Finite element analysis of six endosseous implants

Application of the finite element method in dental implant research

“…The ultimate aim during implantation is to achieve the optimum stress profile within the surrounding jawbone. Rieger et al 20 and O'Mahony et al 36 both assumed that the target stress level for maximum bone growth occurs at 250psi (1.72 MPa) levelling off to a control level at 400psi (2.76 MPa). The stresses depend on both the size and shape of the implant, and hence efforts were made to optimise implant geometry to maintain the beneficial stress level in a variety of loading scenarios.…”

“…4,5 It is showing overwhelming capability and versatility in its application in dentistry. [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] This paper reviews past and current practices in the finite element analysis of dental implants. The achievements and limitations of the existing analysis are discussed and the gap in research is identified.…”

Finite element analysis of the stress distributions in peri-implant bone in modified and standard-threaded dental implants

“…[1] Based on length and diameter, dental implant-thread design has an important role in terms of the biomechanics of dental implants. [7,8] Therefore, this study, unlike our previous work, investigated the effect of implant-thread geometry on the stress distributions in two different threaded dental implant systems that have the same diameter and length.…”

Load Transfer Along the Bone-Implant Interface and Its Effects on Bone Maintenance

“…Holmgren et al (1998) reported that the stepped implant design levels out the stress distribution better than a cylindrical design. Rieger et al (1989aRieger et al ( , 1990aRieger et al ( , 1990b investigated the effect of implant geometry and the elastic modulus of the implant materials on the stress distribution for different implant designs. A tapered design made of a material with high elastic modulus was concluded to be the most suitable design in their study.…”
