OBJECTIVE This paper was to construct three-dimensional finite element model of rat molar, and to access mechanical stress distribution in the tooth and periodontia. METHODS The first maxillary molar of adult rat was moved for 2 weeks with initial force of 40 g and 100 g. The histological specimen of tooth and surrounding structures were sectioned serially at 4 microns-thick slices in the coronary direction. The section's microscopic photographic images were made every 140 microns. The structural information of images was traced and fed into computer for three-dimensional reconstruction of the structure and finite element model. RESULTS The stress distribution in periodontia which lies between tooth and alveolar bone was very complicated. CONCLUSIONS The three-dimensional finite element model of rat molar is simple, precise, and effective for analyzing stress in tooth and periodontia.

D008963 Molar The most posterior teeth on either side of the jaw, totaling eight in the deciduous dentition (2 on each side, upper and lower), and usually 12 in the permanent dentition (three on each side, upper and lower).
