Department of Cariology and Endodontology, University of Nijmegen, PO Box 9101, 6500 HB Nijmegen A theoretical axisymmetric tooth model, simulating the conditions involved in the drinking of a liquid of a certain temperature, was compared with results of a similar in vivo experiment. The temperature changes as a result of one draught of a hot/cold liquid were recorded within the model as well as in the surrounding environment. The experimental data obtained were compared with the calculated results for the theoretical model as determined by the Finite Element Analysis. The temperatures recorded experimentally agreed reasonably with the calculated results. It can be concluded that the assumptions which have been made concerning the described thermal loading conditions lead to a good approximation of the physical reality.
