Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis and Biomechanical Analysis of Midfoot von Mises Stress Levels in Flatfoot, Clubfoot, and Lisfranc Joint Injury

BACKGROUND: Zirconia has become a popular biomaterial in dental implant systems because of its biocompatible and aesthetic properties. However, this material is more fragile than titanium so its use is limited. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the stresses on morse taper implant systems under parafunctional loading in different abutment materials using three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D FEA). METHODS: Four different variations were modelled. The models were created according to abutment materials (zirconia or titanium) and loading (1000 MPa vertical or oblique on abutments). The placement of the implants (diameter, 5.0 × 15 mm) were mandibular right first molar. RESULTS: In zirconia abutment models, von Mises stress (VMS) values of implants and abutments were decreased. Maximum and minimum principal stresses and VMS values increased in oblique loading. VMS values were highest in the connection level of the conical abutments in all models. CONCLUSIONS: Using conical zirconia abutments decreases von Mises stress values in abutments and implants. However, these values may exceed the pathological limits in bruxism patients. Therefore, microfractures may be related to the level of the abutment.

The all-on-4 concept, which is used to rehabilitate edentulous patients, can present with mechanical complications such as screw loosening and fracture. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress patterns induced in the prosthetic screws by the different prosthetic screw and abutment designs in the all-on-4 concept using finite element analysis. Von Mises stress values on 6 groups of each screw type, including short and narrow screw, short abutment; short and wide screw, short abutment; long and wide screw, short abutment; short and narrow screw, long abutment; short and wide screw, long abutment; and long and wide screw, long abutment, were compared under a cantilever loading of 200 N that was applied on the farther posterior to the position of the connection between the distal implant and the metal framework. Posterior prosthetic screws showed higher stress values than anterior prosthetic screws. The stress values in posterior prosthetic screws decreased as the length and diameter increased. In conclusion, the long and wide screw design offers advantages in stress distribution when compared with the short and narrow design.

The aim of this work was to study the biomechanical behavior of an All-on-4 implant-supported prosthesis through a finite element analysis comparing 3 different tilt degrees of the distal implants. Three-dimensional finite element models of an edentulous maxilla restored with a prosthesis supported by 4 implants were reconstructed to carry out the analysis. Three distinct configurations, corresponding to 3 tilt degrees of the distal implants (15°, 30°, and 45°) were subjected to 4 loading simulations. The von Mises stresses generated around the implants were localized and quantified for comparison. Negligible differences in von Mises stress values were found in the comparison of the 15° and 30° models. From a stress-level viewpoint, the 45° model was revealed to be the most critical for peri-implant bone. In all the loading simulations, the maximum stress values were always found at the neck of the distal implants. The stress in the distal implants increased in the apical direction as the tilt degree increased. The stress location and distribution patterns were very similar among the evaluated models. The increase in the tilt degree of the distal implants was proportional to the increase in stress concentration. The 45° model induced higher stress values at the bone-implant interface, especially in the distal aspect, than the other 2 models analyzed.

Aim: This study compared the stress distributions of endodontically treated tooth restored with carbon and titanium post during different loading conditions. Methodology: A 3-dimensional finite element model was created to represent an endodontically treated maxillary central incisor tooth with its supporting structures. Stress distribution and stress values were then calculated by considering the three dimensional von Mises stress criteria. Results: A 100-N static vertical occlusal load was applied on the node at the center of occlusal surface of the tooth. The von Mises stress values for carbon post model was on the coronal third and the cervical area of the root in the range of 353.149 and 13.878 MPa, for titanium post model was 540.736 and 22.777 MPa. Conclusion: This study shows that the titanium post yields larger stresses than the carbon post. How to cite this article: Adıgüzel Ö, Kaya S, Yiğit Özer S, Değer Y, Göncü Başaran E, Yavuz İ.

