Novel approach to assessing the primary stability of dental implants under functional cyclic loading in vitro: a biomechanical pilot study using synthetic bone. J Periodontal Implant Sci 2024; 54:189-204. [PMID: 37857518 PMCID: PMC11227935 DOI: 10.5051/jpis.2301780089] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Revised: 06/12/2023] [Accepted: 07/31/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This pilot study was conducted to develop a novel test setup for the in vitro assessment of the primary stability of dental implants. This was achieved by characterising their long-term behaviour based on the continuous recording of micromotions resulting from dynamic and cyclic loading. METHODS Twenty screw implants, each 11 mm in length and either 3.8 mm (for premolars) or 4.3 mm (for molars) in diameter, were inserted into the posterior region of 5 synthetic mandibular models. Physiological masticatory loads were simulated by superimposing cyclic buccal-lingual movement of the mandible with a vertically applied masticatory force. Using an optical 3-dimensional (3D) measuring system, the micromotions of the dental crowns relative to the alveolar bone resulting from alternating off-centre loads were concurrently determined over 10,000 test cycles. RESULTS The buccal-lingual deflections of the dental crowns significantly increased from cycle 10 to cycle 10,000 (P<0.05). The deflections increased sharply during the first 500 cycles before approaching a plateau. Premolars exhibited greater maximum deflections than molars. The bone regions located mesially and distally adjacent to the loaded implants demonstrated deflections that occurred synchronously and in the same direction as the applied loads. The overall spatial movement of the implants over time followed an hourglass-shaped loosening pattern with a characteristic pivot point 5.5±1.1 mm from the apical end. CONCLUSIONS In synthetic mandibular models, the cyclic reciprocal loading of dental implants with an average masticatory force produces significant loosening. The evasive movements observed in the alveolar bone suggest that its anatomy and yielding could significantly influence the force distribution and, consequently, the mechanical behaviour of dental implants. The 3D visualisation of the overall implant movement under functional cyclic loading complements known methods and can contribute to the development of implant designs and surgical techniques by providing a more profound understanding of dynamic bone-implant interactions.

Abstract
With the advancements in dental science and the growing need for improved dental health, it has become imperative to develop new implant materials which possess better geometrical, mechanical, and physical properties. The oral environment is a corrosive environment and the relative motion between the teeth also makes the environment more hostile. Therefore, the combined corrosion and tribology commonly known as tribocorrosion of implants needs to be studied. The complex shapes of the dental implants and the high-performance requirements of these implants make manufacturing difficult by conventional manufacturing processes. With the advent of additive manufacturing or 3D-printing, the development of implants has become easy. However, the various requirements such as surface roughness, mechanical strength, and corrosion resistance further make the manufacturing of implants difficult. The current paper reviews the various studies related to3D-printed implants. Also, the paper tries to highlight the role of 3D-Printing can play in the area of dental implants. Further studies both experimental and numerical are needed to devise optimized conditions for 3D-printing implants to develop implants with improved mechanical, corrosion, and biological properties.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM A consensus on the optimal approach to the placement of pterygoid implants is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this finite element analysis study was to determine the optimal approach to the placement of pterygoid implants by comparing biomechanical behavior. MATERIAL AND METHODS An edentulous and moderately atrophic maxilla with the anatomic structure of the pterygomaxillary region was constructed. Complete arch restorations with 4 standard anterior implants and pterygoid implants in 3 approaches were simulated: L70, long pterygoid implants (4.1×18 mm) inclined at 70 degrees relative to the Frankfort horizontal plane with anchorage in the pterygoid process; L45, long pterygoid implants (4.1×20 mm) inclined at 45 degrees with anchorage in the pterygoid process; and S45, shorter pterygoid implants (4.1×13 mm) inclined 45 degrees without apical anchorage. The L70, L45, and S45 groups were classified as D or S depending on the bone quality: D3 (dense trabecular bone) or D4 (sparse trabecular bone). A total of 6 finite element models were built. The bone failure theory, based on the von Mises theory, was used to judge yielding of the trabecular bone. The von Mises stress (σVM) distribution was measured in the cortical bone, the trabecular bone, and on the implant surface. Deformation (DF) distribution was obtained for the entire bone (DFB) and bone surrounding the pterygoid implant (DFP). RESULTS L70 showed a lower maximum σVM value (maxσVM), more uniform σVM distribution in the cortical bone, trabecular bone, and on the implant surface and a lower maximum DFp value (maxDFp), especially in the D4 bone. The biomechanical behaviors were similar in L45 and S45 with no stress distribution in the pterygoid process. In the D4 bone, L70, L45, and S45 exceeded the limited stress of the bone failure theory by 50%, 130%, and 130%, while all values were under the limit in D3 bone. CONCLUSIONS The approach of pterygoid implants inclined at 70 degrees relative to the Frankfort plane with anchorage in the pterygoid process was optimal, providing improved biomechanical behavior. Clinically, in the case of D4 bone, the inclined angulation of pterygoid implants should be 70 degrees to minimize the risk of failure.

