Description
Summary:The advancement of digital technologies has revolutionized the medical field, offering new opportunities for the biomechanical analysis and simulation of anatomical structures. This study explored the modeling of mandibular and dental components using advanced methods such as finite element analysis (FEA) and three-dimensional modeling. Special attention was given to the distribution of masticatory forces and their impact on premolars, highlighting the biomechanical differences between restorative materials such as amalgam and composites. The results indicate that each material presents specific advantages depending on the loading conditions, emphasizing the need for personalized dental treatments. This study confirms the effectiveness of numerical methods in optimizing the design of dental structures and supports the applicability of these techniques in orthodontics, maxillofacial surgery, and dental prosthetics.
