This book creates the theoretical foundation that novices need to perform the finite element method in implant dentistry. It shows how both the implant dentist and the designer can benefit from finite element analysis. The authors explain the theory and math of the finite element method. Then, you get practical applications alongside discussions of the critical issues in using finite element analysis for dental implant design.
