The combination of complex structures and diverse materials, restricts our knowledge of the biomechanics of teeth. In this sense, finite element analysis (FEA) is a method used in engineering and biomechanical studies to estimate the performance and changes produced by regimes of stress and strain in mechanic structures or the human skeleton, as well as in soft tissues. On only rare occasions it is applied to the problem of biomechanical design in animals and even less in fossil groups. In this work, we advance the preliminary results obtained on creating a complete complex 3D finite element model of the tooth of an extinct deer in order to test its functionality and mechanical properties.
