Effect of different restorative design and materials on stress distribution in cracked teeth: a finite element analysis study. BMC Oral Health 2025; 25:31. [PMID: 39773215 PMCID: PMC11706048 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-024-05122-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2024] [Accepted: 10/28/2024] [Indexed: 01/11/2025] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To compare the stress distribution and crack propagation in cracked mandibular first molar restored with onlay, overlay, and two types of occlusal veneers using two different CAD/CAM materials by Finite Element Analysis (FEA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A mandibular first molar was digitized using a micro CT scanning system in 2023. Three-dimensional dynamic scan data were transformed, and a 3D model of a cracked tooth was generated. Finite element models of four different models (onlay, overlay, and two types of occlusal veneer restored teeth) were designed. Two different CAD/CAM materials, including Lava Ultimate (LU) and IPS e.max CAD (EMX), were specified for both models. Each model was subjected to three different force loads on the occlusal surfaces. Stress distribution patterns and the maximum von Mises (VM) stresses were calculated and compared. RESULTS Compared to the base model, all restorations showed that high-stress concentration moved from the lower margin of the crack area towards the top of the crack area. The EMX-restored onlay, overlay, and occlusal veneer 2 had the lower stress in the cracked area and the lower average von Mises stress levels at the lower margin along the cracked line, especially under the 225N lateral force (P < 0.05). The occlusal veneer 1 filled with resin had a poorer stress distribution and higher stress concentration of stress at the remaining crack than the occlusal veneer 2 without resin filled inside. CONCLUSIONS The EMX restorations with onlay, overlay, and occlusal veneer 2 showed lower stress concentration at the lower margin of crack surface compared to the LU-restored models. The occlusal veneer with internal resin filler exhibited higher stress on the end of the lower margin of the crack surface. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Our results suggest that onlay, overlay ceramic restorations and occlusal veneer (without resin filling inside) may be a favorable method to prevent further crack propagation. TRIAL REGISTRATION A protocol was specified and registered with the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR) on 2022-04-12 (registration number: ChiCTR2200058630).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The advent of three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has revolutionized the field of dentistry, enabling the precise fabrication of dental implants. By utilizing 3D printing, dentists can devise implant plans prior to surgery and accurately translate them into clinical procedures, thereby eliminating the need for multiple surgical procedures, reducing surgical discomfort, and enhancing surgical efficiency. Furthermore, the utilization of digital 3D-printed implant guides facilitates immediate restoration by precisely translating preoperative implant design plans, enabling the preparation of temporary restorations preoperatively. METHODS This comprehensive study aimed to assess the postoperative oral health status of patients receiving personalized 3D-printed implants and investigate the advantages and disadvantages between the 3D-printed implant and conventional protocol. Additionally, variance analysis was employed to delve into the correlation between periodontal status and overall oral health. Comparisons of continuous paired parameters were made by t-test. RESULTS The results of our study indicate a commendable one-year survival rate of over 94% for 3D-printed implants. This finding was corroborated by periodontal examinations and follow-up surveys using the Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire, revealing excellent postoperative oral health status among patients. Notably, OHIP-14 scores were significantly higher in patients with suboptimal periodontal health, suggesting a strong link between periodontal health and overall oral well-being. Moreover, we found that the operating time (14.41 ± 4.64 min) was less statistically significant than for the control group (31.76 ± 6.83 min). CONCLUSION In conclusion, personalized 3D-printed implant surgery has emerged as a reliable clinical option, offering a viable alternative to traditional implant methods. However, it is imperative to gather further evidence-based medical support through extended follow-up studies to validate its long-term efficacy and safety.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2024; 151:106359. [PMID: 38181569 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.106359] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 12/26/2023] [Indexed: 01/07/2024]
Abstract
The paper concerns the numerical design of novel three-dimensional titanium scaffolds with complex open-porous structures and desired mechanical properties for the Powder Bed Fusion using Laser Beam (PBF-LB). The 60 structures with a broad range of porosity (38-78%), strut diameters (0.70-1.15 mm), and coefficients of pore volume variation, CV(Vp), 0.35-5.35, were designed using the Laguerre-Voronoi tessellations (LVT). Their Young's moduli and Poisson's ratios were calculated using Finite Element Model (FEM) simulations. The experimental verification was performed on the representative designs additively manufactured (AM) from commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) which, after chemical polishing, were subjected to uniaxial compression tests. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) observations and microtomography (μ-CT) confirmed the removal of the support structures and unmelted powder particles. PBF-LB structures after chemical polishing were in close agreement with the CAD models' dimensions having 4-12% more volume. The computational and experimental results show that elastic properties were predicted in very close agreement for the low CV(Vp), and with even 30-40% discrepancies for CV(Vp) higher than 4.0, mainly due to PBF-LB scaffold architecture drawbacks rather than CAD inaccuracy. Our research demonstrates the possibility of designing the open-porous scaffolds with pore volume diversity and tuning their elastic properties for biomedical applications.

