Influence of occlusal loading type and cyclic fatigue on the mechanical behavior of sound maxillary premolars: a laboratory and 3D finite element analysis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study evaluated the influence of different occlusal loading and cyclic fatigue on the biomechanical behavior of sound maxillary premolars using three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FE) and strain-gauge tests. The 3D models were submitted to two occlusal loading (150 N): axial load (AL) and oblique load (OL), applied at the inner ridges. Dynamic fatigue was simulated in post-processing and analyzed by life criterion. For the experimental laboratory test, 30 sound premolars with similar dimensions had two strain gauges positioned parallel to the long axis of enamel and dentin to record the strains under AL and OL loading, before and after mechanical fatigue. FE maximum principal criteria showed higher stress concentration in the cervical enamel and dentin for OL (67.26 MPa and 17.43 MPa, respectively) compared to AL (0.87 MPa and 0.02 MPa, respectively). The equivalent elastic strain criterion showed higher strain values in dentin for OL (1.77e-4). The FE fatigue simulation showed higher damage for enamel near the cementoenamel junction with OL, predicting a lifespan of less than 200,000 cycles. Strain-gauge analysis showed that OL loading and mechanical fatigue resulted in higher strains, both enamel (p<0.001) and dentin (p<0.001). Very strong (0.927) and weak (0.184) correlations were found between the number of cycles and strain magnitude for enamel (p<0.0001) and dentin (p=0.0374), respectively. Non-axial occlusal loading, combined with cyclic mechanical fatigue, promotes high stress and strain concentration in the cervical enamel and dentin of sound premolars, potentially causing more damage to dental structures.
