A computational design method utilizes topology optimization to identify optimal E-glass reinforcement placement within PMMA complete lower jaw dentures. This approach leads to a substantial reduction in denture displacement, decreasing average displacement by approximately 44% and maximum displacement by 11% compared to non-reinforced dentures.
Key insights
- Topology optimization can effectively determine optimal, non-intuitive reinforcement patterns for complex multi-material dental prostheses.
- Automating the design of denture reinforcement through computational methods offers a more efficient and robust alternative to manual, parametric approaches.
- Strategic placement of a stronger material in mechanically critical regions of the denture significantly improves its overall stiffness under simulated biting forces.
