The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution of the short dental implants and bone-to-implant contact ratios in the posterior maxilla using 3-dimensional (3D) finite element models. Two different 3D maxillary posterior bone segments were modeled. Group 1 was composed of a bone segment consisting of cortical bone and type IV cancellous bone with 100% bone-to-implant contact. Group 2 was composed of a bone segment consisting of cortical bone and type IV cancellous bone including spherical bone design and homogenous tubular hollow spaced structures with 30% spherical porosities and 70% bone-to-implant contact ratio. Four-millimeter-diameter and 5-mm-height dental implants were assumed to be osseointegrated and placed at the center of the segments. Lateral occlusal bite force (300 N) was applied at a 25° inclination to the implants long axis. The maximum von Mises stresses in cortical and cancellous bones and implant-abutment complex were calculated. The von Mises stress values on the implants and the cancellous bone around the implants of the 70% bone-to-implant contact group were almost 3 times higher compared with the values of the 100% bone-to-implant contact group. For clinical reality, use of the 70% model for finite element analysis simulation of the posterior maxilla region better represents real alveolar bone and the increased stress and strain distributions evaluated on the cortical and cancellous bone around the dental implants.

For normal healthy teeth, the percussive energy generated by mastication is attenuated by the periodontal ligament at the healthy bone/natural tooth interface. However, when a natural tooth must be replaced by an implant because of damage or disease, the ligament is lost and the implant will transmit the percussive forces to the bone directly. Studies have evaluated the deformation distribution of the alveolar bone in the vicinity of implants using finite element analysis and photoelasticity. However, finite element analysis requires clinical verification or a determination of material properties, and photoelastic materials generally have material properties and structure quite different from those of actual bone. Therefore, this study examined the deformation distribution around dental implants in cortical/cancellous bone experimentally using sawbone cortical/cancellous bone models. Dental implants were placed in the bone models and the displacement distribution was measured using the digital image correlation method, and the strain distribution was visualized under a compressive load that simulated the occlusion force.

Distractor devices are implanted temporarily in the bony structure in order to regenerate the bone tissue required and then be removed from the distraction site at the end of the consolidation period of callus. In this research, an osteogenic alveolar distractor (OAD) to deal with jaw bone deficiency in the alveolar area is proposed and described in this study. It addresses the FEM analysis of the proposed model of an OAD under physiological loading after the implantation. A finite element model subjected to physiological load exerted by the voluntary protrusion of the tongue on the alveolar distractor was analyzed and developed. The applied biological loads were the forces generated by the involuntary movement of the tongue against the distal end of the assembly. Both of them act on the head of the distractor screw, in the same direction but in opposite directions. The distraction device has been simulated on the alveolar bone, taking into account the most critical conditions that may occur during the distraction osteogenesis. The alveolar distractor proposed has a geometry that allows, by using only two intra-cortical screws, the attachment of the base plate to the alveolar bone without sacrificing a large periosteum area of the periosteum, which is primarily responsible for blood supply and nutrient source to the bone segment being distracted. The resulting stresses were lower than those corresponding to the resistance threshold in the bone.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of implant length and bone quality on the biomechanical aspects in alveolar bone and dental implant using non-linear finite element analysis. Two fixture lengths (8 and 13mm) of Frialit-2 root-form titanium implants were buried in 4 types of bone modeled by varying the elastic modulus for cancellous bone. Contact elements were used to simulate the realistic interface fixation within the implant system. Axial and lateral (buccolingual) loadings were applied at the top of the abutment to simulate the occlusal forces. The simulated results indicated that the maximum strain values of cortical and cancellous bone increased with lower bone density. In addition, the variations of cortical bony strains between 13mm and 8mm long implants were not significantly as a results of the same contact areas between implant fixture and cortical bone were found for different implant lengths. Lateral occlusal forces significantly increased the bone strain values when compared with axial occlusal forces regardless of the implant lengths and bone qualities. Loading conditions were found as the most important factor than bone qualities and implant lengths affecting the biomechanical aspects for alveolar bone and implant systems. The simulated results implied that further understanding of the role of occlusal adjustment influencing the loading directions are needed and might affect the long-term success of an implant system.

