Reconstruction of three-dimensional finite element analysis all-ceramic crown models of first maxillary molar / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To reconstruct three-dimensional finite element analysis all-ceramic crowm model of the first maxillary molar.Methods After the CT scanning and image processing to the first maxillary molar in vivo,a 3-D geometric model was established by the Imageware software.The mesh model was then built in Abaqus,the finite element analysis software.Result The three dimensional finite element all-ceramic crown models of the first maxillary molar was constructed on the computer,which had 60 160 nodes and 186 328 tetrahedrons elements.Conclusion The finite element model constructed has the advantages of intact structure and precise elements,can simulate the natural condition and facilitate the further biomechanical research.
