The Effect of the Cortical Bone Thickness on the Stress Distribution in Dental Implants by FEM

Article Preview

Abstract:

The stress distribution in cortical bone and dental implant has been modeled by finite element method (FEM) using linear static analysis in the case of monocortical and bicortical fixation of a real dental implant for three cortical bone thicknesses: 2 mm, 2.5 mm, 4 mm. The analysis revealed that the highest stresses in the cortical bone and in the implant after three-axial loading are localized at the edge of the cortical bone near the implant neck where bending moment is the highest. An increase of the maximum stresses has been observed with the decrease of the intraosseal length of the implant and cortical bone thickness.
