[The mathematical modelling and computation of the stressed-deformed state of metal-ceramic dentures]

The SPLEN-K (INZOMA) computing system, based on the mathematical model of a heterogeneous elastic body with linear plastic reinforcement helps estimate the design of coated dentures with due consideration for the individual features of the jaws and teeth, articulation, and occlusion. The open module type of this system permits its modifications and improvements, allows introduction of individual changes in the planned denture design, helps rapidly estimate the changes in the strained-deformed state and assess the correctness of the result from the computed data. The reliability of estimations was assessed in special tests. Practical results of theoretical studies are adequate to clinical and experimental data.
