The effect of prism orientation and loading direction on contact stresses in prismatic enamel: implications for interpreting wear patterns
No === The ability of prisms to effectively dissipate contact stress at the surface will influence wear rates in teeth. The aim of this investigation was to begin to quantify the effect of prism orientation on surface stresses. Seven finite element models of enamel microstructure were created, each...
