body of evidence as weak and incomplete to guide decision making, demanding the development of a close-to-in situ laboratory model or a large and well-controlled clinical trial to solve this matter.