ABSTRACT Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical behavior of two different straight prosthetic abutments (one- and two-piece) for external hex butt-joint connection implants using three-dimensional finite element analysis (3D-FEA). Materials and Methods: Two 3D-FEA models were designed, one for the two-piece prosthetic abutment (2 mm in height, two-piece mini-conical abutment, Neodent) and another one for the one-piece abutment (2 mm in height, Slim Fit one-piece mini-conical abutment, Neodent), with their corresponding screws and implants (Titamax Ti, 3.75 diameter by 13 mm in length, Neodent). The model simulated the single restoration of a lower premolar using data from a computerized tomography of a mandible. The preload (20 N) after torque application for installation of the abutment and an occlusal loading were simulated. The occlusal load was simulated using average physiological bite force and direction (114.6 N in the axial direction, 17.1 N in the lingual direction and 23.4 N toward the mesial at an angle of 75° to the occlusal plan). Results: The regions with the highest von Mises stress results were at the bottom of the initial two threads of both prosthetic abutments that were tested. The one-piece prosthetic abutment presented a more homogeneous behavior of stress distribution when compared with the two-piece abutment. Conclusions: Under the simulated chewing loads, the von Mises stresses for both tested prosthetic-abutments were within the tensile strength values of the materials analyzed which thus supports the clinical use of both prosthetic abutments.

A review on optimization of adhesively bonded spar-wingskin joint (SWJ) of laminated fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites subjected to pull-off load is presented in this article using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Von Mises stress components have been computed across the width of joint at different interfaces viz. load coupler-spar, and load coupler-wingskin interfaces. Further, the weight of SWJ structure is considered as the objective function which needs to be minimized for optimization. In the first step, the material and lamination scheme of the FRP composite materials used for SWJ are optimized, and, in the second step, the geometrical parameters have been optimized on the basis of minimum von Mises stress and weight. Further, the effects of the material, lamination scheme, and geometrical parameters on the von Mises stress and weight have been validated using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) approach as prescribed by the Taguchi method. The results show that the material and spar thickness are the most significant factors influencing von Mises stress. The weight analysis reveals that there is a significant effect of change in material and wingskin thickness on SWJ performance. Suitable design recommendations have been made for SWJ in terms of material, lamination scheme and geometrical parameters.

The effect of the different dental implants positioning region on the stress performance of the implant-supported prosthesis is not yet clear. This study evaluated the dental treatment with six dental implants in three different models and three different occlusal loading conditions, in terms of the biomechanical response of implants, prosthetic screw and maxilla, using three-dimensional finite element analysis. The finite element models were modelled containing external hexagon implants, as well as a Cobalt-Chromium superstructure. Three types of loads were applied: in the area of the central incisors, first premolar and in the second molars. For the finite element simulations, the von-Mises stress peaks in the implant and in the surrounding cortical bone were analyzed. All recorded results reported higher values for the implant-supported prosthesis in group C compared to the groups A and B. The highest stress values, regardless the evaluated model, was in the prosthesis in group C and in screws, the smallest were in group A.

Using ANSYS parametric design language, a three-dimensional finite element model is developed to analyze the stress distribution and the strength of the mega columns for XRL West Kowloon Terminus. The detailed von Mises stress distribution in each column, vertical stiffener plates and the diaphragm plates is obtained. From the analysis, the phenomenon of stress concentration is obvious in both upper and lower diaphragm plates. The local value of von Mises stress in them is higher than the yield stress value, which must be avoided by more detailed local structural design.

The development of ultra-deep drilling and extended reach drilling present many critical challenges for the threaded connections. The reliability of threaded connections must be evaluated to ensure the structural and sealing integrity of drillstring in critical applications. Three-dimensional finite element analysis of threaded connections has been performed in this paper. Different types of loading composed of make-up torque, working torque, tension and bending loading are applied to the model. The makeup characteristics of threaded connections have been analyzed, and the reliability of threaded connections under severe conditions has been evaluated. The results show that von Mises stress distribution over threaded connections is highly uneven, tooth nearby two ends was bearing the most of load. It shows that ultra-deep drilling case is even more challenge than extend reach drilling case in the threaded connections, the reliability evaluation of threaded connections is important in those challenging drilling.
