Abstract
Background: Since few years finite element (FE) analysis has turn out to be a widespread tool for investigators seeking to simulate the tooth biomechanics and associated structures. Finite element method plays important role to expand understanding of the ferrule effect. This paper contains a systematic review and conclusions from FE method grounded computational simulations of the the tooth with post and core to simulate function and tissue behavior
Methods: 14 applicable papers were linked within this systematic literature search. Uprooted data contained information on type of tooth, location of tooth, magnitude of force, software used for modelling, boundary condition, method of scanning, validation, tooth with ferrule, tooth without ferrule, key findings.
Results: Included papers illustrated use of FE analysis for replication of including nonlinear tooth and tissue mechanics, contact analysis and rigid body movements. We executed multi-database systematic review through PRISMA standards accomplishing inclusion criteria and results were investigated and précised for appropriate papers.
Discussion: With prompt expansions of computer knowledge, the FEA now recognized as a potent method in dental biomechanics due to its flexibility in measuring stress dispersals within multidimensional structures. The researcher will be well equipped to understand the results of FEA investigations and correlate these results to clinical settings after learning the basic theory, application, method, and limitations of FEA in dentistry. Ferrule has a precarious impact on stress reduction. Teeth are less stressed when posts and cores are composed of strong materials. Keeping supragingival tooth structure included within the crown gives repaired teeth extraordinary strength.
Keywords: Ferrule, post and core, finite element analysis
