Three-dimensional finite element analysis of the biomechanical behaviour of different dental implants under immediate loading during three masticatory cycles. Heliyon 2024; 10:e32616. [PMID: 38961961 PMCID: PMC11219977 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e32616] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2024] [Accepted: 06/06/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024] Open
Abstract
The study aimed to evaluate the impact of varying modulus of elasticity (MOE) values of dental implants on the deformation and von Mises stress distribution in implant systems and peri-implant bone tissues under dynamic cyclic loading. The implant-bone interface was characterised as frictional contact, and the initial stress was induced using the interference fit method to effectively develop a finite element model for an immediately loaded implant-supported denture. Using the Ansys Workbench 2021 R2 software, an analysis was conducted to examine the deformation and von Mises stress experienced by the implant-supported dentures, peri-implant bone tissue, and implants under dynamic loading across three simulated masticatory cycles. These findings were subsequently evaluated through a comparative analysis. The suprastructures showed varying degrees of maximum deformation across zirconia (Zr), titanium (Ti), low-MOE-Ti, and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implant systems, registering values of 103.1 μm, 125.68 μm, 169.52 μm, and 844.06 μm, respectively. The Zr implant system demonstrated the lowest values for both maximum deformation and von Mises stress (14.96 μm, 86.71 MPa) in cortical bone. As the MOE increased, the maximum deformation in cancellous bone decreased. The PEEK implant system exhibited the highest maximum von Mises stress (59.12 MPa), whereas the Ti implant system exhibited the lowest stress (22.48 MPa). Elevating the MOE resulted in reductions in both maximum deformation and maximum von Mises stress experienced by the implant. Based on this research, adjusting the MOE of the implant emerged as a viable approach to effectively modify the biomechanical characteristics of the implant system. The Zr implant system demonstrated the least maximum von Mises stress and deformation, presenting a more favourable quality for preserving the stability of the implant-bone interface under immediate loading.

The Impact of Implant Angulation on the Stress Distribution and Survival Rate of Implant-Supported Fixed Dental Prostheses: A Retrospective Study. Cureus 2023; 15:e47892. [PMID: 38034216 PMCID: PMC10682739 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.47892] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2023] [Accepted: 10/18/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) have become a reliable method for the rehabilitation of edentulous patients, offering improved contour, function, esthetics, and overall oral health. This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the impact of implant angulation on the stress distribution and survival rate of implant-supported FDPs using finite element analysis (FEA). Methods A retrospective cross-sectional design was employed, utilizing existing patient records and radiographic data. The study followed the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines for transparent and comprehensive reporting. Sample size calculation was based on a reference study, considering a standard deviation of 2.5 for stress distribution measurements and a minimum detectable effect size of 1.0. Data collection included demographic and clinical characteristics, implant selection and placement details, prosthetic design and fabrication, as well as stress distribution analysis using FEA. Results The study included a total of 307 participants who met the inclusion criteria. Demographic variables demonstrated a balanced gender distribution (p = 0.172), with 51.5% males and 48.5% females. Smoking status (p < 0.001) and income level (p = 0.026) were significantly associated with the research outcomes. Implant characteristics analysis revealed three main types: NobelReplace Select (53.6%), Straumann Bone Level (31.9%), and BioHorizons Tapered Internal (14.5%). Implant type (p < 0.001), length (p = 0.003), diameter (p = 0.019), and manufacturer (p < 0.001) were all found to have statistically significant associations with the research outcomes. Conclusion The findings of this retrospective study highlight the importance of implant angulation on the stress distribution and survival rate of implant-supported FDPs. The evaluation of stress distribution patterns and the analysis of implant characteristics provide valuable insights for optimizing implant design and placement strategies.

