Abstract:
This study presents the stress analysis of the mandibular first premolar tooth restored with an all-ceramic crown under thermal loading as a result of hot/cold liquid intake to the mouth using the three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA). In the first step of the study, the temperature changes as a result of hot/cold liquid intake were calculated. The thermal stress distributions because of the temperature changes were then obtained. Thermal loads ranging from 60 to 15 degrees C were applied on all prepared models. The distribution of temperature and stress were plotted for some critical points which were the transition points of strain to tension or tension to strain when hot or cold liquids were consumed. The changes in oral temperature cause thermal fatigue and the material stability might be negatively affected. According to the thermal tension results in the present study, IPS Empress, Carrara press ceramic and Ceramco FAC all-ceramic materials exhibited different values while IPS Empress 2 material showed similar properties to that of enamel.

The process begins by slicing the tube at critical points and analyzing the internal forces and stress components at these sections, focusing on the centroid. Normal stresses, generated by axial forces and bending moments, are either compressive or tensile and vary across the section from...
Thermal expansion and Thermal stress: Problem Solving
To solve the problem, first, identify the known and unknown quantities. The initial length (L) of the bridge is 1275 m, the coefficient of linear expansion (α) for steel is 12 x 10-6/°C, and the change in temperature (ΔT) is 55 °C.
