Another Approach for Calculus of a Statically Determined Beam with Cantilever and with One Intermediate Support for Application of a Dental Bridge with Mesial Extension and One Missing Tooth through the Transfer-Matrix Method

The problem of continuous beams with intermediate support treated through the Transfer-Matrix Method is very special and interesting. This paper presents a study for an application of a statically determinate beam with cantilever and with an intermediate support. This approach is applied in orthodontics. The application of this research was made for a case study of a dental bridge with two adjacent poles and with only one missing tooth, because dental restorations are very important not only from an aesthetic point of view, but especially for mastication and therefore, for the health of the entire human body. A case study was presented of a dental bridge in mesial extension assimilated with a statically determined beam with cantilever and with an intermediate support. The two poles of the dental bridge are assimilated as the edges of the beam and the missing tooth is the cantilever. The calculus and results were validated with those from the classical calculus in the Strength of Materials. In the future, through the Transfer-Matrix Method, other new and original case studies with different modeling and requests will be presented.
