Abstract:The anatomical form of the teeth and the density of the base bone differ greatly at different tooth positions. Thus, it is necessary to investigate the effect of tooth position variation on the apical occlusal stress because it would be helpful to understand the mechanism of occusal force transduction along the mandible. Epoxy resin models of seven different occlusal types set up with identical plastic teeth were employed to determine the stress directions and magnitudes in the apical area under 2.0 Kg of vert… Show more
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.
