This study aimed to evaluate the use of bioengineering tools, finite element analysis, strain gauge analysis, photoelastic analysis, and digital image correlation, in computational studies with greater validity and reproducibility. A bibliographic search was performed in the main health databases PUBMED and Scholar Google, in which different studies, among them, laboratory studies, case reports, systematic reviews, and literature reviews, which were developed in living individuals, were included. Therefore, articles that did not deal with the use of finite element analysis, strain gauge analysis, photoelastic analysis, and digital image correlation were excluded, as well as their use in computational studies with greater validity and reproducibility. According to the methodological analysis, it is observed that the average publication of articles in the Pubmed database was 2.03 and with a standard deviation of 1.89. While in Google Scholar, the average was 0.78 and the standard deviation was 0.90. Thus, it is possible to verify that there was a significant variation in the number of articles in the two databases. Modern dentistry finds in finite element analysis, strain gauge, photoelastic and digital image correlation a way to analyze the biomechanical behavior in dental materials to obtain results that assist to obtain rehabilitations with favorable prognosis and patient satisfaction.

Introduction: In cases where there is an association of two or more diseases, it’s complex to improve individual’s well-being and quality of life, especially when these diseases have a bidirectional relation, as observed between diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease. Aim: The present study aims to review the literature on the relation between Diabetes Mellitus and Periodontal Disease, identifying the main aspects and pathognomonic characteristics.Conclusion:Due to the exposed in the literature on the interrelation of diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease, further studies are needed for a better understanding of the subject, knowing that the interdisciplinary approach is very important for the patient to have a better quality of life.
