Numerical model of thermal necrosis due a dental drilling process. In 2nd International Conference on Biodental Engineering. p. 69-73.

The finite element method was used with Ansys program for the transient thermal analysis. Also an experimental process is explained to determine the thermal occurrence in a pork mandible. The in-crease of temperature produced during the drilling is compared using the two different methodologies. According the obtained results, the numerical model could be a technique to induce appropriated results with-out using in-vivo models.engDrilling processNumerical modelconference object10.1201/b15986-15