Chmielewska A, Dean D. The role of stiffness-matching in avoiding stress shielding-induced bone loss and stress concentration-induced skeletal reconstruction device failure. Acta Biomater 2024; 173:51-65. [PMID: 37972883 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.11.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/08/2023] [Indexed: 11/19/2023]
Abstract
It is well documented that overly stiff skeletal replacement and fixation devices may fail and require revision surgery. Recent attempts to better support healing and sustain healed bone have looked at stiffness-matching of these devices to the desired role of limiting the stress on fractured or engrafted bone to compressive loads and, after the reconstructed bone has healed, to ensure that reconstructive medical devices (implants) interrupt the normal loading pattern as little as possible. The mechanical performance of these devices can be optimized by adjusting their location, integration/fastening, material(s), geometry (external and internal), and surface properties. This review highlights recent research that focuses on the optimal design of skeletal reconstruction devices to perform during and after healing as the mechanical regime changes. Previous studies have considered auxetic materials, homogeneous or gradient (i.e., adaptive) porosity, surface modification to enhance device/bone integration, and choosing the device's attachment location to ensure good osseointegration and resilient load transduction. By combining some or all of these factors, device designers work hard to avoid problems brought about by unsustainable stress shielding or stress concentrations as a means of creating sustainable stress-strain relationships that best repair and sustain a surgically reconstructed skeletal site. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Although standard-of-care skeletal reconstruction devices will usually allow normal healing and improved comfort for the patient during normal activities, there may be significant disadvantages during long-term use. Stress shielding and stress concentration are amongst the most common causes of failure of a metallic device. This review highlights recent developments in devices for skeletal reconstruction that match the stiffness, while not interrupting the normal loading pattern of a healthy bone, and help to combat stress shielding and stress concentration. This review summarises various approaches to achieve stiffness-matching: application of materials with modulus close to that of the bone; adaptation of geometry with pre-defined mechanical properties; and/or surface modification that ensures good integration and proper load transfer to the bone.

Abstract
Dental implantation is an effective method for the treatment of loose teeth, but the threaded dental implants used in the clinic cannot match with the tooth extraction socket. A root analogue implant (RAI) has the congruence shape, which reduces the damage to bone and soft tissue. Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have the advantages of high precision, flexibility, and easy operation, becoming the main manufacturing method of RAI in basic research. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize AM technologies used for RAI manufacturing as well as the factors affecting successful implantation. First, it introduces the AM technologies according to different operating principles and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Then the influences of materials, structure design, surface characteristics, implant site, and positioning are discussed, providing reference for designers and dentists. Finally, it addresses the gap between basic research and clinical application for additive manufactured RAIs and discusses the current challenges and future research directions for this field.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the influence of diameter reductions on the stress distribution around root-analogue implants via 3D finite element analysis. Four root-analogue implant models with different diameter reductions (0, 1, 2, or 3 mm), a traditional threaded implant and congruent bone models were created through reverse engineering. A 100-N force was applied parallel with and in a 45° angle to the implant axis, respectively. The stress concentration in the labial neck area around implants with 1-2 mm diameter reduction was lower than seen with no reduction. When the implant diameter was reduced by 3 mm, there were obvious stress concentrations in both implant and bone (the maximum stress was 206 and 111 MPa, respectively). In other groups, the maximum stress was 65.1 MPa in the bone and 108 MPa in the implant. Additionally, the stress concentration in the bone around the root-analogue implant when the implant diameter was reduced by 0-2 mm (maximum stress of 65.1 MPa) was obviously smaller than that around the traditional implant (maximum stress 130.4 MPa). Reducing the diameter of maxillary central incisor root-analogue implants by up to 2 mm next to the labial cortical bone could help disperse stress.
