Abstract

To evaluate the pattern of stress dissipation underneath the complete denture with various angled posterior teeth in both maxillary and mandibular arch. A 3D finite element models of residual ridge, mucosa, denture base in the coronal section were created from the dentures obtained from a patient, which were scanned and modeled. The coronal portion of the teeth was altered to stimulate the cuspal inclination of 0°, 20° and 33°, thus making the models. Special area of interest in bone, denture were selected to record the stresses. An vertical static load of 100N was applied through the mandibular model to the maxillary model. von Mises stresses developed in all the models were interpreted. Statistical analysis for comparison of stress values with different variables (0°–20°, 0°–33°, and 20°–33°) in various predefined areas of coronal section model was done using Student’s t test (paired). Stress of greater magnitude were observed with cuspal teeth i.e. 33° and 20°, where as 0° showed slightly less magnitude of stresses.
