چکیده

This study selected forty-two implants with full arch implantsupported fixed prostheses (with and without a cantilever) with at least five years' loading. Radiographic measurements were performed using Digimizer software (MedCalc Software, Belgium). Bone loss was measured on the distal side of the implant, from the surface of the platform to the edge of the bone crest, and the extent of the cantilever was measured from the distal surface of the last abutment to the end of the metal structure. Three groups were formed according the length of the cantilever: G1: cantilever ≤ 15 mm; G2: cantilever >15 mm; G3: no cantilever. Types of antagonists were grouped as: RP = removable complete denture; FP = fixed implant-supported prosthesis; ND = natural dentition. Data were analyzed according to the length of the cantilever and type of antagonist using Person's test to analyze normality and Student's t-test with P ≦ 0.05. No statistically significant difference was found between G1 and G2; however, increased bone loss was observed in both cantilever groups (G1 and G2) compared to G3 (P> 0.05). The antagonist showed no significant difference in bone loss ( P ≦ 0.05). Cantilevers showed increases in marginal bone loss. The type of antagonist did not influence bone loss.

بررسی و مقایسه توزیع تنش سه بعدی به روش تجزیه اجزای محدود در استخوان ایمپلنت با شکل های مختلف قوس های بی دندانی در فک پایین

The geometric shape of dental arch (square, tapering, ovoid) is an important factor in stress distribution pattern around dental implant. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of arch form and the amount of bone loss (normal, moderate, high) in stress distribution around dental implant by considering different load direction. Three arch forms square, ovoid, and tapering with three diff...

Statement of Problem: In the treatment of edentulous patients with implant supported fixed partial dentures several factors such as implant numbers, implant position, superstructure pattern and cantilever length must be considered. Mandibular flexture in function exerts forces in peri-implant bone, however this phenomenon has received little attention. Purpose: The goal of this finite element a...

Bone level changes at implants supporting crowns or fixed partial dentures with or without cantilevers.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze whether or not a cantilever extension on a fixed dental prosthesis (FDP) supported by implants increased the amount of peri-implant bone loss or technical complications compared with reconstructions without cantilevers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-four partially dentate patients with a total of 54 FDPs supported by 78 implants were enrolled in th...

مطالعه تنش‌های اطراف ایمپلنت به روش اجزای محدود در بریج‌های با ساپورت دندان/ایمپلنت در شرایط اتصال سخت و غیرسخت در پروتزهای سمان شونده

Background and Aims: Freestanding fixed partial prosthesis is considered the first choice whenever possible. However, anatomical limitations for implants and other reasons may create situation in which it would be preferable to connect the implants to teeth. A biomechanical dilemma in a tooth/implant-supported system comes from dissimilar mobility. This disparity cause the bridge to function as...

Evaluation of the structural behavior of three and four implant-supported fixed prosthetic restorations by finite element analysis.

PURPOSE There is much controversy about the minimum number of implants and maximum cantilever length in mandible prosthetic restoration. Finite elements analysis of three and four implant-supported prostheses was performed to determine the stresses in the superstructure, implants and cortical bone and, therefore, the failure prediction for each restoration. METHODS An edentulous mandible was ...
