[Numerical analysis of the anti-fracture intensity of packed and repaired tooth in different cavity capacities].
This study was aimed to assess the stress distribution of different capacity of class I cavity after composite resin filling. A three-dimensional finite element made of the maxillary second molar was constructed by spiral CT scan technology. Based on this model, stress distribution in tooth was analyzed before and after post-core restorations with 5 different capacities of class I cavity. When the circle triangle of class I cavities being under 50N vertical pressures, the cavity capacity increased from 3.3 mm to 3.7 mm, the maximum tensile stress values of the composite resin restorations being 3 times those of normal tooth, which were 14.872 MPa, 16.682 MPa and 17.589 MPa, 17.307 MPa and17.912 MPa. Obviously, the effect of different capacities of class I cavity on the maximum stress value enduring ability of teeth was samll, but in the analysis model, the enduring ability of teeth was reduced when the molars were filled with resin.
