Abstract:
Strain elastography, a non-invasive imaging technique complements traditional diagnostic methods by offering quantitative and qualitative information about soft and hard tissues within the oral cavity. The article aimed to provide an overview of the currently available data on the use of strain elastography in dentistry. To support the review of strain elastography applications in dentistry, a wide range of articles was searched using both online and offline databases. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were defined according to the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Study Design (PICOS) approach. The results show that 12 of the 107 papers found to be eligible for inclusion in a qualitative examination of the use of strain elastography in dentistry satisfied the PICOS criteria. Elastography is a promising tool for diagnosing various dental diseased conditions, but sufficient evidence is not available. More studies on a larger population should be performed to determine its accuracy in diagnosis.

Strain Energy
Consider a rod that is fixed at one end and subjected to an axial force at the free end. This axial force induces stress within the rod, leading to its elongation. As the axial force increases, so does the elongation of the rod, illustrating a direct relationship between the force applied and the resulting...
