Mechanical weakening of devitalized teeth: three dimensional Finite Element Analysis and prediction of tooth fracture

ConclusionThe combined Finite Element Method and the Maximum Principal Stress analysis gave insight into the fracture mechanisms of teeth with two?surface composite restorations followed by root canal preparation. Removal of tooth tissue, despite its subsequent restoration with dental materials, weakened the tooth by changing the stress intensity and distribution through tooth structures. Access cavity preparation had the greatest influence on tooth strength while canal enlargement did not contribute to this process substantially.This article is protected by copyright.

Ligature?induced peri?implantitis in mice

ConclusionThis study describes a murine model of experimental peri?implantitis around screw?shaped titanium implants placed in the edentulous alveolar bone. This model should be a useful tool to dissect pathogenic mechanisms of peri?implantitis and evaluate potential treatment interventions. (Source: Journal of Periodontal Research)

Factors associated with temporomandibular disorders pain in adolescents

Summary To gain a better understanding of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) pain in adolescents, it is important to study the factors associated with its presence. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate potential predictors for TMD pain in adolescents, thereby including a diversity of factors from the biopsychosocial model to determine the strongest predictors. The sample of this cross?sectional study consisted of 1094 adolescents. The presence of TMD pain was assessed using the RDC/TMD, Axis I. Apart from demographical characteristics, the roles of parafunctional habits, psychosocial aspects, menarche and other bodily pain complaints were evaluated. Single and multiple logistic regression models were used to identify associations between the predictor variables and TMD pain…