Clin Oral Investig 2024; 28:197.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the strain in the bone surrounding dental implants supporting a 4-unit bridge and assess the role of excessive strain as a possible risk factor for implant related sequestration (IRS) or peri-implant medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (PI-MRONJ). MATERIALS AND METHODS A 3D-mandibular model was constructed using computed tomography and segmented it into cortical and cancellous bones. The 4-unit implant-supported bridges replacing the mandibular posteriors were constructed, and each featuring two, three, and four implants, respectively. The Young's modulus was assigned based on the quality of the bone. A maximum occlusal force of 200 N was applied to each implant in the axial and in a 30-degree oblique direction. RESULTS The maximum principal strain of the fatigue failure range (> 3000 µε) in the bone was analyzed. The volume fraction of fatigue failure was higher in poor-quality bone compared to normal bone and oblique load than in axial load. An increasing number of implants may dissipate excessive strain in poor-quality bones. CONCLUSIONS Occlusal force applied to poor-quality bone can result in microdamage. Given that unrepaired microdamage may initiate medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, long-term occlusal force on fragile bones might be a risk factor. CLINICAL RELEVANCE When planning implant treatment for patients with compromised bone status, clinical modifications such as strategic placement of implants and optimization of restoration morphology should be considered to reduce excessive strain which might be associated with IRS or PI-MRONJ.

Finite Element Analysis of the Influence of Implant Tilting and the Direction of Loading on the Displacement and Micromotion of Immediately Loaded Implants. JOURNAL OF PHARMACY AND BIOALLIED SCIENCES 2024; 16:S924-S926. [PMID: 38595403 PMCID: PMC11000944 DOI: 10.4103/jpbs.jpbs_1103_23] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 11/01/2023] [Accepted: 11/02/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives To investigate the outcome of the loading direction and implant tilting on the micromotion and displacement of immediately placed implants with finite element analysis (FEA). Materials and Method Eight blocks of synthetic bone were created. Eight screw-type implants were inserted, four axially and four slanted, each measuring 11 mm in length and 4.5 mm in diameter. The axial implants and the tilted implants were distally inclined by 30°. The top of the abutment was subjected to 180 N vertical and mesiodistal oblique (45° angle) loads, and the displacement of the abutment was measured. The abutment displacement and micromotion were estimated, and nonlinear finite element models simulating the in vitro experiment were built. In vitro studies and FEA data on abutment displacement were compared, and the reliability of the finite element model was assessed. Result Under oblique stress, abutment displacement was larger than under axial loading, and it was also greater for tilted implants than for axial implants. The consistency of the in vitro and FEA data was satisfactory. Under vertical stress, the highest micromotion values in the axial and tilted implants were extremely near. Conclusion Under mesiodistal oblique stress, tilted implants may have a smaller maximum amount of micromotion than axial implants. The loading direction had a significant impact on the highest micromotion values. The abutment displacement values were not reflected in the maximum micromotion measurements.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implant-supported restorations have gained popularity in modern dentistry, and the choice of abutment material is crucial for their long-term success. This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the fracture resistance and failure mode of implant-supported restorations using different abutment materials. METHODS Ninety standardized implant-supported restorations were included in the study. Abutments made of titanium, zirconia, and a hybrid material (titanium base with a zirconia veneer) were evaluated. Standardized abutments were fabricated, and screw-retained restorations were fabricated using a resin-based composite material. Cyclic loading was applied using a universal testing machine to simulate masticatory forces. Fracture resistance was measured in terms of the number of cycles to failure (NCF), and failure modes were analyzed. RESULTS The findings indicate that zirconia abutments exhibited higher fracture resistance compared to titanium and hybrid abutments. Longer implants demonstrated higher fracture resistance, suggesting improved stability and resistance to mechanical forces. Increased loading angles resulted in decreased fracture resistance of implant-supported restorations, emphasizing the need for proper occlusal adjustment. Central loading showed higher fracture resistance than lateral and posterior loading locations. The distribution of failure modes varied among the abutment materials, with bulk prosthesis fracture being the most common in the titanium group, while abutment fracture was predominant in the zirconia and hybrid groups. CONCLUSION This in vitro study demonstrated that the choice of abutment material significantly influenced the fracture resistance and failure mode of implant-supported restorations. Zirconia abutments exhibited the highest fracture resistance, followed by hybrid and titanium abutments. The failure mode analysis revealed different patterns of failure for each abutment material.