Summary
This study analyzed finite element analysis (FEA) research in dentistry from 1999-2024. Key trends include dental implants and stress distribution, with endocrowns and clear aligners emerging as future frontiers.
Area of Science:
- Dental research
- Biomechanical analysis
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Background:
- Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a valuable tool for predicting stress effects in dental tissues.
- Dental researchers have utilized FEA for decades to understand tissue mechanics.
- This study provides a bibliometric overview of FEA applications in dentistry.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess research progress in dental sciences using FEA.
- To identify historical evolution, current hotspots, and future research directions in dental FEA.
- To guide future research endeavors by highlighting active areas of scientific interest.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of 2838 records from Web of Science Core Collection (1999-2024).
- Data analysis and visualization using Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace.
- Identification of publication trends, influential countries, institutions, authors, journals, and keywords.
Main Results:
- The USA is the most active country, and Universidade Estadual Paulista is the leading institution.
- Dental implants, stress distribution, and fracture are trending research keywords.
- Endocrowns, clear aligners, and posterior edentulism represent emerging research frontiers.
Conclusions:

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Imagine a bucket of water. It contains many molecules, of the order of 1026 molecules. Thus, although it contains discrete elements (molecules) at the microscopic level, macroscopically, it can be considered continuous. Small volume elements of water, infinitesimal compared to the bulk of the bucket's volume, still contain many molecules. Under this framework, quantized matter is approximated as continuous for practical purposes.

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...
