Titanium and its alloys, especially Ti-6Al-4V have found application as hip implants due to their mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance. The use of cementless hip implants has increased over the years as it is thought that this type is more durable compared to cemented hip implants. Cementless hip implants have a porous surface that allows the bone to grow into it and form a strong bone–implant connection. The goal of this study is the use of Finite Element Method simulations to obtain information about how different types of surface topography of a TI-6Al-4V hip implant affect the shear stress, which is used to access the bone-implant connection. Finite Element Analysis is used to analyze the stress distribution in three simple surface modifications in a hip implant under different types of loads. The optimal surface modification out of these three is obtained based on the shear stress distribution, as it is known that lower shear stress promotes bone ingrowth. In this study, we have considered the interaction between cortical bone and implant surface. Material properties and boundary conditions used for the simulations have been adapted from literature.

Finite element analysis (FEA) has always been an important tool in studying the influences of stress and deformation due to various loads on implants to the surrounding jaws. This study assessed the influence of two different types of dental implant model on stress dissipation in adjoining jaws and on the implant itself by utilizing FEA. This analysis aimed to examine the effects of increasing the number of fences along the implant and to compare the resulting stress distribution and deformation with surrounding bones. When a vertical force of 100 N was applied, the largest displacements found in the three-fenced and single-fenced models were 1.7469 and 2.5267, respectively, showing a drop of 30.8623%. The maximum stress found in the three-fenced and one-fenced models was 13.518 and 22.365 MPa, respectively, showing a drop of 39.557%. Moreover, when an oblique force at 35° was applied, a significant increase in deformation and stress was observed. However, the three-fenced model still had less stress and deformation compared with the single-fenced model. The FEA results suggested that as the number of fences increases, the stress dissipation increases, whereas deformation decreases considerably.

Today, an artificial tooth root called a dental implant is used to replace lost tooth function. Treatment with dental implants is considered an effective and safe method. However, in some cases, the use of dental implants had some failures. The success of dental implants is influenced by several biomechanical factors such as loading type, used material properties, shape and geometry of implants, quality and quantity of bone around implants, surgical method, lack of rapid and proper implant surface's integration with the jaw bone, etc. The main purpose of functional design is to investigate and control the stress distribution on dental implants to optimize their performance. Finite element analysis allows researchers to predict the stress distribution in the bone implant without the risk and cost of implant placement. In this study, the stresses created in the 3A.P.H.5 dental implant's titanium fixture and screw due to the change in abutment angles tolerance have been investigated. The results show that although the fixture and the screw's load and conditions are the same in different cases, the change of the abutment angle and the change in the stress amount also made a difference in the location of maximum stress. The 21-degree abutment puts the fixture in a more critical condition and increases the chance of early plasticization compared to other states. The results also showed that increasing the abutment angle to 24 degrees reduces the stress in the screw, but decreasing the angle to 21 degrees leads to increased screw stress and brings it closer to the fracture.

Solid metallic hip implants have much higher stiffness than the femur bone, causing stress-shielding and subsequent implant loosening. The development of low-stiff implants using metallic porous structures has been reported in the literature. Ti6Al4V alloy is a commonly used biomaterial for hip implants. In this work, Body-Center-Cubic (BCC), Cubic, and Spherical porous structures of four different porosities (82%, 76%, 70%, and 67%) were investigated to establish the range of ideal porosities of Ti6Al4V porous structures that can match the stiffness of the femur bone. The effective mechanical properties have been determined through Finite Element Analysis (FEA) under uniaxial compressive displacement of 0.32 mm. FEA predictions were validated with the analytical calculations obtained using Gibson and Ashby method. The effective mechanical properties of 82%, 76%, 70%, and 67% porous BCC and Cubic structures were found to match the mechanical properties of cortical bone closely. They were also well comparable to the Gibson-Ashby method-based calculations. BCC and Cubic porous structures with 67–82% porosity can mimic the stiffness of the femur bone and are suitable for low-stiff hip implant applications.

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.
