Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture-resistant monolithic dental crowns.
TL;DR: The results confirm that monolithic crowns are able to sustain high bite forces and indicates what material and geometrical properties are important in optimizing crown performance and longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics of longitudinal cracks in tooth enamel
TL;DR: A study is made of longitudinal "channel" cracking in tooth enamel from axial compressive loading that leaves "fingerprints" that offer valuable clues to dietary habits, and provide a basis for a priori prediction of bite forces for different animals from measured tooth dimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of property gradients on enamel fracture in human molar teeth.
TL;DR: A model for the fracture of tooth enamel with graded elastic modulus and toughness is constructed using an extended finite element modeling (XFEM) package, demonstrating that the crack fronts become more segmented as the property gradients become more pronounced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inferring biological evolution from fracture patterns in teeth
TL;DR: It is hypothesised that specific tooth forms are adapted to resist fracture, in order to accommodate the high bite forces needed to secure, break down and consume food.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanics analysis of molar tooth splitting
TL;DR: The fracture evolution is shown to be stable prior to failure, so that dentin toughness, not strength, is the controlling material parameter.
