Stress distribution on dentin-cement-post interface varying root canal and glass fiber post diameters. A three-dimensional finite element analysis based on micro-CT data
Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyze the influence of root canal and glass fiber post diameters on the biomechanical behavior of the dentin/cement/post interface of a root-filled tooth using 3D finite element analysis. Material and Methods: Six models were built using micro-CT imaging data and SolidWorks 2007 software, varying the root canal (C) and the glass fiber post (P) diameters: C1P1-C=1 mm and P=1 mm; C2P1-C=2 mm and P=1 mm; C2P2-C=2 mm and P=2 mm; C3P1-C=3 mm and P=1 mm; C3P2-C=3 mm and P=2 mm; and C3P3-C=3 mm and P=3 mm. The numerical analysis was conducted with ANSYS Workbench 10.0. An oblique force (180 N at 45º) was applied to the palatal surface of the central incisor. The periodontal ligament surface was constrained on the three axes (x=y=z=0). Maximum principal stress (σmax) values were evaluated for the root dentin, cement layer, and glass fiber post. Results: The most evident stress was observed in the glass fiber post at C3P1 (323 MPa), and the maximum stress in the cement layer occurred at C1P1 (43.2 MPa). The stress on the root dentin was almost constant in all models with a peak in tension at C2P1 (64.5 MPa). CONCLUSION: The greatest discrepancy between root canal and post diameters is favorable for stress concentration at the post surface. The dentin remaining after the various root canal preparations did not increase the stress levels on the root

Estudo clínico retrospectivo de restaurações cerâmicas do tipo laminado sobre dentes com ou sem preparo dentário: 1 a 5 anos de acompanhamento
Based on scientific and clinical evidence of adhesion to dental tissues and glass-ceramics in the 80s, more conservative treatment approach for dental prosthesis has been increasingly suggested. Among the most used therapies, the technique of ceramic laminate veneers are widely used in different clinical situations. Currently, from experience of applying the laminate restorations on teeth with dental preparation, some clinical situations have allowed the application of these restorations directly to the teeth without having to wear on tooth structure. Although the possibility of their application to real, few longitudinal studies have demonstrated the clinical effectiveness. The main of this study was to evaluate in a long-term of up to 5 years. In this study were evaluated ceramic laminate restorations applied to teeth with or without preparation. Materials and Methods: A total of 240 restorations were performed in 40 patients in the upper anterior segment, comprising from canine to canine, where in 29 patients, a total of 174 restorations laminated ceramic lithium disilicate (LS2) were performed on teeth with preparation, and 11 patients, 66 restorations were performed on teeth without preparation, between 2007 and 2013 at private clinic. Color stability and integrity of restoration, discoloration and integrity of the border were evaluated following modified California Dental Association (CDA / Ryge criteria). Results: a large percentage of restorations were classified as A, and only 2 (1.15%) restorations on teeth with preparation failed by fracture with the need to change (D), 4 (2, 3%) had minor color changes, 1 (0.6%) had superficial discoloration of the margin (B) and 2 (1.15%) had minor changes in the cervical margin (B). In the group of teeth without dental restorations, 7 preparation (10.6%) had superficial discoloration of restoration...Com a evolução da adesão sobre tecidos dentários e cerâmicas vítreas na década de 80, tratamentos com abordagem mais conservadora em prótese dentária tem sido crescentemente sugeridos, com ênfase no uso de laminados cerâmicos, incluindo, mais recentemente, a possibilidade de tratamento sem a necessidade de desgaste na estrutura dentária. Embora sua possibilidade de aplicação seja real, poucos estudos longitudinais demonstram sua efetividade clínica. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é fazer uma análise retrospectiva de 5 anos de experiência com restaurações laminados cerâmicos aplicados sobre dentes com ou sem preparo dentário. Materiais e Métodos: Um total de 240 restaurações foi realizado em 40 pacientes no segmento anterior superior, compreendendo de canino a canino, onde, em 29 pacientes, um total de 174 restaurações laminadas cerâmicas de dissilicato de lítio (LS2) foram realizadas sobre dentes com preparo dentário e, em 11 pacientes, 66 restaurações foram realizadas sobre dentes sem preparo dentário, entre os anos de 2007 e 2013. Estas restaurações foram avaliadas sobre os critérios de estabilidade de cor e integridade da restauração, descoloração e integridade da margem através dos critérios de Ryge modificados, California Dental Association (CDA/Ryge criteria). Resultados: Nos critérios de base utilizados, uma ampla porcentagem de restaurações foi classificada como A, e apenas 2 (1,15%) restaurações realizadas sobre dentes com preparo dentário falharam por fratura com a necessidade de troca (D), 4 (2,3%) tiveram pequenas alterações de cor, 1 (0,6%) teve descoloração superficial da margem (B) e 2 (1,15%) tiveram pequenas alterações na margem cervical (B). No grupo de restaurações sobre dentes sem preparo dentário, 7 (10,6%) restaurações tiveram descoloração superficial da margem (B) e nenhuma..
