3d-Fe Analysis Of Functionally Graded Structured Dental Posts, Ahmed A. Madfa Jan 2011

3d-Fe Analysis Of Functionally Graded Structured Dental Posts, Ahmed A. Madfa

Ahmed A. Madfa

This study aimed to compare the biomechanical behaviour of functionally graded structured posts (FGSPs) and homogenous-type posts in simulated models of a maxillary central incisor. Two models of FGSPs consisting of a multilayer xTi-yHA composite design, where zirconia and alumina was added as the first layer for models A and B respectively were compared to homogenous zirconia post (model C) and a titanium post (model D). The amount of Ti and HA in the FGSP models was varied in gradations. 3D-FEA was performed on all models and stress distributions were investigated along the dental post. In addition, interface stresses between …
