    This study used photoelastic analysis to measure stresses from removable partial dentures in jaw models. Results showed stress variations, highlighting challenges in analyzing complex anatomical structures.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Dental Biomechanics
    • Photoelasticity

    Background:

    • Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are common prosthetics.
    • Understanding stress distribution in mandibular bone is crucial for RPD design.
    • Photoelastic stress analysis offers a method to visualize stress patterns.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify stresses induced in mandibular models by a conventional free-end saddle RPD.
    • To evaluate the feasibility and challenges of using frozen-stress photoelasticity for complex anatomical models.

    Main Methods:

    • Four quasi-anatomical mandibular models and calibration specimens were used.
    • Frozen-stress photoelastic techniques were applied under simulated loading conditions.
    • Maximum shear stress values were calculated using a polariscope.

    Main Results:

    • An unloaded control model showed minimal stress.
    • Loaded models with RPDs exhibited stress variations up to 28% of the mean.
    • Calibration specimens yielded consistent material fringe values.

    Conclusions:

    • Photoelastic analysis can reveal stress patterns in RPDs.
    • Significant variations in stress results were observed in complex anatomical models.
    • Interpretation of photoelastic results from intricate models requires caution.