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Lack of knowledge regarding the optimal design of thread configuration in dental implants, which can offer a satisfactory level of stability in the implant-bone construct, is a significant challenge in the field of dental biomechanics. PURPOSE The purpose of this finite element analysis study was to identify the optimal thread design by investigating the effects of thread parameters such as thread depth (TD), thread width (TW), and thread pitch (TP), as well as upper (α) and lower (β) thread angles, on the maximum principal stress in cancellous and cortical bone, maximum von Mises stress in the dental implant, and maximum shear stress at the implant-bone interface. MATERIAL AND METHODS A finite element model of an alveolar bone segment with a dental implant was developed. The Latin hypercube sampling method was used to generate a dataset of virtual experiments, which were analyzed by using the decision tree method to identify suitable thread designs that minimize mechanical stimuli. Additionally, the effectiveness of thread parameters on stress levels in the bone, implant, and their interface were assessed. RESULTS The results of this study, verified by comparison with previous literature, indicated that TD, TW, and upper thread angle were the most effective parameters in promoting implant stability. CONCLUSIONS By analyzing the decision trees, optimum ranges for all the thread parameters were determined as follows: 0.25

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate screw loosening and fracture load and angular deviation of a single implant-supported prosthesis under multi-directional loading condition at three different occlusal contact points. METHODS A total of 40 metal crowns were cemented to external connection implants and were embedded vertically and obliquely. The occlusal surface of the crown was designed with three flat surfaces, contact a, b, and c, representing outer and inner 20-degree inclination for buccal and lingual cusps. The angular deviations of implant crown under static 50N of loading were measured. And screw removal torque was evaluated before and after 57,600 load cycles. Then, fracture load was measured for each specimen. Data analysis was performed using one-way analysis of variance test of significance followed by Tukey honest significant difference (HSD) test(p < 0.05). RESULTS Angular deviation results showed statistical significance between all contact points in vertically embedded group compared to obliquely embedded group, which showed similar results between contact A and B compared to C. In the other hand, screw loosening evaluation did not show statistical significance among the tested groups. And for the fracture load evaluation the maximum values reached twice the yield values in all contact areas. CONCLUSIONS Mechanical effects were different regarding to diverse loading direction and contact points. The results of this study suggest that the stress concentration might increase in unfavorable vector direction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The threads, as the most critical component of dental implants, transfer the imposed occlusal loads to the adjacent bone. Moreover, regulation of the mechanical stimuli in the implant adjacent bone is crucial to maximize the bone-implant construct stability. An optimal thread design can be resulted when the distribution of mechanical stimuli within the bone, and at the implant-bone interface, lie in an advised confined range. In this work, with the goal of finding the optimal thread design, which can provide the maximum level of stability, the effects of thread parameters, namely, thread depth, thread width, and thread pitch, together with upper and lower thread angles, on maximum principal strain within the cortical and cancellous bone, and shear strain at the implant-bone interface, were investigated. METHODS In this study, the response surface methodology (RSM), due to the central composite design (CCD), was employed to obtain a set of 53 experiments. Following that, they were numerically simulated using the finite element method (FEM). The polynomial regression model was then used to predict the response functions based on the magnitude of thread parameters. The effectiveness of each thread parameter was also evaluated through statistical tools. Moreover, the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) was performed to find the optimum dimensions of the thread. RESULTS Through comparing the results obtained from analyzing initial and optimized configuration of threads, it was shown that the latter causes a reduction in the maximum principal strains in cancellous and cortical bones by about 25% and 30%, respectively, which is in favor of making a higher quality bone, and thus greater stability in dental implant-bone construct. Moreover, the maximum shear strains at the implant-bone interface in different planes were reduced by about 40%, in the optimized thread, compared with the initial design. CONCLUSIONS The optimized design found in this study is a buttress thread with a fine pitch, but deep thread, which keeps the mechanical stimuli in a safe range to grant an acceptable level of stability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE Dental implant fails due to mechanical failure of the implant contribute to about 10-15 % of implant failures. It is necessary to prevent the design failure of the implant since it leads to bone loss which further leads to complications in reimplantation. This makes it important to test the design of a dental implant using FEM and in vitro testing before its application. The purpose of this article is to test the design of a dental implant using in vitro testing by using an artificial bone model and validation of the data using Finite Element Method (FEM). METHODS A dental implant was selected for in vitro testing and 3D FE analysis was conducted to observe the stress values. The in vitro study was done on a custom designed testing rig where the implant was drilled into a ABS and sawbone (polyurethane) bone model. Vertical and lateral loads of 100 N and 40 N respectively, were applied to evaluate the micro-strains using strain gauge technique. 3D FEA technique was used to evaluate stress concentrations and micro-strains in the bone-implant interface. RESULTS The strain values were found to be higher in the case of lateral loading than vertical loading with in vitro testing. The von-mises stresses on the cortical bone were greater at the bone-implant interface near the neck region of the implant. CONCLUSIONS The results obtained from the in vitro analysis and FEA were found to have a good agreement with an error percentage of 2-5 %.

