The biomechanics of the bone and of metal, Zantex and PEEK bars in normal and osteoporotic condition, surrounding implants over protocols: an analysis by the Finite Element Method

This study aims to assess the biomechanical behavior of alveolar bone surrounding implants over protocol with metal, Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and Zantex bars, in normal osteoporotic conditions. For simulation, geometric models mandibular arch were designed containing 5 two variables. The first variable is condition - osteoporotic-, second material used bars – PEEK Zantex. Simulation was performed using Finite Elements Method. Results showed that largest load peaks concentrated medullary bone, both subjected more loads than all simulated structures. are generally effective dissipators, showing better performance Ni-Cr types bone. It important its relationship protocol-type prostheses infrastructure.
