    Applying biting forces to teeth generates stress in jawbone. Distributing biting forces, especially on the marginal ridge, significantly reduces stress on the alveolar bone supporting teeth.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Biomechanics
    • Dental Mechanics

    Background:

    • Understanding stress distribution in the jawbone is crucial for dental implantology and orthodontics.
    • Previous studies have explored bone stress under various occlusal loads, but detailed analysis of load distribution is ongoing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the biomechanical response of alveolar bone to different occlusal loading conditions.
    • To quantify stress patterns in the bone supporting molars and premolars under concentrated and distributed loads.

    Main Methods:

    • Finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to model the mandible and simulate occlusal forces.
    • A concentrated load of 222 N was applied to the second molar's central fossa.
    • Distributed loads of 222 N were applied to the first and second molar region and the marginal ridge area.

    Main Results:

    • A concentrated load on the second molar generated peak stresses of 100 MN/m² at the root apex.
    • Distributing the load to the molar region reduced peak stresses by approximately 20%.
    • Distributing the load to the marginal ridge area dramatically decreased peak apical stress to 40 MN/m².

    Conclusions:

    • The location and distribution of occlusal forces significantly influence stress patterns in the supporting alveolar bone.
    • Distributing occlusal loads, particularly to the marginal ridge, can substantially mitigate peak stresses at the tooth root apex.
    • These findings have implications for designing dental prosthetics and understanding occlusal trauma.
