Use of 3D finite element models to analyze the influence of alveolar bone height on tooth mobility and stress distribution

Background/purpose: In this study, we investigated the von Mises stress distribution on three types of teeth with different peripheral alveolar bone heights and displacements in the vertical and lateral directions of the teeth when forces were applied to it. When a tooth was bearing an occlusal forc...
