Abstract
Computational models of the masticatory system can provide estimates of occlusal loading during (static) biting or (dynamic) chewing and therefore can be used to evaluate and optimize functional performance of prosthodontic devices and guide dental surgery planning. The modelling assumptions, however, need to be chosen carefully in order to obtain meaningful predictions. The objectives of this study were two-fold: (i) develop a computational model to calculate the stress response of the first molar during biting of a rubber sample and (ii) evaluate the influence of different occlusal load models on the stress response of dental structures. A three-dimensional finite element model was develop..