Nowadays, root osseointegrated dental implants are used widely in dentistry mainly for replacement of the single missing tooth. The success rate of osseointegrated dental implants depends on different factors such as bone conditions; surgery insertion technique, loading history, and biomechanical interaction between jawbone and implant surface. In recent years, many studies have investigated design factors using finite element analysis with a concentration on major parameters such as diameter, pitch, and implant outlines in the distribution of stress in the bone-implant interface. There is still a need to understand the relationship and interaction of design factors individually with stress distribution to optimize implant structure. Therefore, the present study introduced a new dental implant and investigated the effect of design parameters on stress distribution. The finite element modeling was developed to facilitate the study with a comparison of design parameters. Boundary and loading conditions were implemented to simulate the natural situation of occlusal forces. Based on results, V-shape threads with maximum apex angle caused a high rate of micro-motion and high possibility of bone fracture. Low Von-Mises stress was associated with low bone growth stimulation. Besides, small fin threads did not integrate with cancellous bone and consequently lower stress accommodation. V-5 fin had no extraordinary performance in cancellous bone. Small surface areas of fins did not integrate with the surrounding bone and high-stress concentration occurred at the tail. These fins are recommended as threads replacement. It was concluded that the implant structure had less influence on stress distribution under horizontal loading.

Introduction: Mini-implant has been in use as temporary anchorage device in orthodontics. Various factors like length, type of osseointegration, magnitude and direction of force, insertion angle of the mini-implant affect the stress development at the bone and implant interface. Development of undesirable stress at the bone-implant interface can lead to bone defect and failure of the implant. Various opinions regarding the need of osseointegration have been reported.Objective: To study the effect of complete and partial osseointegration on Von Mises stress distribution at the bone-implant interface.Materials & Method: Finite element model of 9mm × 1.5mm mini-implant and bone segment of 1.5mm were constructed to simulate the biomechanical response of the bone to the mini- implant by using CATIA V5-6R 2013 software. Stress developed on implant and bone were analyzed by using ANSYS: 13 2013 version software for both complete and partial level of osseointegration.Result: Maximum Von Mises stress in complete osseointegration was 14.49 Mpa in cortical bone, 0.551 Mpa in cancellous bone and 50.76 Mpa in implant. In partial osseointegration, it was 18.68 Mpa in cortical bone, 1.23 Mpa in cancellous bone and 66.80 Mpa in mini-implant.Conclusion: In partial osseointegration, stress developed was higher but well below the yield strength of respected continuum. So the partial osseointegration is a good compromise between the necessity of reducing mobility of implant and the necessity for easier screw removal. Key words: cancellous bone, cortical bone, Finite element analysis, mini-implant, Von Mises stress

Alveolar bone atrophy can directly cause a decrease in bone level. The effect of this process on the service life of dental implants is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the failure forms of the two-piece dental implants in the descending process of alveolar bone level, and the specific states of the components during the failure process. The CAD software SolidWorks was used to establish the model of alveolar bone and dental implants in this article. The finite element analysis was used to analyze the statics of the dental implants in the host oral model. The finite element analysis results showed that the stress concentration point of the implant and abutment in the implant system has changed greatly during the descending process of alveolar bone level, and indirectly increased the fatigue life of the same fatigue risk point. At the same time, the dental implants were tested in vitro in the descending process of alveolar bone level. Then, the fracture of the implant system was scanned by scanning electron microscope. The fatigue test results proved the finite element analysis hypothesis the central screw first fractured under fatigue and then caused an overload break of the implant and abutment.

AbstractMini dental implants (MDI) were once thought of as transitional implants for treatment in selected clinical situations. Their reduced diameter makes them a very attractive option for patients with poor tolerance to maxillary and mandibular prostheses. Using the method of finite element analysis, a series of different designed MDI prototypes have been investigated. The prototypes differed in the geometry of implant body and/or design of implant head. The load transfer of the implant prototypes to the idealised alveolar bone has been regarded and the prototypes have been compared to each other and to a number of standard commercial implants. The prototype models have been virtually placed in the idealised bone with a cortical thickness of 1.5 mm and loaded laterally 30° from the implant's long axis. The condition of immediate loading was assumed for the numerical analyses through defining a contact interface between the implant and bone bed. The numerical analysis in this study showed that the design of the investigated prototype MDI of group 3 (mini-ball head) is the most advantageous design.
