Abstract Background Stress concentration may cause bone resorption even lead to the failure of implantation. This study was designed to investigate whether a certain sagittal root position could cause stress concentration around maxillary anterior custom-made root-analogue implants via three-dimensional finite element analysis. Methods The von Mises stresses in the bone around implants in different groups were compared by finite element analysis. Six models were constructed and divided into two groups through Geomagic Studio 2012 software. The smooth group included models of unthreaded custom-made implants in Class I, II or III sagittal root positions. The threaded group included models of reverse buttress-threaded implants in the three positions. The von Mises stress distributions and the range of the stresses under vertical and oblique loads of 100 N were analyzed through ANSYS 16.0 software. Results Stress concentrations around the labial lamella area were more prominent in the Class I position than in the Class II and Class III positions under oblique loading. Under vertical loading, the most obvious stress concentration areas were the labial lamella and palatal apical areas in the Class I and Class III positions, respectively. Stress was relatively distributed in the labial and palatal lamellae in the Class II position. The maximum von Mises stresses in the bone around the custom-made root-analogue implants in this study were lower than around traditional implants reported in the literature. The maximum von Mises stresses in this study were all less than 25 MPa in cortical bone and less than 6 MPa in cancellous bone. Additionally, compared to the smooth group, the threaded group showed lower von Mises stress concentration in the bone around the implants. Conclusions The sagittal root position affected the von Mises stress distribution around custom-made root-analogue implants. There was no certain sagittal root position that could cause excessive stress concentration around the custom-made root-analogue implants. Among the three sagittal root positions, the Class II position would be the most appropriate site for custom-made root-analogue implants.

This paper studies the possibility of using SHELL elements on structures that are usually designed using BEAM or BAR elements. Using SHELL elements in such structures, named reticulated structures, opens the possibility to remove material from the structures’ members by adding holes. Once the members get holes, the final weight of the structure and material consumption will drop. In order to develop the study, a total of three different structures were analyzed using the software ANSYS®. This software uses the Finite Element Method to solve the equations originated from the designed structure upon it is meshed and the boundary conditions are set. Several results between SHELL and SOLID elements for each one of the structures were compared. The comparison of SHELL model with a SOLID model is used as a verification process, for SOLID elements are known to return accurate values. All of the meshes were tested by the independence mesh study to check its convergence. It is shown that the results are in a very good acceptable range with differences no bigger than 0.1 mm for displacements, and the map of von Mises stresses are pretty similar. Von Mises stresses for Finite Element Analysis for the C-Shaped Truss are shown in a figure comparing the results between the two finite elements used. This figure shows that there are no major differences between the SHELL and SOLID analyses. The Finite Element Analyses results were compared to analytical solutions, also. In this case, a noticeable difference in one structure for von Mises Stress was found. This difference, however, is understandable and reasonable, given the works presented on this paper.

Introduction The aim of the study was to propose an ideal plating design for fractures running through the mental foramen. Methods The study compared three plating designs—two four-hole miniplates, 2 × 2-hole three-dimensional (3D) plate, and modified 2 × 2-hole 3D plate (posterior strut removed)—using finite element analysis. Von Mises stresses generated around the plates and bone were measured, as well as the mobility that is generated between the fracture fragments by applying muscle forces to generate bite force in one test and applying a force of 500 N over the premolars and first molar region in the second test. Results Von Mises stress in bone with miniplates measured 9.24 MPa in test 1 and 131.99 MPa in test 2. The stress with unmodified 3D plates measured 34.9 MPa in test 1 and150.03 MPa in test 2. The stress with modified 3D plates measured 24.98 MPa in test 1 and 150.59 MPa in test 2. Von Mises stress on the plates and screws measured 28.23 MPa, 95.97 MPa, 72.93 MPa in test 1 and 458.63 MPa, 779.01 MPa, 742.39 MPa in test 2 on miniplates, unmodified 3D plates, and modified 3D plates, respectively. The fracture mobility generated in the model with miniplates measured 0.001 mm in test 1 and 0.01 mm in test 2 and 0.007 mm and 0.02 mm in the model with unmodified 3D plates in test 1 and in test 2, respectively. In the model with modified 3D plates, the value was 0.001 mm and 0.01 mm in tests 1 and 2, respectively. Conclusion The ideal plate design is the two-plate technique with minimal stress generation on the bone and the hardware. The modified 3D plate has adequate strength to be used in the region but needs to be studied in detail.