Abstract
This study was designed to investigate the influence of diameter reductions on the stress distribution around root-analogue implants via 3D finite element analysis. Four root-analogue implant models with different diameter reductions (0, 1, 2, or 3 mm), a traditional threaded implant and congruent bone models were created through reverse engineering. A 100-N force was applied parallel with and in a 45° angle to the implant axis, respectively. The stress concentration in the labial neck area around implants with 1-2 mm diameter reduction was lower than seen with no reduction. When the implant diameter was reduced by 3 mm, there were obvious stress concentrations in both implant and bone (the maximum stress was 206 and 111 MPa, respectively). In other groups, the maximum stress was 65.1 MPa in the bone and 108 MPa in the implant. Additionally, the stress concentration in the bone around the root-analogue implant when the implant diameter was reduced by 0-2 mm (maximum stress of 65.1 MPa) was obviously smaller than that around the traditional implant (maximum stress 130.4 MPa). Reducing the diameter of maxillary central incisor root-analogue implants by up to 2 mm next to the labial cortical bone could help disperse stress.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the effects of tilted external hexagon implants and splinted restorations in terms of stress distribution on the bone tissue, implants, and prosthetic screws, using three-dimensional finite element analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six models were used to simulate a posterior maxilla bone block (type IV) from the first premolar to the first molar. Each model included three 4.1-mm-diameter external hexagon implants with varying inclinations (0°, 17°, and 30°) and crown designs (splinted and nonsplinted restorations). The forces applied were as follows: 400 N axially (50 N for each slope of the cusp) and 200 N obliquely (45° only on the buccal slope of the cusp). Stress distribution on the implants and prosthetic screw was evaluated using Von Mises stress, while the maximum principal stress was used to evaluate the stress distribution in the bone tissue. RESULTS The oblique load increased the stress on all the structures in all the models. Increased inclination of the implants resulted in higher stress concentration in the bone tissue, implants, and prosthetic screws. However, splinted restorations contributed to reduction of the stress for the oblique loading, mainly in the bone tissue and prosthetic screw of the first molar, as the stress was shared between the first and second premolar restorations. CONCLUSIONS Tilted implants increased proportionally the stress on bone tissue and prosthetic screws of models. Additionally, splinting restorations reduced the stress concentration area in the simulated bone tissue, implants, and prosthetic screws in the first molar, as the stress was shared with the adjacent implants.

Abstract
The body shape design is one of the most influential factors in the success of dental implants. This study presents a strategy to design the geometrical features of a threaded implant. The topology optimization technique is applied to identify appropriate spaces in the implant body to be removed for bone growth. The exact shape, position, and dimensions of the spaces are determined using a finite element model. This model consists of a mandibular segment, implant, abutment, and crown. During the optimization process, some grooves and holes are created in the implant by removing redundant materials. Bone growth into these spaces causes mechanical locking between the implant and surrounding bone. The smoothing process is performed following the optimization to remove stress concentration. The results indicate that this design strategy reduces the maximum displacement of the implant by approximately 20%. Moreover, a reduction in the implant's volume and an increase in the contact area between the implant and bone are obtained. All mentioned issues would increase the stability and reduce the risk of implant loosening. Finally, using conventional production methods, the optimal implant was produced from titanium alloy to demonstrate the possibility of production of the proposed design.

