The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of occlusal contact area for loading on the cuspal defection and stress distribution in a first premolar restored with a high elastic modulus restorative material. The ...

In this work, a series of finite element analyses was conducted to analyze the stresses in thin film-coated piston rings under contact loads. The actual normal and tangential pressure observed during a complete four-stroke ...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate, through histomorphometric analysis, the effect that different loading times would have on the bone response around implants. Materials and Methods: Three Replace Select ...

This article presents a study of the contact stresses between a rail and a wheel, in order to understand the mechanism related to this application. When two bodies, regardless of their forms, touch each other due to an ...

Objectives: To compare the lifetime of Y-TZP/porcelain crowns under three different load conditions using step-stress accelerated lifetime testing.Methods: The Y-TZP frameworks were milled using CAD/CAM, veneered with a ...
