Abstract

This investing was carried out to evaluate the alteration of stress distribution on teeth and esthetic crowns. Analyzing the stress distribution by the two-dimensional finite element methods, a model of lower 1st molar according to the porcelain fused metal crown an the porcelain fused glass ceramic core crown and the all glass ceramic crown. 1. The pattern of stress distribution showed no apparent differences. 2. The greatest von Mises values were concentrated around the central fossa of all esthetic crowns. The greatest Maximum principle value were concentrated around the interface between the base of esthetic crown and the abutment tooth. It was found that the apatite glass ceramic could be applicable for use in dental crown prosthesis.
