Figure 3
Displacement (panel above) and von Mises stresses (panel below) at (a). 0 gms, (b). 30 gms (c). 60 gms and (d). 140 gms of force. The warmer colors depict increase in the amount and distribution of the stress and displacement and shows stresses concentrated at the apex of the TSAD and at the coronal contact area between the TSAD and the bone.
