Numerical Analyses of Stresses and Strains in Bone – Implant Assembly

Abstract:

Numerous clinical observations performed on patients who have achieved dental restorations on implants drew attention to the risk of immediate or late complications. The most common late complications are lost of implant components and fracture of implant. While loss of screw only produce patient discomfort, implant fracture lead to more serious complications and subsequent treatment is extremely difficult. The causes of these complications are static mechanical failure of the implant system and overloading of the assembly [1]. The main function of dental implants is to transfer the load to the surrounding biological tissues. Therefore, the first objective of functional design is to dissipate and distribute biomechanical loads, in order to optimize function on prosthesis built on implants.
