Computational Investigation of Dental Implant Restoration Using Platform-Switched and -Matched Configurations

Dental trauma is a serious and highly prevalent health issue across the globe. Most of frequent dental injuries result in loss teeth affects overall quality life. The tooth usually compensated by implant. common methods adopted while placing implant are platform switching matching. A plethora works has studied qualitative performance these different situations clinically. However, detailed comparative work studying in-depth mechanical parameters not been attempted yet. In this computational work, two commonly available platform-switched one platform-matched implant-abutment configurations were compared. 3D model an (5.5 × 9.5 mm) was designed inserted into human mandibular bone block using computer-aided design (CAD) extracting clinical imaging data. Three separate models such as Platform Switched (PS)-I, 5.5 mm with 3.8 wide abutment, (PS)-II, 4.5 Matched (PM), 5.5-mm abutment analyzed. Clinically relevant vertical-, horizontal-, oblique-type occlusal loadings applied to each characterize response. Mechanical von Mises stresses, deformations, strain energies obtained finite element modeling (FEM). These showed lower values for within peri-implant that may help limit marginal loss. same increasing more implant, screw configuration than configuration. framework, along results, anticipated guide clinicians medical practitioners making better decisions selecting methods.
