Computational Fluid Dynamics and Its Solicitation in Dentistry and Its Various Divisions – An Update and Review of Literature

Abstract

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a part of fluid mechanics that uses numerical means and algorithms to anticipate and resolve problems associated with fluid flow (gas or liquid). Boundary conditions that are set, intends to mimic the clinical condition. Fluid flow dynamics in the various aspects of the biological systems such as blood flow can contribute significantly to the area of research and development. Alteration in the flow dynamics in relation to gas or liquid may have important effects over the biological systems involved. The present review article aims to shed light upon the fundamental aspects of the modelling the digital clinical model or a 3-dimensional model in order to know about the behaviour of the system concerned and to acquire knowledge for carrying out future experimentation which would be beneficial in scientific field for various treatment modalities.
