The Optimization Design of Dental Implant after the Mandible Tumor Resection and Reconstruction

Abstract:

Mandible defect and the lack of dentition may result in facial deformity and chewing organ defects. It happens after the surgery of oral and maxillofacial tumors. This study aims at this problem. In this study, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was employed to reconstruct the implanted mandible for customized patient. The 3D FEA model has great importance for biomechanical analysis. Though the analysis of the biomechanical situation with different numbers of dental implants, we can optimize the location and quantity of the implants. In this way, we can improve the quality of the implants, reduce the pain of patients, reduce the operation cost and avoid secondary surgery.