Short Implant to Support Maxillary Restorations: Bone Stress Analysis Using Regular and Switching Platform
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate stress distribution on peri-implant bone simulating the influence of implants with different lengths on regular and switching platforms in the anterior maxilla by means of three-dimensional finite element analysis.Materials and Methods: Four mathematical models of a central incisor supported by an external hexagon implant (diameter, 5.0 mm) were created, varying the length (15.0 mm for long implants [L] and 7.0 mm for short implants [S]) and the diameter of the abutment platform (5.0 mm for regular models [R] and 4.1 mm for switching models [S]). The models were created using the Mimics 11.11 (Materialise) and SolidWorks 2010 (Inovart) software. Numerical analysis was performed using ANSYS Workbench 10.0 (Swanson Analysis System). Oblique forces (100 N) were applied to the palatine surface of the central incisor. The bone/implant interface was considered perfectly integrated. Maximum (sigma(max)) and minimum (sigma(min)) principal stress values were obtained.Results: For the cortical bone, the highest stress values (sigma(max)) were observed in the SR (73.7 MPa) followed by LR (65.1 MPa), SS (63.6 MPa), and LS (54.2 MPa). For the trabecular bone, the highest stress values (sigma(max)) were observed in the SS (8.87 MPa) followed by the SR (8.32 MPa), LR (7.49 MPa), and LS (7.08 MPa).Conclusions: The influence of switching platform was more evident for the cortical bone in comparison with the trabecular bone for the short and long implants. The long implants showed lower stress values in comparison to the short implants, mainly when the switching platform was used.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP
Straight and angulated abutments in platform switching: influence of loading on bone stress by three-dimensional finite element analysis
PURPOSE: In view of reports in the literature on the benefits achieved with the use of platform switching, described as the use of an implant with a larger diameter than the abutment diameter, the goal being to prevent the (previously) normal bone loss down to the first thread that occurs around most implants, thus enhancing soft tissue aesthetics and stability and the need for implant inclination due to bone anatomy in some cases, the aim of this study was to evaluate bone stress distribution on peri-implant bone, by using three-dimensional finite element analysis to simulate the influence of implants with different abutment angulations (0 and 15 degrees) in platform switching. METHODS: Four mathematical models of an implant-supported central incisor were created with varying abutment angulations: straight abutment (S1 and S2) and angulated abutment at 15 degrees (A1 and A2), submitted to 2 loading conditions (100 N): S1 and A1-oblique loading (45 degrees) and S2 and A2-axial loading, parallel to the long axis of the implant. Maximum (σmax) and minimum (σmin) principal stress values were obtained for cortical and trabecular bone. RESULTS: Models S1 and A1 showed higher σmax in cortical and trabecular bone when compared with S2 and A2. The highest σmax values (in MPa) in the cortical bone were found in S1 (28.5), followed by A1 (25.7), S2 (11.6), and A2 (5.15). For the trabecular bone, the highest σmax values were found in S1 (7.53), followed by A1 (2.87), S2 (2.85), and A2 (1.47). CONCLUSIONS: Implants with straight abutments generated the highest stress values in bone. In addition, this effect was potentiated when the load was applied obliquely
Stress distribution on dentin-cement-post interface varying root canal and glass fiber post diameters. A three-dimensional finite element analysis based on micro-C data
Objective: The aim of the present study was to analyze the influence of root canal and glass fiber post diameters on the biomechanical behavior of the dentin/cement/post interface of a root-filled tooth using 3D finite element analysis. Material and Methods: Six models were built using micro-CT imaging data and SolidWorks 2007 software, varying the root canal (C) and the glass fiber post (P) diameters: C1P1-C=1 mm and P=1 mm; C2P1-C=2 mm and P=1 mm; C2P2-C=2 mm and P=2 mm; C3P1-C=3 mm and P=1 mm; C3P2-C=3 mm and P=2 mm; and C3P3-C=3 mm and P=3 mm. The numerical analysis was conducted with ANSYS Workbench 10.0. An oblique force (180 N at 45) was applied to the palatal surface of the central incisor. The periodontal ligament surface was constrained on the three axes (x=y=z=0). Maximum principal stress (sigma(max)) values were evaluated for the root dentin, cement layer, and glass fiber post. Results: The most evident stress was observed in the glass fiber post at C3P1 (323 MPa), and the maximum stress in the cement layer occurred at C1P1 (43.2 MPa). The stress on the root dentin was almost constant in all models with a peak in tension at C2P1 (64.5 MPa). Conclusion: The greatest discrepancy between root canal and post diameters is favorable for stress concentration at the post surface. The dentin remaining after the various root canal preparations did not increase the stress levels on the root.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES
Influence of Crown Ferrule Heights and Dowel Material Selection on the Mechanical Behavior of Root-Filled Teeth: A Finite Element Analysis
