Influence of non carious cervical lesions depth, loading point application and restoration on stress distribution pattern in lower premolars: a 2D finite element analysis

The aim of this study was to analyze the biomechanical behavior of lower premolars regarding the non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL) depth, load type and restoration status, using finite element analysis. Two-dimensional virtual model simulating a healthy lower premolar were created using the CAD sof...
