Study on Shape of Dental Implants

Abstract:

There are a lot of dental implants kit designs [1, 2, 3]. All of them are based on a pin or a screw either cemented or osseointegrated into the human jaw. This paper makes a study on the shape the pin or screw dental implant should have. Presented theoretical research was performed using DEFORM 2DTM software simulations, [4]. There were studied several shapes of the dental implant, both for pins and screws. The studied shapes were, basically: cylindrical, conical, ogival and pointed. The criterion for analysis was the effective stress into the jaw bone during the insertion. As a conclusion, the optimal shape of the dental implant depends on the real case, being a customized shape depending on the current conditions of insertion.
