NUMERICAL STUDY OF STRESSES IN DENTAL MATERIALS BY USING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Dental tooth is made of different materials such as soft, hard and intermediate materials. PMMA is the softer material but it is associated with poor mechanical properties. It has been documented that the strength of PMMA is increased by incorporation of Zirconia as filler material. The objective of this study is to find out the optimum or best material which overcome the disadvantages of both PMMA and Zirconia and gives the optimum composition with increased mechanical properties. For this purpose 3D model of tooth is generated and for different materials as per there mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity density and Poisson’s ratio this tooth model is analyzed in finite element analysis at constant loading condition