Objectives: The success of implant treatment depends on many factors affecting the bone-implant, implant-abutment, and abutment-prosthesis interfaces. Stress distribution in bone plays a major role in success/failure of dental implants. This study aimed to assess the pattern of stress distribution in bone and abutment-implant interface under static and cyclic loadings using finite element analysis (FEA). Materials and Methods: In this study, ITI implants (4.1×12 mm) placed at the second premolar site with Synocta abutments and metal-ceramic crowns were simulated using SolidWorks 2007 and ABAQUS software. The bone-implant contact was assumed to be 100%. The abutments were tightened with 35 Ncm preload torque according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Static and cyclic loads were applied in axial (116 Ncm), lingual (18 Ncm), and mesiodistal (24 Ncm) directions. The maximum von Mises stress and strain values ​​were recorded. Results: The maximum stress concentration was at the abutment neck during both static and cyclic loadings. Also, maximum stress concentration was observed in the cortical bone. The loading stress was higher in cyclic than static loading. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that the level of stress in single-unit implant restorations is within the tolerable range by bone.

The aim of the present investigation was to calculate the stress distribution generated in the root dentine canal during mechanical rotation of five different NiTi endodontic instruments by means of a finite element analysis (FEA). Two conventional alloy NiTi instruments F360 25/04 and F6 Skytaper 25/06, in comparison to three heat treated alloys NiTI Hyflex CM 25/04, Protaper Next 25/06 and One Curve 25/06 were considered and analyzed. The instruments’ flexibility (reaction force) and geometrical features (cross section, conicity) were previously investigated. For each instrument, dentine root canals with two different elastic moduli(18 and 42 GPa) were simulated with defined apical ratios. Ten different CAD instrument models were created and their mechanical behaviors were analyzed by a 3D-FEA. Static structural analyses were performed with a non-failure condition, since a linear elastic behavior was assumed for all components. All the instruments generated a stress area concentration in correspondence to the root canal curvature at approx. 7 mm from the apex. The maximum values were found when instruments were analyzed in the highest elastic modulus dentine canal. Strain and von Mises stress patterns showed a higher concentration in the first part of curved radius of all the instruments. Conventional Ni-Ti endodontic instruments demonstrated higher stress magnitudes, regardless of the conicity of 4% and 6%, and they showed the highest von Mises stress values in sound, as well as in mineralized dentine canals. Heat-treated endodontic instruments with higher flexibility values showed a reduced stress concentration map. Hyflex CM 25/04 displayed the lowest von Mises stress values of, respectively, 35.73 and 44.30 GPa for sound and mineralized dentine. The mechanical behavior of all rotary endodontic instruments was influenced by the different elastic moduli and by the dentine canal rigidity.

Calibration curves of a multi-component dynamometer is of essence in machining operations in a lathe machine as they serve to provide values of force and stress components for cutting tool development and optimization. In this study, finite element analysis has been used to obtain the deflection and stress response of a two component cutting tool lathe dynamometer, for turning operation, when the cutting tool is subjected to cutting and thrust forces from 98.1N to 686.7N (10 to 70kg-wts), at intervals of 98.1N(10kg-wt). By obtaining the governing equation, modeling the dynamometer assembly, defining boundary conditions, generating the assembly mesh, and simulating in Inventor Professional; horizontal and vertical components of deflection by the dynamometer were read off for three different loading scenarios. For these three loading scenarios, calibration plots by experiment compared with plots obtained from simulation by finite element analysis gave accuracies of 79%, 95%, 84% and 36%, 57%, 63% for vertical and horizontal deflections respectively. Also, plots of horizontal and vertical components of Von Mises stress against applied forces were obtained.

