Histomorphometric study of dental implants with double acid-etched and anodic oxidized surface in the rabbit tibia

The three dimensional finite element analysis of the stress distribution according to the implant and thread designs

The three dimensional finite element analysis of the stress distribution in the three treatment options of implants restorations for the posterior partial edentulism

In this study, three treatment options to replace two posterior missing teeth were investigated using three dimensional finite element analysis: two wide(.5.0mm) implants(the experimental model I), two standard(.3.75mm) implants(the experimental model II), and three standard(.3.75mm) implants(the experimental model III). Two kinds of load case were applied ; 1) perpendicular on occlusal surface(axial load), parallel on occlusal surface(lateral load). 2) perpendicular on occlusal surface(3mm lateral to central point). The results obtained from this study were as follows; value of on-mises stress (equivalent stress) was smallest in the two wide implant among the three experimental models. It was reported that the diameter is the efficient factor than osseointegrated surface area.