Abstract
Background Stress concentration may cause bone resorption even lead to the failure of implantation. This study was designed to investigate whether a certain sagittal root position could cause stress concentration around maxillary anterior custom-made root-analogue implants via three-dimensional finite element analysis. Methods The von Mises stresses in the bone around implants in different groups were compared by finite element analysis. Six models were constructed and divided into two groups through Geomagic Studio 2012 software. The smooth group included models of unthreaded custom-made implants in Class I, II or III sagittal root positions. The threaded group included models of reverse buttress-threaded implants in the three positions. The von Mises stress distributions and the range of the stresses under vertical and oblique loads of 100 N were analyzed through ANSYS 16.0 software. Results Stress concentrations around the labial lamella area were more prominent in the Class I position than in the Class II and Class III positions under oblique loading. Under vertical loading, the most obvious stress concentration areas were the labial lamella and palatal apical areas in the Class I and Class III positions, respectively. Stress was relatively distributed in the labial and palatal lamellae in the Class II position. The maximum von Mises stresses in the bone around the custom-made root-analogue implants in this study were lower than around traditional implants reported in the literature. The maximum von Mises stresses in this study were all less than 25 MPa in cortical bone and less than 6 MPa in cancellous bone. Additionally, compared to the smooth group, the threaded group showed lower von Mises stress concentration in the bone around the implants. Conclusions The sagittal root position affected the von Mises stress distribution around custom-made root-analogue implants. There was no certain sagittal root position that could cause excessive stress concentration around the custom-made root-analogue implants. Among the three sagittal root positions, the Class II position would be the most appropriate site for custom-made root-analogue implants.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of the different dental implant neck designs, diameters, and inclinations, on the stress distributions at the mandibular crestal bone and implant-abutment complex, using three-dimensional (3D) finite element stress analysis (FEA) method. Finite element models of three-unit fixed partial dentures supported with two same length implants (10 mm), placed on the second premolar and second molar regions, were designed. Eight different models were designed according to the implants' neck designs (platform switching/traditional), diameters (4.1 mm/4.8 mm) and the tilting angles of the posterior implants (0°/15°). The anterior implants' widths were 4.1 mm and the neck design of the anterior implants matched the posterior implants. Two types of 100-N loads in vertical and 30° oblique directions were applied separately onto each central fossae and functional cusps of the fixed partial dentures crowns. Algor Fempro Software was used for the simulation and evaluation of the stress levels at the implant-abutment complex and the crestal bone. Stress levels measured at the crestal bone were found to be lower for the platform switching models. However, the platform switching design generated higher stress magnitudes within the implant-abutment complex. Inclined placement of posterior implants increased the amount of stress at the crestal bone around both implants. Biomechanically, selection of the largest diameter possible when using tilted platform switched implants may be recommended at the posterior mandible.

