Abstract

The molar tooth faces different loading conditions and stresses under environments of different temperatures, these loading conditions produces a major factors in weakness of the tooth structure. In addition, this cyclic loads will generate a fatigue failure for the tooth. So that, The objective of this study is to investigate of the stresses and deformations analysis for molar tooth using finite elements method. The study investigation is completed and achieve by using Finite Element package ANSYS. Furthermore, The results are illustrated in this study to investigate the stress analysis of the molar tooth under loading conditions with different angles, and indicate that the maximum shearing stress and deformation is increased with decreasing directional angle of the applied load.
