Abutment forms and restorative materials in adhesive prosthesis: a finite element analysis.
2004
This study evaluated experimental abutment forms utilizing adhesion for clinical treatment by the three-dimensional finite element method. Three experimental abutment forms with no axial wall were evaluated: Form 1 was the occlusal surface reduced by 1.5mm, Forms 2 and 3 were the crown cut perpendicular to the tooth axis 2mm or 4mm from the central groove. The restorations were made of 3 types of materials: composite resin, porcelain, and a gold-based alloy. Restorations were bonded to the abutments with an adhesive resin. A vertical load of 500N was applied to the center of the inner incline of the buccal cusp. The stresses in the adhesives were largest in Form 1 with composite resin and in Form 3. It was indicated that the stresses were greatly affected by the form of the abutment and the restorative materials.
