Strain energy density (SED) shown for every load case of tested configurations. A Splinted crowns configurations. B Bridge configurations. C Single crowns configurations. Deformation scale factor: 600 ×. Values above 200% of the optimal SED are marked dark and represent the regions of overload (above 1.6 J/mm3 (dark red); 100 N applied, instead of physiological value of 500 N, rescale factor = 0.2 × 0.2 = 0.04 → SEDopt = 20 J/mm3 × 0.2 × 0.2 = 0.8 J/mm3)
