Does the flatting of the curve of spee affect the chewing force distribution in the mandible? (3D finite element study)

OBJECTIVE: To search the effects of Curve of Spee (COS) flatting on the stresses and displacement on the different mandible landmarks and lower teeth during posterior teeth loading using three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three-dimensional hemi mandibular model wa...
