Summary:The finite element method used to study stress generated in a maxillary second premolar as a result of occlusal forces. This mathematical technique has been applied extensively in structural engineering and structural mechanics. It is well suited to the analysis of stress in teeth and dental restorations because it can closely simulate the geometries, loads, and material inhomogeneities in the system being studied.
