Three dimensional finite element analyses of oral structures by computerized tomography

J Biosci Bioeng. 2008 Dec;106(6):606-9. doi: 10.1263/jbb.106.606.

Abstract

Our aim was to document the benefits of three dimensional finite element model generations from computed tomography data as well as the realistic creation of all oral structures in a patient. The stresses resulting from the applied load in our study did not exceed the structure limitations, suggesting a clinically acceptable physiological condition.