Abstract
Background In this research the biomechanical properties of a bone model was examined. Porcine ribs are used as experimental model. The objective of this research was to investigate and compare the biomechanical properties of the bone model before and after implant placement. Methods The bone samples were divided in three groups, Group 1 where ALL-ON-FOUR protocol was used during pre-drilling and placing the implants, Group 2 where ALL-ON-FOUR protocol was used during pre-drilling, and implants were not placed, and Group 3 consisting of intact bones served as a control group. Static and dynamic loading was applied for examining the model samples. Kruskal–Wallis statistical test and as a post-hoc test Mann–Whitney U test was performed to analyze experimental results. Results According to the results of the static loading, there was no significant difference between the implanted and original ribs, however, the toughness values of the bones decreased largely on account of predrilling the bones. The analysis of dynamic fatigue measurements by Kruskal–Wallis test showed significant differences between the intact and predrilled bones. Conclusion The pre-drilled bone was much weaker in both static and dynamic tests than the natural or implanted specimens. According to the results of the dynamic tests and after a certain loading cycle the implanted samples behaved the same way as the control samples, which suggests that implantation have stabilized the skeletal bone structure.

Abstract
The aim of this finite element study was to analyze effect of supporting implants inclination on stress distribution in the bone for a four-unit fixed partial denture. A three-dimensional finite element model of mandibular molar section of the bone to receive implants was constructed. Three implant-supported fixed partial dentures, with null, moderate and wide tilting, of 0°, 15° and 30° implant inclinations, respectively, were modeled. A mechanical load of 10 MPa was applied in coronal–apical direction on bridge framework at the regions of crowns positions. The finite element analysis was performed, and von Mises stress levels were calculated. Peak stress concentration in the cortical bone was observed mostly around the implant necks, in inter-implants line. There was favorable stress distribution during loading, with peak stress being 90.04 MPa for 0°, which decreased to 54.33 MPa for 15° and 46.36 MPa for 30° inclination. The supporting implants inclination in fixed partial denture plays an important role in stress distribution and may be helpful in preventing bone loss and implant failure. This phenomenon is likely to be more pronounced in bones of poor quality. Within the limitation of this study, it seems that the inclination of implants in fixed partial denture has a favorable effect on stress distribution pattern values around the supporting implants.

