More Information
Summary:A dental bridge, designed in STL format on a Dental Scanner software, was covered with the porcelain layer in 3-matic Design ©Materialise NV. FEA simulations were made in ANSYS ® Workbench TM ©SAS, Inc. Firstly, was performed the thermal analysis with the Transient Thermal module, and secondly, the structural static analysis with the Static Structural module. The applied masticatory force was of 300 N, and the studied temperatures were 36°C as reference and, as extremes, 0° and 50°C. The purpose was to determine mechanical effects in the bridge structure for a specific design of the dental bridge geometry in order to optimize its design.
