The Influence of Type and Design of Denture Attachment on its Efficiency of Operation in Model Tests

Abstract:

This paper presents the issue of computer modelling of selected anchors for overdentures and their impact on functionality and efficiency of operation of dentures. As the construction material for anchors, the traditional Ti6Al4V titanium alloy was used. Attention was paid to the varied force transfer during modelled mastication. A verification of anchors and actions: external load – dentures – retention elements – edging socket (e.g. mandible bone, maxilla bone, mucous membrane) was performed by means of MES. The performed simulation tests made it possible to choose the most optimal design of anchoring construction for overdentures in a given case.