Abstract
Implant body and threads direct the functional loads from implant to bones. Appropriate design of implant helps implant stability. Therefore, implant length, diameter, and thread depth, width, pitch, and inner angle are assessed to recognize their effects on von-Mises stress and micromotion of implant and bones. The FE model of mandible with a threaded dental implant is modeled then the central composite design is used to assess the effects of parameters. The optimization is conducted to find the optimum design; however, it reduced the Max von-Mises stress in implant-abutment, cancellous, and cortical bones by 10%, 35%, and 27%, respectively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effects from the thread shapes of custom-made root-analogue implant (RAI) on distributions of von Mises stress around the peri-implant bone. METHODS Five one-stage RAI three-dimensional finite element (FE) models with different thread shapes (V-shaped design, square design, buttress design, reverse buttress design and none thread design) and congruent bone were created through reverse engineering technology. The data of the five models were imported into the FE analysis software to calculate. A force of 100 N was applied parallelly and of 45° to the implant axis respectively. Analysis was performed to evaluate the von Mises stress distributions at the peri-implant regions with the help of the Ansys 16 software. RESULTS The von Mises stresses distributed mostly at the implant cervical regions and the tip ends of the threads on the cortical bone under oblique loading, while on the cancellous bone, the stresses concentrated mostly on the implant lateral cervical regions, the tip ends of the threads and the apical regions. When under vertical loading, the von Mises stresses distributed mostly at the implant cervical regions on the cortical bone while at the tip ends of the threads and the lateral apical regions on the cancellous bone. The von Mises stresses were better distributed on the thread groups under both kinds of loadings compared with no thread design. But there was no obvious difference among the different thread groups. The concentrations of the von Mises stresses on the cancellous bone in the thread groups were mostly at the tip ends of the threads while less in the apical area. The von Mises stresses were better distributed on the cancellous bone on the other three thread designs than on square design. CONCLUSION Thread designs are advocated for the reason that adding thread designs to the RAI standard design will have a positive effect on stress distributions at the peri-implant regions and it will reduce the concentrations of von Mises stresses on the cortical bone. From the standpoint of the stress distribution, V-shaped design, buttress design and reverse buttress design are more suitable for RAI than square design. There is no difference of the distributions of the von Mises stresses in the RAI between different thread designs.

Abstract
Background and aims The principles of biomechanics comprise all the interactions between the body (tissues) and the forces acting upon it (directly or via different medical devices). Besides the mechanical aspects, the tissues response is also studied. Understanding and applying these principles is vital for the researchers in the field of oral implantology, but they must be equally known by the practitioners. From the planning stages to the final prosthetic restoration, they are involved in each and every aspect. Ignoring them inevitably leads to failure. Methods The first part of this paper includes a review of our current research in oral implantology (mechanical, digital and biological testing), while the second part includes a review of the available literature on certain biomechanical aspects and their implications in everyday practice. Results Our research opens new study directions and provides increased chances of success for dental implant therapy. The practical aspects of our findings, combined with the available literature (from the basic principles described more than 40 years ago to the most recent studies and technologies) can serve as a guide to practitioners for increasing their success rate. Conclusion While no therapy is without failure risk, a good understanding of the biomechanics involved in oral implantology can lead to higher success rates in implant supported prosthetic restorations.

Abstract
Background: Once inserted and osseointegrated, dental implants become ankylosed, which makes them immobile with respect to the alveolar bone. The present paper describes the development of a new and original implant design which replicates the 3D physiological mobility of natural teeth. The first phase of the test followed the resistance of the implant to mechanical stress as well as the behavior of the surrounding bone. Modifications to the design were made after the first set of results. In the second stage, mechanical tests in conjunction with finite element analysis were performed to test the improved implant design. Methods: In order to test the new concept, 6 titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) implants were produced (milling). The implants were fitted into the dynamic testing device. The initial mobility was measured for each implant as well as their mobility after several test cycles. In the second stage, 10 implants with the modified design were produced. The testing protocol included mechanical testing and finite element analysis. Results: The initial testing protocol was applied almost entirely successfully. Premature fracturing of some implants and fitting blocks occurred and the testing protocol was readjusted. The issues in the initial test helped design the final testing protocol and the new implants with improved mechanical performance. Conclusion: The new prototype proved the efficiency of the concept. The initial tests pointed out the need for design improvement and the following tests validated the concept.
