- Abstract: BACKGROUND:Fracture strength of the affected teeth after root canal therapy is often reduced due to the loss of healthy tooth tissues.How to enhance its fracture strength has always been an issue of concern for clinicians.Finite element analysis can visually show the stresses on various parts of the tooth in different states,and provide a comprehensive analysis of the tooth structure and the mechanical properties of materials.OBJECTIVE:To review the progress in the application of finite element analysis in endodontic root canal treatment of endodontic periapical disease and to look forward to the future development trend.METHODS:Literature related to the use of finite element analysis in root canal treatment of endodontic periapical disease was searched from foreign language databases(PubMed and Web of Science)and Chinese language databases(CNKI,WanFang,VIP,and China Biomedical Literature Service System).The search terms in English were"FEA,finite element analysis,stress analysis,root canal treatment,pulp opening,root canal preparation,root canal filling,restoration"and the search terms in Chinese were"finite element analysis,stress analysis,endodontic periapical disease,root canal treatment,pulp opening,root canal preparation,root canal filling,restoration."Finally,103 articles were included in the review.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Finite element analysis can be used to analyze the stress distribution and deformation of the tooth during mastication and occlusion by constructing a finite element model of the tooth and surrounding tissues.With the help of finite element analysis,clinical researchers can analyze the effects of different types of open cavities,root canal preparation methods,root canal filling materials and restorative solutions on the mechanical properties of the tooth body in the root canal treatment of endodontic periapical diseases,so as to select the optimal treatment plan that improves therapeutic outcomes and patient prognosis.Finite element analysis helps clinicians to reduce the loss of dental tissues in clinical treatment and improve the treatment effect and patient prognosis.The finite element model is a simplification of the actual situation and needs to be analyzed comprehensively in conjunction with clinical trials.
