Three-dimensional finite element stress analysis of a cantilever fixed partial denture

Finite element and experimental analyses of polymer-based dental bridges reinforced by ceramic bars

“…The stress peaks concentrate in this area (Figs. 5a and 6a) as was shown also in another FE stress analysis study (Awadalla et al, 1992). This finding can be correlated with clinical studies.…”

An Investigation of Tooth/Implant‐Supported Fixed Prosthesis Designs with Two Different Stress Analysis Methods: An in vitro Study

“…This may reduce the cost of analysis, but it also introduces more error due to the assumed artificial boundary conditions 40 . Recently, 3D models have been preferred because more realistic results can be obtained 29,31,40–44 . To date, the 2D method has been used when numerous, varied models and designs are evaluated in the literature 30,35,39,45–50 .…”

Modeling the Mechanical Behavior of the Jaws and Their Related Structures By Finite Element (Fe) Analysis

“…While the effects of alveolar bone height and different loading regimes on stress distribution in posterior fixed partial dentures (Aydin and Tekkaya, 1992) and cantilever systems (Takahashi et al, 1978;Wright and Yettram, 1979;Awadalla et al, 1992) have been investigated in fixed prosthodontic devices, several studies have modeled stress distribution through removable devices, especially complete denture prosthetics (Aydinlik and Akay, 1980;Maeda and Wood, 1989;Darbar et al, 1993;Kawano et al, 1993). An important study, although lacking direct validation, predicted the timedependent build-up of low stresses within the denture material in combination with relatively high stress concentrations in the underlying simulated bone tissues (Kawano et al, 1993).…”
