“…Finite element analysis (FEA), a computer-based method to solve engineering problems, has been commonly used to investigate mechanical performance in aeronautical and automotive fields, but also to evaluate biomechanical behavior in the medical domain, whether for prediction of osteoporotic fracture, temporomandibular replacement, or tooth reconstruction [ 8 , 9 , 10 ]. This numerical technique allows the development of patient-specific FEA, the measure of the impact of mechanical stress following force application, and the selection of the biomaterial most appropriate for a personalized clinical application [ 11 , 12 ].…”

“…This numerical technique allows the development of patient-specific FEA, the measure of the impact of mechanical stress following force application, and the selection of the biomaterial most appropriate for a personalized clinical application [ 11 , 12 ]. Recent reviews have highlighted the increasing number of published papers reporting finite element (FE) models in oral medicine [ 10 , 13 ], especially for the analysis of new dental materials [ 12 , 13 ]. The development of a new FE model requires the definition of multiple parameters including, for example, the mesh, the material laws, and the boundary conditions [ 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”

Validated Finite Element Models of Premolars: A Scoping Review

et al. 2020

Finite element (FE) models are widely used to investigate the biomechanics of reconstructed premolars. However, parameter identification is a complex step because experimental validation cannot always be conducted. The aim of this study was to collect the experimentally validated FE models of premolars, extract their parameters, and discuss trends. A systematic review was performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Records were identified in three electronic databases (MEDLINE [PubMed], Scopus, The Cochrane Library) by two independent reviewers. Twenty-seven parameters dealing with failure criteria, model construction, material laws, boundary conditions, and model validation were extracted from the included articles. From 1306 records, 214 were selected for eligibility and entirely read. Among them, 19 studies were included. A heterogeneity was observed for several parameters associated with failure criteria and model construction. Elasticity, linearity, and isotropy were more often chosen for dental and periodontal tissues with a Young’s modulus mostly set at 18–18.6 GPa for dentine. Loading was mainly simulated by an axial force, and FE models were mostly validated by in vitro tests evaluating tooth strains, but different conditions about experiment type, sample size, and tooth status (intact or restored) were reported. In conclusion, material laws identified herein could be applied to future premolar FE models. However, further investigations such as sensitivity analysis are required for several parameters to clarify their indication.

“…Before performing a clinical trial that will necessitate a large number of patients to deal with anatomical and clinical variations, valid comparison of these different CRR is required. Finite element analysis (FEA) has been widely used to evaluate mechanical behavior of CRR in dentistry [ 20 – 23 ], yet, to the best of our knowledge, there is no published study on a CRR using either mFRC or mFRCG. Our aim was therefore to compare, using FEA, the risk of root fracture of mFRC and mFRCG with that of MIC and sFRC.…”

A coronoradicular reconstruction (CRR) has conventionally used a metallic inlay core (MIC) or a single-fiber-reinforced composite (sFRC) but extensive dentin removal can lead to root fracture. We propose herein a multi-fiber-reinforced composite (mFRC) based on a bundle of thin flexible fibers that can be adapted to the root anatomy without removing additional dentin. The aim of this study was to compare the mechanical behavior of the root reconstructed with mFRC, MIC, or sFRC using a finite element analysis (FEA). Models with or without a ferrule effect were created using Autodesk© software and divided into four parts: root, post, bonding composite or cement, and zirconia crown. For both models, extreme stress values (ESV), stress distribution, and risk of fracture were calculated for an oblique force (45°) of 100 N applied to the top of the buccal cusp. Results indicated that mFRC and mFRCG present a lower risk of fracture of the root and of the CRR without ferrule and thus could be valuable alternatives for premolar CRR. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the clinical success of these CRR.

Mathematical Modeling and Digital Simulation of Teeth Dynamics for the Approximation of Orthodontic Treatment Duration

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The paper presents an original solution for modeling and simulation of the teeth movement biomedical processes which occur in the case of orthodontic treatments. The direct application of this method consists in the possibility to approximate, with high precision, the orthodontic treatment duration, depending on the physical characteristics of each patient. This aspect represents a novelty element in the biomedical processes’ domain since, until now, the research activities in the mentioned field did not generate a solution for the approximation of the orthodontic treatment’s duration. Analog modeling of the biomedical process operates with a fictional shaft defined to highlight the tooth symmetry axis. The tooth considered as an example is approximated as having a parabolic shape with an elliptical section. The digital simulation refers to the spatial-temporal evolution of this fictional shaft in the orthodontic dynamics, being made through the run of four computer programming algorithms. Interpretation of the obtained performance indicators will lead to an interesting study regarding the dynamics’ process in orthodontics, having a pronounced unitary and systematic characteristic. Using the developed programs for obtaining the simulations results presented in the four tables and in the 18 figures shown in the paper, several case studies can be elaborated, associated with a wide variety of orthodontic treatments.
