ABSTRACT
Objective: To study the precise stress distribution in the apical foramen area of endodontic endosseous implant. Methods:After analysis of the two-dimensional endodontic endosseous implants model with finite element method, left and right areas beside the apical foramen were selected as infinite domains for calculation. Results:Under 45? axial right oblique loading, the stress concentration occurred in both infinite domains of the apical foramen. The tension stress concentrated in the infinite domain near the load side,but the other side was compress concentrated. Two stress concentration points were just at the central points, which were intersections between implant and dentin. In the implant and dentin section, the stress reduced in all directions from two stress concentration points, but in the ligament section, the result was contrary. Conclusion:It is helpful to keep the root stable when the fulcrum of the root changed to lower part after restoration. In the implant area,the diameter of implant at the apical foramen of root shouldn't be reduced for the protection of root in clinical work;It is very important to preserve the tissue of periodental ligament for endodontic endosseous implants.
