Effects of Different Implant Design Parameters on Mandibular Tooth Implantation / 医用生物力学

ABSTRACT

Objective To establish the implant-mandible model with different design parameters, observe stress distributions on the implant and surrounding bone, and analyze the influence of different design parameters on dental implant of the mandible. Methods Eight implant models were designed based on structural characteristic parameters (implant diameter, thread depth, height of abutment through gingiva, thread shape), and assembly of the mandibular model was performed respectively. The models were applied with static 150 N vertical and oblique 45° loads, so as to analyze peak von Mises stress of the implant and bone tissues and explore the structural parameter variables of implant most sensitive to peak von Mises stress. Results The peak stress of the mandible was larger under inclined load than that under vertical load. Implant diameter was the key factor affecting the peak von Mises stress of cortical bone, while thread depth was the key factor affecting the peak von Mises stress of cancellous bone. The peak von Mises stress was also affected by the height of abutment through gingiva, but the effect was not as significant as thread depth and implant diameter. Thread shape had little effect on the peak von Mises stress of the mandible. Conclusions Different implant design parameters can affect the peak stress of different tissues of the mandible, so it is necessary to carefully consider the selection of implant parameters for personalized implants. This study can provide theoretical guidance for structural parameter design of oral implants and provide references for accurate prediction of oral implants.
