The mechanical properties of human dentin for 3-D finite element modeling: Numerical and analytical evaluation Wojciech Grzebieluch, Romuald Będziński, Tomasz Czapliński, Urszula Kaczmarek Abstract Background. The FEM is often used in investigations of dentin loading conditions; however, its anisotropy is mostly neglected. Objectives. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the anisotropy and the...
