Effect of different palatal vault shapes on the dimensional stability of glass fiber-reinforced heat-polymerized acrylic resin denture base material.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different palatal vault shapes on the dimensional stability of a glass fiber reinforced heat polymerized acrylic resin denture base material.

Methods: Three edentulous maxilla with shallow, deep and medium shaped palatal vaults were selected and elastomeric impressions were obtained. A maxillary cast with four reference points (A, B, C, and D) was prepared to serve as control.

Temperature and thermal stress analysis of a crowned maxillary second premolar tooth using three-dimensional finite element method.

The purpose of this study was to calculate the temperature and thermal stress distribution as a result of hot/cold liquid in the mouth. This numerical study was carried out using three-dimensional finite element models and the tooth model was crowned with Au-Pd alloy, Ni-Cr alloy and porcelain. In the first part of the study, temperature changes as a result of hot/cold liquid in the mouth were calculated.

Stress distribution associated with loaded acrylic-metal-cement crowns by using finite element method.

The axisymmetrical finite element method (FEM) was used to compare stress distribution in a maxillary second premolar restored tooth. The three models were evaluated by crowning the tooth with Au-Pd alloy, Ni-Cr alloy and Ti alloy with acrylic. A longitudinal static force, 200 N in magnitude at an angle of 45 degrees was applied on the occlusal margin of each model.

The three-dimensional finite element analysis of fixed bridge restoration supported by the combination of teeth and osseointegrated implants.

This study investigated the designs of osseointegrated prostheses in cases of free-end partial edentulism using comparative stress interpreted with the three-dimensional finite element method. Three free-end fixed osseointegrated prostheses models with various connection designs (i.e.

A calculation of stress distribution in metal-porcelain crowns by using three-dimensional finite element method.

The objective of this study was to calculate stress distribution in a maxillary second premolar tooth which occurred by the mastication force. The tooth model was crowned with Au-Pd alloy, Ni-Cr alloy and porcelain. A load of 450 N, at an angle of 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis was applied on the occlusal margin of the crown tooth.
