[Computerized occlusal verification in denture frames].

Abstract

Partial removable prosthesis must foresee masticatory force distribution on all dental arch, with occlusal contacts uniformly distributed on natural and artificial teeth. These dental contacts must have the same intensity and they must happen in the same time, rispetting the gnathology laws. In this work it is investigated the possible utilization in partial removable prosthesis of T-Scan.

Effect of margin design, cement polymerization, and angle of loading on stress in porcelain veneers.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: The clinical failure of porcelain veneers may result from stresses induced in the porcelain during mastication. PURPOSE: This study investigated whether applied stresses were large enough to cause porcelain fracture, examined the influence of the margin design, and examined whether a lack of bond in the middle, cervical, or incisal area would have any influence on stress distribution. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A 2-dimensional finite element model was made. Location and magnitude of maximum compressive and tensile stresses were calculated in porcelain veneer. RESULTS: Small differences in stress were observed in the margin portion for various cervical designs under the same conditions. An increase in stresses appeared for all situations and in all reading points with a more transverse angulation of load. A significant difference appeared between full bonding and a lack of adhesion in the middle portion, or cervical and incisal areas, of the veneer. CONCLUSION: A chamfer or shoulder preparation is recommended for porcelain veneer preparations. Careful evaluation of occlusal forces and how these forces affect the facing is indicated. It is important to receive a full bonding between the tooth and facing.

Energy-based evaluation of occlusion.

The purpose of this study was to establish an index for evaluating occlusal conditions using energy levels. For this purpose, first, the movement of mastication under five occlusal conditions in which the positional relationship varied mesiodistally was simulated and the energy applied to the food being masticated was calculated, based on theoretical values of computing mechanics using finite element static analysis. As a model experiment, the energy generated under each occlusal condition was then measured using the electrical output from an occlusion pressure sensor composed of pressure-sensitive rubber. By comparing the theoretical values of computing mechanics and the measured values, the changes in the energy level under occlusal conditions were consistent with the trends, and the maximum value of the energy was obtained under the occlusal condition of Angle Class I and consisting of rigid interdigitation. In conclusion, our results demonstrated that occlusal conditions can be evaluated using the energy level as an index.
