A simulation model for transient thermal analysis of restored teeth

J. H. de Vree, T. A. Spierings and A. J. Plasschaert

A theoretical model was developed to analyze the influence of various cement bases on temperature distribution and heat flow in restored teeth. A physical model of a molar was developed to simulate different thermal processes by simple parameter variation. The time-dependent temperature field was calculated using the finite element method (FEM). The values for material properties and thermal load were chosen from the dental literature. The results are in good agreement with clinical experimental research as published by Trowbridge et al. It is concluded that the model is a valid tool for further research with regard to the influence of restorative materials and cavity design on the thermal behavior of restored teeth.