In order to obtain a higher pressure capacity for the high-pressure die with a larger sample cavity, two types of two-layer split dies with a round cylinder and a quadrate cylinder were designed based on the conventional belt-type die. Finite element analysis was performed to investigate the stress distributions and pressure capacities of the high-pressure dies using a derived Mohr–Coulomb criterion and the von Mises criterion for the cylinder and supporting rings, respectively. As predicted by the finite element analysis results, in the two-layer split dies with a round cylinder, the stress state of the cylinder can be only slightly improved; and the von Mises stress of the first layer supporting ring can be hardly decreased. However, in the two-layer split dies with a quadrate cylinder and sample cavity, the stress state of the cylinder can be remarkably improved. Simultaneously, the von Mises stress of the supporting rings, especially for the first-layer supporting ring, can be also effectively decreased. The pressure capacities of the two-layer split dies with a round cylinder and a quadrate cylinder are 16.5% and 63.9% higher with respect to the conventional belt-type die.

Purpose The internal fixation plate of bone fractures by using polylactic acid (PLA) has attracted the attention of many researchers, as it is biodegradable and biocompatible to the human body. However, its brittleness has led to implant fracture. On the contrary, polypropylene carbonate (PPC), which is also biodegradable and biocompatible, has an excellent elongation at break. The purpose of this paper is to compare the PLA fixation plate with the new fixation plate made up of PLA/PPC blends by using finite element analysis (FEA). Design/methodology/approach The mandible bone from CT data set and fixation plate was designed by using the MIMICS, Amira and Solidworks softwares. Abaqus software was used for FEA of PLA/PPC fixation plate applied on the fractured mandible bone. A model of mandibular bone with a fracture in the body was subjected to incisor load. The analysis was run to determine the von Mises stress, elongation of the fixation plate and the displacement of the fractured gap of PLA/PPC blends fixation plate. Findings The von Mises stress predicted that all the blend compositions were safe to be used as a fixation plate since the stress values were less than the yield strength. In addition, the stress value of the fixation plate was gradually decreased up to 20 percent when the amount of PPC increased to 30 percent. This indicates that the stress shielding effect was successfully reduced. The elongation of the fixation plate was gradually increased from 11.54 to 12.55 µm as the amount of PPC in the blends increased from 0 to 30 percent, thereby illustrating that the flexibility of the fixation plate was improved by the addition of PPC. Finally, the measured displacement of the fractured gap for all compositions of PLA/PPC blends fixation plate is less than 150 µm, which proves the likely success of fracture fixation by using the PLA/PPC blends. Research limitations/implications An optimum solution of PLA/PPC blends and another new material such as compatibilizer need to be introduced in the blends in order to improve the performance of PLA/PPC blends as a new material for a fixation plate. Besides, by using the same method of producing PLA/PPC blends, longer durations for in vitro degradation of PLA/PPC blends are essential to further understand the degradation behavior of the blends applied in the human body. Finally, it is also important to further test the mechanical strength of PLA/PPC blends during the degradation period to know the current strength of the implant in the healing process of the bone. Practical implications PLA fixation plate and screw can commercially be used in CMF surgery since they reduce cost because of the elimination of secondary surgery to remove the fixation plate and screw after the healing process. Social implications It is hoped that the advantages of this research will ensure the market of PLA product to continue expanding in medical application. Originality/value This study is one of the alternative ways for the biomedical researchers to improve the elongation break of PLA. Currently, many researchers focus on polymeric materials such as PLA, poly(glycolic) acid and polydioxanone blends, which were extensively being used in CMF surgery. However, the work on PLA/PPC blends to be used as one of the materials for the CMF fixation plate is very limited, if any. PPC, the proposed material for this research, will improve the mechanical performance of PLA fixation plate and screw to become more sustainable and flexible when applied on human mandible bone.
