title: [Studies on stress analysis of laminate veneers].
abstract: The stress distributions in the laminate veneers under the two kinds of loadings are analyzed numerically by use of FEM in order to make clear the defects of various enamel preparations and Young's modulus of laminate shell materials in restored teeth. The analytical results are summarized as follows, 1) In both cases of two loading conditions under in this study, the stress distribution in restored teeth varied much with Young's modulus of laminate shell materials. 2) Especially in the case of thin enamel preparation in marginal light-chamber configuration, the higher tensile stress is obtained under the higher Young's modulus in the resin cement layer near the labio-gingival margin. 3) When the high load is applied normal to the incisal edge, considering each material strength, however what kind of laminate shell materials are used, the restored teeth is quite within the bounds of possibility for exploration in facio-gingival region or fracture in vicinity of loading points.
