Abstract:This paper aims to identify methods for optimizing the geometry of dental prosthesis preparation, through both an analytical study and a numerical investigation. Assuming a 10° inclined load with respect to the median sagittal plane, a double algorithm was developed that was capable of calculating the axial resistance area and the cusp resistance area (if present) of a prosthetic abutment as the main geometric parameters vary. In particular, a coupling model with a pseudo-elliptical base was proposed, which is… Show more
