Mechanobiological Analysis of Molar Teeth with Carious Lesions through the Finite Element Method
Open accessAbstract
The analysis of the distribution of stress in dental organs is a poorly studied area. That is why computational mechanobiological analysis at the tissue level using the finite element method is very useful to achieve a better understanding of the biomechanics and the behaviour of dental tissues in various pathologies. This knowledge will allow better diagnoses, customize treatment plans, and establish the basis for the development of better restoration materials. In the present work, through the use of high-fidelity biomodels, computational mechanobiological analyses were performed on four molar models affected with four different degrees of caries, which are subjected to masticatory forces. With the analyses performed, it is possible to observe that the masticatory forces that act on the enamel are not transmitted to the dentin and to the bone and periodontal ligament to protect the nerve, as it happens in a healthy dental organ. With the presence of decay, these forces are transmitted partly to the pulp. The reactions to the external loads on the dental organs depend on the advances of the carious lesion that they present, since the distribution of stresses is different in a healthy tooth.

The attributes of linear, homogeneous, continuous, isotropic materials and a semicontrolled mesh with high-order tetrahedral elements are commonly used in biomodelling and numerical analysis on biological tissues and organs.
“All these attributes are commonly used when performing biomodelling and numerical analysis on biological tissues and organs [22, 37, 43–50].”
From Numerical Analysis of the ACL, with Sprains of Different Degrees after Trauma (2021) · cites this paper as [22]
Materials and Methods describes semicontrolled meshing, high-order tetrahedral elements, and elastic, linear, homogeneous behaviour in the paper’s molar biomodels (page not provided). It does not establish that these attributes are commonly used across biological tissues and organs, or state that the model is continuous and isotropic. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
