Normal mastication with its varying magnitude and direction generates considerable reactionary stresses in teeth and their supporting tissues. The structure of the human tooth and its supporting tissues is a complex assemblage of materials of varied mechanical properties. The finite element method (FEM), a modern technique of numerical stress analysis, has the great advantage of being applicable to solids of irregular geometry and heterogeneous material properties and therefore ideally suited to the examination of structural behavior of teeth. The mandibular first permanent molar is one of the earliest permanent teeth to erupt in the oral cavity and hence most prone to caries. The purpose of the present study was to construct a two-dimensional FE model of the mandibular first permanent molar and its supporting structures, using a FE software called NISA II-Display III, EMRC, USA to study the following: • To compare stress distributions patterns when a modeled Class I Cavity was restored with dental amalgam and composite resin. • To compare the stress distributions pattern when the load was applied to different to locations, i.e.: At the mesial cusp tip, and at the center of the occlusal surface. Both amalgam and composite resin showed similar stress distribution pattern, however, the magnitudes of stresses generated in the tooth restored with composite resin were higher. Thus, amalgam is a better restorative material in distributing stresses.
正常咀嚼时其大小和方向不断变化,会在牙齿及其支持组织中产生相当大的反应应力。人类牙齿及其支持组织的结构是具有不同力学性能的材料的复杂组合。有限元法(FEM)是一种现代数值应力分析技术,具有适用于几何形状不规则和材料性能不均匀的固体的巨大优势,因此非常适合研究牙齿的结构行为。下颌第一恒磨牙是口腔中最早萌出的恒牙之一,因此最容易患龋齿。本研究的目的是使用美国EMRC的名为NISA II-Display III的有限元软件构建下颌第一恒磨牙及其支持结构的二维有限元模型,以研究以下内容:• 比较用牙科汞合金和复合树脂修复模拟I类洞时的应力分布模式。• 比较将载荷施加到不同位置时的应力分布模式,即:近中尖顶处和咬合面中心处。汞合金和复合树脂都显示出相似的应力分布模式,然而,用复合树脂修复的牙齿中产生的应力大小更高。因此,汞合金在应力分布方面是一种更好的修复材料。
