TRIBOLOGICAL BEHAVIOR SIMULATION OF HARD DENTAL STRUCTURES USING THE FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

Abstract

Simulating the biomechanical behavior of a reconstruction using the finite element analysis method is a modern method necessary before the practical stage of a research, thus enabling the precise shaping of certain trajectories in the approach of certain directions of practical applicability, as well as obtaining final results with relevant data (results coupled with experimental models that reiterate the clinical situation that will be later analyzed).
