Multiscale analysis of stress distribution in teeth under applied forces

A three-dimensional finite element analysis of the effects of restorative materials and post geometry on stress distribution in mandibular molar tooth restored with post-core crown

“…Thicknesses of the PDL, lamina dura, and cortical bone were assumed to be 0.2 mm, 0.3 mm, and 2 mm respectively (Fig. 3), according to average anatomical dimensions of the bone given in literature data 5,[12][13][14] .…”

The mechanical properties of human dentin for 3-D finite element modeling – numerical and analytical evaluation

“…25 Miura et al, in order to create multi-scale tooth model, measured E and G modules using microindentation. 26 They obtained high anisotropy values amounting to E 17.07 GPa, G 1.7 GPa longitudinally and E 5.61 GPa and G 6.0 GPa transversally to the tubules. Unfortunately, the information about measuring locations in the tooth structure was not available.…”

“…[3][4][5][6] Depending on the research topic, finite element (FE) models in macro-, meso-and microscales can be used. 3,[7][8][9] However, FE models of the biological structure are usually performed using a simplified approach. The employed method may play different roles depending on the model type, physics-related problems or the investigation's objectives.…”

Orientation and deformation of mineral crystals in tooth surfaces

“…Rodrigues et al (2009) showed the complex stress distribution on the tooth surface due to compression during biting. Miura et al (2009) indicated the presence of microscopic stress concentrations generated by differences in the microstructure of enamel rods. The measurement of stresses and strains in tooth enamel is expected to be of use in the estimation of tooth stiffness, evaluation of dental occlusion, and assessment of compatibility of implant replacements.…”
