Investigation of wear on restorative dental materials by experimental and finite elements methods

The wear of materials causes very serios problems in many industaries and it can be one of the costliest issues if there is no sistamatic prevention. Gradual wear of opposing teeth is a normal phenomenon in human dentition. To ensure a higher quality of life through dental health, there is a need for quality dental restorative materials to repair or replace natural teeth. Calculate the wear on the system and material elements in recent years has been made possible with experimental method and the FEM. On this occasion, the future material losses and economic hardships are quite preventable. In this study, wear analysis of tooth restorative materials was performed experimentally and numerically (FEM). Wear in restorative dental materials is studied by the experimental and finite element methods, the Indirect composites, Nanohybrids, Micro-Hybrids, Resin nanoceramics and Feldespatiks show better resistance against wear, respectively.
