Abstract
A finite element analysis was carried out to analyse the stress variations in a mandibular posterior fixed partial denture (FPD), made of recast nickel-chromium alloy. A two dimensional finite element model was developed and then analysed with STAAD III/ISDS program with an occlusal load of 1 kg applied to the casting surface. The analysis revealed that the connectors experienced maximum stresses and the generated stress values decreased within the fixed partial denture made of recast Ni-Cr alloy. It seemed unlikely that FPD inspite of being made of recast alloy might fail before the other tissue components show signs of degeneration thus establishing the potential for recycling the Ni-Cr alloy in actual dental practice.
