Objective :
To compare the stress distribution of residual posterior root restored with a new titanium alloy post of different diameter and taper, and discuss the rational design of posterior tooth post by the three-dimensional finite element method.
Methods :
Mandibular second premolar image data was obtained by CBCT, and the mandibular second premolar post models with different diameter and taper were established with the help of Mimics data conversion, Geomagic Studio image processing technology and Creo/Parametric software. Then Abaqus was used to simulate the load condition of prosthesis and analyze the Von Mises stress of the cervical and apical regions.
Results:
With the same diameter, the influence of the different post tapers on the peak stress of the root cervical area was irregular. When the taper was the same, the peak stress of the root apex area decreased firstly and then increased as the diameter increased. When the diameter was 1 mm, the peak stress of the root cervical and apex area was the lowest.
Conclusion
The effect of diameter on the stress distribution of dentin is more important than that of taper. To select the reasonable diameter and taper of the post is helpful to reduce the peak stress of the root cervical and apex area.

Objective:To analyze the relationship between each dimension of emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication ability, and explore how to improve the interpersonal communication ability of residents through targeted emotional intelligence training.Methods:A total of 132 first-year residents of clinical medicine in the residency training base were jointly measured with emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication evaluation scale on the basis of self-assessment and grading. The differences between groups in self-assessment and grading were detected by one-way ANOVA, and the relationship between various dimensions of emotional intelligence and interpersonal communication ability was explored by correlation analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis. SPSS 19.0 was used to conduct statistical analysis.Results:The self rating scale clearly divided the subjects into three levels. In the total score of emotional intelligence and its various dimensions, the differences between the three levels were statistically significant; the scores of the "good" group were higher than those of the "fair" group and the "slightly insufficient" group. There were statistical significance in the total score of emotional intelligence ( P<0.001) and its emotional perception ( P<0.001), self emotional management ( P<0.001), others' emotional management ( P<0.001) and emotional utilization ( P<0.001). In the total score of interpersonal communication ability and its various dimensions, the differences among the three levels were statistically significant. In the conflict management, the difference between the "good" group and the "fair" group was not statistically significant, and the differences in other items were statistically significant. The total score of emotional intelligence and its dimensions were positively correlated with interpersonal communication ability ( P<0.001), but the two dimensions that had the most significant impact on interpersonal communication ability were emotional perception and others' emotional management ( R2=0.531, P<0.001). Conclusion:By focusing on the cultivation of each dimensions of emotional perception and other emotional management for residents, it is expected to play a positive role in achieving the national goal of cultivating interpersonal communication skills.
