Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how hard dental structures in teeth with abfraction lesions react to different types of occlusal loads.
- A 65-year-old patient experiencing pain in her jaw and lower right premolars underwent a 3D imaging examination, followed by a finite element analysis to assess structural integrity.
- Results showed that the cervical third of premolars is especially vulnerable to inclined occlusal loads, which caused significantly higher stress than axial loads, highlighting the importance of FEA in dental treatment planning.
Background: Abfraction lesions are manifested as damage to hard tissues in the cervical area of dental crowns. The study aimed to assess the direct restoration of abfraction lesions according to the modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria for 24 months. The restorations were accomplished with Fuji Bulk-GC, Omnichroma Flow-Tokuyama, and Beautifil II-Shofu dental materials, and the therapy was or was not associated with wearing thermoformed mouthguards.
