Description

Aim: To investigate the distribution and stress pattern in  mandibular molar teeth restored with different restorative materials under 600N load by 3D Finite Element Analysis

Materials and Methods: Using Finite Element Analysis, Stress generated in Class II MOD lesion using different restorative materials were studied.

Results: Software performs a series of calculations and mathematical equations and yields the simulation result. The models was restored with three different restorative material which was subjected to a force of 600 N load. Von-Mises Stress were analyzed and compared  in different  materials.  From the results of the study , it can be concluded that Amalgomer CR performed best followed by Zirconomer and GIC (Fuji IX).

Conclusion : Restoration of Class II MOD lesions with materials of  higher modulus of elasticity will enable better stress distribution.
