This study assessed the effectiveness of finite element analysis in predicting the stress intensity factor (KIC) for three types of dental materials: a glass ionomer, a dental amalgam, and a composite resin. Laboratory tests were conducted on small single-edge notch specimens loaded in three-point bending to determine values for fracture toughness (KQ). Using the dimensions measured for each laboratory specimen, a J integral approach was employed to calculate KIC using finite element analysis. Both two-dimensional plane strain and three-dimensional models were used in determining KIC for each specimen, and these values were compared to the KQ values obtained from laboratory tests. The results indicated that no significant differences existed between laboratory results and those obtained from both two- and three-dimensional finite element models (P > .85). For the three-dimensional model, values for KIC were found to vary across the specimen thickness, with the values at the center of the specimen closely paralleling those obtained from the two-dimensional plane strain model. It was concluded that the two-dimensional plane strain J integral technique was as effective as the three-dimensional technique in calculating values for KIC.
OBJECTIVES: Electronic databases provide strong support for research and education literature searches. However, there is still some lag in time between publication and updates of the database. The objective of this summary was to identify and categorize the 1994 dental materials scientific literature that dealt with restorative dentistry. METHODS: Seventeen primary journals were manually searched via the Tables of Contents and 88 secondary journals were manually or electronically searched. Dental materials citations were categorized into 15 major sections and several subsections, excluding case reports and literature primarily related to dental implants or biomedical materials outside of dentistry. RESULTS: Nearly twelve hundred citations were identified, the largest number being associated with composites and glass ionomers. SIGNIFICANCE: This list provides a comprehensive source for review by academicians and researchers to bridge the gap between initial publication and electronic citation.
Information pertaining to the research directions and output of dental schools in different countries is of importance in understanding intra- and inter- national differences amongst groups of dental practitioners. The research output of European dental schools has been assessed quantitatively and qualitatively on the basis of published abstracts of research presentations at IADR-meetings during 1993. These data are compared with comparable data for 1990/91. The results indicate that European dental schools are substantially different in terms of research output relative to total population, with the UK at one extreme and Italy at the other. The UK, Denmark, The Netherlands, Sweden and Norway are highly ranked while Portugal, Spain, Italy, Germany and France have low rankings, according to the method used. Periodontology, plaque, dental materials, and restorative dentistry would appear to be the principal foci of research. Possible ways of strengthening the coordination and the efficiency and effectiveness of dental research at the European level are discussed. It is suggested that the creation of centres of excellence and research networks are approaches to be considered. An unresolved problem will be the contradictory requirements from educational and research perspectives in relation to the training of dental practitioners.
