Text Book of Pediatric Dentistry. EVALUATION OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF NEWER GENERATION RESTORATIVE MATERIALS USING TWO DIFFERENT METHODS UTM AND FEA

      Аннотация: The principal goal of dentistry is to maintain and improve the quality of life of the dental patients. As many of these objectives require the replacement or alterations of the existing tooth structure, the main challenges for centuries have been the development and selection of biocompatible materials that can withstand the unique conditions of the oral environment.Finite Element Analysis is a modern technique of numerical stress analysis that has become a solution to the task of predicting failure due to unknown stresses by showing problem areas in a material and allowing designers to see all of theoretical stresses within.The main object of the study was to compare the mechanical properties with both virtual and experimental research methods.
