Abstract

A concentrated load of 222 N in the region of the central fossa of the second molar resulted in stresses in the supporting bone which increased gradually from zero in the region of the retromolar pad to about 25 MN/m2 distal to the second molar. Stresses in the alveolar bone supporting the second premolar were about 30 MN/m2 at the cemento-enamel junction, decreased to about 20 MN/m2 distal to the apex of the root, increased to 100 MN/m2 at the apex, and decreased to 3 MN/m2 near the mesial upper third of the root surface. When a distributed load of 222 N was applied to the first and second molar region, the stress distribution was similar to that observed for the concentrated load, and stress magnitudes were about 20% lower. Dramatic decreases in stress, with the maximum stress at the apex being 40 MN/m2, occurred when a 222 N load was distributed in the area of the marginal ridge.

Clinical evaluation of a composite resin system with a dentin bonding agent for restoration of permanent posterior teeth: a 3-year study.

This study evaluated the clinical performance of a visible light-cured small particle bimodally filled hybrid condensable composite resin system that included a dentin bonding agent compared with an amalgam alloy in class II restorations of permanent teeth. A total of 108 restorations were placed in 34 patients. Fifty-three composite resin and 55 amalgam restorations were inserted. Each restoration was evaluated immediately after placement and then on an annual basis for a 3-year period using the Public Health Service (PHS) criteria. In addition, the Moffa-Lugassy scale was used to measure the loss of material on the occlusal surface of these materials. One hundred percent of the resin and amalgam restorations were evaluated, measured, and reasons for replacement were recorded over the 3-year period. There was no significant difference (p greater than 0.05) in the clinical performance of the composite resin and the amalgam when evaluated by the PHS criteria. Analyses of wear at each of the three annual recall periods did not reveal any significant difference (p greater than 0.05) between the two restorative materials when measured by the Moffa-Lugassy scale.

The effect of reducing the number of clasps on removable partial denture retention.

Retention to a master model of 10 nominally identical chrome-cobalt removable partial denture castings with standardized bilateral molar and premolar clasps engaging 0.25 mm (0.01 inch) undercuts and 10 castings with clasps engaging 0.5 mm (0.02 inch) undercuts was measured on an Instron testing machine. The retention of each framework was remeasured as the clasps were removed in one of two sequences. Differences between frameworks, number of clasps, and depth of undercuts were all significant. The order of removal of the clasps was not statistically significant. In a separate experiment the position of the dislodging force was found to be significant. It was concluded that the dislodging force was dependent on (1) the fit of the framework, (2) the depth of the undercut, (3) the number of clasps, and (4) its point of application.

The Weibull distribution applied to post and core failure.

In this study, data on initial failure loads of direct post and core-restored premolar teeth were analyzed using the Weibull distribution. Restorations consisted of a prefabricated titanium alloy post, and an amalgam, composite or glass cermet core buildup in human upper premolar teeth. The specimens were subjected to compressive forces until failure at angles of 10, 45 and 90 degrees to their long axis. The two- and three-parameter Weibull distributions were compared for applicability to the failure load data. For estimation of the parameters of the two-parameter distribution: sigma 0 (reference stress) and m (Weibull modulus), linear regression was used. In this distribution, it is assumed that the third parameter, sigma u (cut-off stress), equals 0. The Maximum Likelihood (MLH) method was used to estimate all three parameters. It was found that the choice of distribution has a strong influence on the estimated values and that the three-parameter distribution is best fitted for the failure loads in this study. Comparisons were made between the failure probability curves as found by MLH estimation for the different core materials and loading angles. The results indicated that the influence of loading angle on the failure mechanism was stronger than that of core material.
