Abstract:

Background and Aim: Implant-supported overdentures are a treatment option for edentulous patients. One of the important factors in determining the prognosis of overdenture treatment is to control the distribution of stress in the implant-bone and attachment complex. This study assessed the effect of implant abutment height difference on stress distribution in mandibular overdentures. Materials and Methods: In this study, three models of mandibular overdentures were designed independently using finite element analysis (FEA). The implants were placed at different height levels relative to the adjacent implant (1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm). A 100 N load was applied to the overdenture, and the software was programmed for stress analysis in the models. The load was applied bilaterally, unilaterally, vertically, and obliquely. Finally, the von Misses stresses were produced numerically, color-coded, and compared among the models. Results: The models in which the implants had up to 2 mm height difference with each other showed better stress distribution than the model with 3 mm height difference between the implants. In all conditions, the implant neck showed the high-est concentration of stress among all areas of the implant. Lower stress levels were found in the cancellous bone than the cortical bone in different loading conditions. Conclusion: Lower Von Mises stress values were found in the models with up to 2 mm difference in implant height, and higher stress values were noted in the cortical bone and the implant neck compared with trabecular bone.

Effect of Abutment Angulation and Material on Stress and Strain Distributions in Premaxillary Bone: A Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis

Background and Aim: Dental implants with angled abutments are often inserted in the anterior maxillary region due to the status of the residual ridge and aesthetic considerations. The purpose of this study was to assess stress and strain distributions in the premaxillary bone around dental implants by means of finite element analysis (FEA). Materials and Methods: Four three-dimensional (3D) fi...

The Effect of Post Material on Stress Distribution in Mandibular Second Premolar Tooth by Finite Element Analysis

Introduction: The restoration material commonly used as core material for pulpless posterior teeth is mostly amalgam due to its high strength and low cost and it can be used with or without pin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of post material on stress distribution in mandibular second premolar tooth by finite element analysis. Method: The stress distribution was analyzed i...

Influence of three different implant thread designs on stress distribution: A three-dimensional finite element analysis

PURPOSE Clinical success of implant prosthodontics is dependent in part upon the type of implant thread design. The selection of implant thread design plays an important role in the outcome of the treatment. This study was undertaken to evaluate the pattern of stress distribution using a finite element analysis; hence, the area which would be bearing maximum load for a given design would be arr...

Influence of Number of Implants and Attachment Type on Stress Distribution in Mandibular Implant-Retained Overdentures: Finite Element Analysis

AIM This study aimed to compare the stresses generated by using two or four root form dental implants supporting mandibular overdentures that were retained with ball and locator attachments. METHODS Under ANSYS environment, four 3D finite element models were prepared. These models simulated complete overdentures supported by two or four implants with either ball or locator attachments as a co...
