BACKGROUND:The location of residual dentin may affect stress distribution of tooth root. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To make a three-dimensional finite element analysis of gold al oy post-core and al-ceramic crown in the repair of structure defects of the mandibular first molar, and to provide a guideline for planning restoration for such kind of tooth structure defects. ＜br> METHODS:Three-dimensional finite element models of the restored first mandibular molars were constructed by CT image reconstruction technique. Then MIMICS software was used to separate the areas and finish the three-dimensional calculation. GEOMAGIC software was also applied to modify and generate a NURBS surface in each patch. Al components of the models were assembled under the ANSYS preprocessor. The Mohr strength theory was applied for comparing the maximum Mohr stress value of dentin and stress concentration areas in six models under different simulating loads. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The restoration effects in six models were compared, the maximum Mohr stress value of dentin and stress concentration areas were not obviously different. The location of residual dentin has little influence on the stress value and distribution, when restored by gold al oy post-core and and al-ceramic crown.

Objective To compare the clinical value of nerve stimulator-versus ultrasound-guided continuous femoral nerve block for analgesia after laparoscopic surgery.Methods Forty patients,aged 18-60 yr,with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m2,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery,were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:nerve stimulator group (group S) and ultrasound group (group U).Epidural anesthesia was performed with 1.73 ％ carbonated lidocaine in both groups.0.2％ ropivacaine 5 ml/h was infused continuously after surgery to perform femoral nerve block for analgesia.VAS score at rest was assessed at 2,6,24 and 48 h after surgery.At 24 and 48 h after surgery,VAS scores during active and passive movement were assessed.The time for catheter placement near the femoral nerve and development of subcutaneous hematoma at the puncture site,local anesthetic intoxication and nausea and vomiting were recorded.The postoperative requirement for analgesics was also recorded.Results There was no significant difference in the VAS scores and puncture for femoral nerve block-and local anesthetics-related adverse events between the two groups.The time for catheter placement near the femoral nerve was 8.0 ± 1.4 and (6.7 ± 0.9) min in S and U groups,respectively,and the time was significantly longer in group S than in group U.No patients required rescue analgesic after surgery in both groups.Conclusion Nerve stimulator-guided continuous femoral nerve block provides higher clinical value than ultrasound-guided continuous femoral nerve block for analgesia after laparoscopic surgery and it is more suitable for clinical application.