Purpose: This study used the 3D finite element (FE) method to evaluate the mechanical behavior of a maxillary central incisor with three types of dowels with variable heights of the remaining crown structure, namely 0, 1, and 2 mm. Materials and Methods: Based on computed microtomography, nine models of a maxillary central incisor restored with complete ceramic crowns were obtained, with three ferrule heights (0, 1, and 2 mm) and three types of dowels (glass fiber = GFD; nickel-chromium = NiCr; gold alloy = Au), as follows: GFD0 restored with GFD with absence (0 mm) of ferrule; GFD1 similar, with 1 mm ferrule; GFD2 glass fiber with 2 mm ferrule; NiCr0 restored with NiCr alloy dowel with absence (0 mm) of ferrule; NiCr1 similar, with 1 mm ferrule; NiCr2 similar, with 2 mm ferrule; Au0 restored with Au alloy dowel with absence (0 mm) of ferrule; Au1 similar, with 1 mm ferrule; Au2 similar, with 2 mm ferrule. A 180 N distributed load was applied to the lingual aspect of the tooth, at 45 degrees to the tooth long axis. The surface of the periodontal ligament was fixed in the three axes (x = y = z = 0). The maximum principal stress (smax), minimum principal stress (smin), equivalent von Mises (svM) stress, and shear stress (sshear) were calculated for the remaining crown dentin, root dentin, and dowels using the FE software. Results: The smax (MPa) in the crown dentin were: GFD0 = 117; NiCr0 = 30; Au0 = 64; GFD1 = 113; NiCr1 = 102; Au1 = 84; GFD2 = 102; NiCr2 = 260; Au2 = 266. The smax (MPa) in the root dentin were: GFD0 = 159; NiCr0 = 151; Au0 = 158; GFD1 = 92; NiCr1 = 60; Au1 = 67; GFD2 = 97; NiCr2 = 87; Au2 = 109. Conclusion: The maximum stress was found for the NiCr dowel, followed by the Au dowel and GFD; teeth without ferrule are more susceptible to the occurrence of fractures in the apical root third.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP)Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES
Regular and switching platform: Bone stress analysis with varying implant diameter
The aim of this study was to evaluate stress distribution of the peri-implant bone by simulating the biomechanical influence of implants with different diameters of regular or platform switched connections by means of 3-dimensional finite element analysis. Five mathematical models of an implant-supported central incisor were created by varying the diameter (5.5 and 4.5 mm, internal hexagon) and abutment platform (regular and platform switched). For the cortical bone, the highest stress values (rmax and rvm) were observed in situation R1, followed by situations S1, R2, S3, and S2. For the trabecular bone, the highest stress values (rmax) were observed in situation S3, followed by situations R1, S1, R2, and S2. The influence of platform switching was more evident for cortical bone than for trabecular bone and was mainly seen in large platform diameter reduction
Regular and Platform Switching: Bone Stress Analysis Varying Implant Type
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate stress distribution on peri-implant bone simulating the influence of platform switching in external and internal hexagon implants using three-dimensional finite element analysis.Materials and Methods: Four mathematical models of a central incisor supported by an implant were created: External Regular model (ER) with 5.0 mm x 11.5 mm external hexagon implant and 5.0 mm abutment (0% abutment shifting), Internal Regular model (IR) with 4.5 mm x 11.5 mm internal hexagon implant and 4.5 mm abutment (0% abutment shifting), External Switching model (ES) with 5.0 mm x 11.5 mm external hexagon implant and 4.1 mm abutment (18% abutment shifting), and Internal Switching model (IS) with 4.5 mm x 11.5 mm internal hexagon implant and 3.8 mm abutment (15% abutment shifting). The models were created by SolidWorks software. The numerical analysis was performed using ANSYS Workbench. Oblique forces (100 N) were applied to the palatal surface of the central incisor. The maximum (sigma(max)) and minimum (sigma(min)) principal stress, equivalent von Mises stress (sigma(vM)), and maximum principal elastic strain (epsilon(max)) values were evaluated for the cortical and trabecular bone.Results: For cortical bone, the highest stress values (sigma(max) and sigma(vm)) (MPa) were observed in IR (87.4 and 82.3), followed by IS (83.3 and 72.4), ER (82 and 65.1), and ES (56.7 and 51.6). For epsilon(max), IR showed the highest stress (5.46e-003), followed by IS (5.23e-003), ER (5.22e-003), and ES (3.67e-003). For the trabecular bone, the highest stress values (sigma(max)) (MPa) were observed in ER (12.5), followed by IS (12), ES (11.9), and IR (4.95). For sigma(vM), the highest stress values (MPa) were observed in IS (9.65), followed by ER (9.3), ES (8.61), and IR (5.62). For epsilon(max), ER showed the highest stress (5.5e-003), followed by ES (5.43e-003), IS (3.75e-003), and IR (3.15e-003).Conclusion: The influence of platform switching was more evident for cortical bone than for trabecular bone, mainly for the external hexagon implants. In addition, the external hexagon implants showed less stress concentration in the regular and switching platforms in comparison to the internal hexagon implants.Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo (FAPESP
