Stress Distribution under Commercial Denture Liners- A Finite Element and Clinical Analysis.

Introduction: Previous studies have shown that 20-30% of denture users have been dissatisfied with their dentures.

Aim: To evaluate the stress pattern under elastic and viscoelastic denture liners using 3-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and its clinical correlation using a questionnaire.

Materials And Methods: The study had both in-vitro and in-vivo phases.
