Designing Natural-Tooth-Shaped Dental Implants based on Soft-Kill Option Optimization

Abstract

The research describes the extension of the Axiomatic Design model to incorporate the aesthetic design as the customer requirement. It also proposes a computational model to support the formalization of aesthetic design in industrial products. The methodology takes into account the cognition process during the design generation and captures this behavior in a group theoretic structure. This approach leads to application of Axiomatic Design paradigm to the domain of the aesthetics. The proposed framework is implemented and validated by taking a design case of the consumer products.

Automated image-guided surgery for common and complex dental implants

“…However, this basic design causes instability, especially for large molar cases. Natural-root-formed dental implants with single-and double-roots were designed as described in our earlier publication, and were proven to offer better stress distribution via Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis [15]. The shapes of such novel implants are given in Figure 2.…”

“…As proposed in our earlier publication [15], naturalroot-formed dental implants mimic the structures of the root portions of human teeth providing superior stress distribution than current cylinder-shape implants. However, such novel implants have more complicated geometry than the cylinder-shape implants and manual site preparation would be impossible.…”

Tribocorrosion of 3D printed dental implants: An overview

“…Consequently, AM is now widely regarded as the future of custom-made implants and has become a central focus in pioneering research within the dental implant domain. 93 The history of using 3D printing for dental implants dates back to the early 2000s when researchers and dental professionals first began exploring its potential in revolutionizing implant manufacturing with high precision. 94 A diverse range of 3D printing techniques are readily accessible in the market.…”

Effects of Custom-Made and Thread Dental Implant Systems on the Stress Distribution in Alveolar Bone: A 3-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis

“…All materials used in the models were considered isotropic, homogeneous and linearly elastic. The mechanical properties used for the FE simulation were taken from literatures and experiments [10,11] as shown in Table 1. The thread dental implant system was discretized with 272616 nodes and 134369 elements.…”