J Prosthet Dent 2023; 129:447.e1-447.e10. [PMID: 36737356 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2023.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 12/31/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The clinical application of short implants has been increasing. However, studies on the marginal bone loss of short implants are sparse, and clinicians often choose short implants based on their own experience rather than on scientific information. PURPOSE The purpose of this finite element analysis study was to evaluate the microstrain-stress distribution in the peri-implant bone and implant components for 4 types of short implants at different placement depths of platform switching. MATERIAL AND METHODS By using short implants as prototypes, 4 short implant models were 1:1 modeled. The diameter and length of the implants were 5×5, 5×6, 6×5, and 6×6 mm. The restoration was identical for all implants. Three different depths of implant platform switching were set: equicrestal, 0.5-mm subcrestal, and 1-mm subcrestal. The models were then assembled and assigned an occlusal force of 200 N (vertical or 30-degree oblique). A finite element analysis was carried out to evaluate the maximum equivalent elastic strain and von Mises stress in the bone and the stress distribution in the implant components. RESULTS The 5×5 implant group showed the largest intraosseous strain (21.921×103 με). A 1-mm increase in implant diameter resulted in a 17.1% to 37.4% reduction in maximum intraosseous strain when loaded with oblique forces. The strain in the bone tended to be much smaller than the placement depth at the equicrestal and 0.5-mm subcrestal positions than that at the 1-mm subcrestal position, especially under oblique force loading, with an increase of approximately 37.4% to 81.8%. In addition, when the cortical bone thickness was less than 4 mm, 5×6 implants caused significantly higher intraosseous stresses than 6×6 implants. CONCLUSIONS Large implant diameters, rather than long implants, led to reduced intraosseous strain, especially under oblique loading. Regarding the implant platform switching depth, the short implant showed small intraosseous strains when the platform switching depth was equicrestal or 0.5-mm subcrestal.

Luo B, Sun X, He L, Zhao L, Liu X, Jiang Q. Impact of different axial wall designs on the fracture strength and stress distribution of ceramic restorations in mandibular first molar. BMC Oral Health 2022; 22:549. [PMID: 36456942 PMCID: PMC9714140 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-022-02577-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the fracture strength and stress distribution of four ceramic restorations. METHODS Forty human mandibular first molars were collected and randomized into four groups after establishing the distal defect: full crown group with 4 mm axial wall height (AWH) (FC4); short AWH crown group with 2 mm AWH (SC2); occlusal veneer group with 0 mm AWH (OV0); occlusal distal veneer group with only the distal surface prepared, and 4 mm AWH (OD4). The teeth were prepared according to the groups and the ceramic restorations were completed using celtra duo ceramic blocks. The ceramic thickness of the occlusal surface is about 1.5 mm and the edge is about 1 mm. The failure load values and fracture modes of each group were detected by mechanical test in vitro. According to the groups to establish three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) models, a 600 N loading force was applied vertically using a hemispherical indenter with a diameter of 6 mm. and compare the stress distribution under the condition of different restorations. RESULTS In vitro mechanical tests showed that the failure load values were SC2 (3232.80 ± 708.12 N) > OD4 (2886.90 ± 338.72 N) > VO0 (2133.20 ± 376.15 N) > FC4(1635.40 ± 413.05 N). The failure load values of the short AWH crown and occlusal distal veneer were significantly higher than that of occlusal veneer and full crown (P<0.05). The fracture modes of the full crown and occlusal veneer groups were mainly ceramic fractures and some were restorable tooth fractures. The short AWH crown and occlusal distal veneer groups presented with three fracture modes, the proportion of non-restorable tooth fracture was higher. The results of FEA show that under the spherical loading condition, the stress of ceramic was concentrated in the contact area of the loading head, the maximum von Mises stress values were FC4 (356.2 MPa) > VO0 (214.3 MPa) > OD4 (197.9 MPa) > SC2 (163.1 MPa). The stress of enamel was concentrated in the area where the remaining enamel was thinner, the maximum von Mises stress values was OD4 (246.2 MPa) ≈ FC4 (212.4 MPa) > VO0 (61.8 MPa) ≈ SC2 (45.81 MPa). The stress of dentin is concentrated in the root furcation and the upper third region of the root. However, stress concentration was observed at the tooth cervix in the full crown. CONCLUSION Under certain conditions, the occlusal distal veneer shows better performance than the full crown.
