AI Article Synopsis
- The finite element method (FEM) is a crucial computational tool for analyzing stress and strain, particularly in biological structures like teeth, periodontium, and alveolar bone.
- Understanding the modeling process for creating a three-dimensional FEM model is vital, as the quality of the results heavily relies on how well the model represents the actual biological system.
- FEM allows researchers to evaluate stress and strain levels in dental structures under various orthodontic scenarios safely, without causing any harm to the tissues.
Article Abstract
The finite element method (FEM) is a powerful computational tool for solving stress-strain problems; its ability to handle material inhomogeneity and complex shapes makes the FEM, the most suitable method for the analysis of internal stress levels in the tooth, periodontium, and alveolar bone. This article intends to explain the steps involved in the generation of a three-dimensional finite element model of tooth, periodontal ligament (PDL) and alveolar bone, as the procedure of modeling is most important because the result is based on the nature of the modeling systems. Finite element analysis offers a means of determining strain-stress levels in the tooth, ligament, and bone structures for a broad range of orthodontic loading scenarios without producing tissue damage.
