Analysis of Composite Shrinkage Stresses on 3D Premolar Models with Different Cavity Design Using Finite Element Method

Abstract:

Local polymerization stress occurs due to polymerization shrinkage of resin based composites adhesively bonded to tooth tissues. Shrinkage causes local displacements of cavity walls, with possible occurrence of micro-cracks in the enamel, dentin and/or material itself. In order to design a cavity for experimental testing of polymerization shrinkage of dental composites using 3D optical analysis, in this paper finite element method (FEM) was used to analyze numerical models with different cavity radiuses. 3D optical strain and displacement analysis of composite materials and cavity walls is limited by equipment sensitivity i.e. 0.01% for strain and 1 micron for displacement. This paper presents the development of 3D computer premolar models with varying cavity radiuses, and local stress, strain and displacement analysis using FEM. Model verification was performed by comparing obtained results with data from the scientific literature. Using the FEM analysis of local strains, displacements and stresses exerted on cavity walls, it was concluded that the model with 1 mm radius was optimal for experimental optical 3D displacement analysis.
