Establishment of three-dimensional finite element model of teeth by CAE software / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

objective: To generate 3 D model of teeth for finite element method(FEM) analysis by computer. Methods: On the basis of 3 D model created by 3D Max, the 3 D FEM model of teeth was generated by using of CAE software. Boundary condition was set in the part of teeth root with elastic constraint. The elastic modulus was chosen as the modulus of periodontium. Results: Generated right inciser model comprised of 25 386 units and 5 111 nodal points. Conclusion: 3 D FEM model of tooth can be generated by CAE software.
