Alveolar bone: A linear elastic, isotropic, and homogeneous behaviour was assumed and mechanical properties were obtained from cancellous bone values taken from previous studies. Differences in rigidity between different bone types were not contemplated, as they were not considered relevant to the objectives of the study (Young modulus of 1.37 × 10 3 ). Teeth: A linear elastic, isotropic, and homogeneous behaviour was assumed and mechanical properties were obtained from previous studies. Differences in rigidity among enamel, dentin, and cement were not contemplated, as they were not considered relevant to the objectives of the study (Young Modulus of 1.96 × 10 4 ). Composite attachments: Assumed as an isotropic homogeneous linear elastic behaviour, with mechanical properties referred by the manufacturers (Filtek TMP60, 3M ESPE, 3M, St. Paul, MN) (Table 1).…”
