The long-term success of dental implants depends, in part, on the stress distribution created in the bone, when the implant is loaded by biting forces. In this presentation, we present our findings on the stress distribution characteristics of a dental implant by varying bone mechanical properties surrounding the implant.

There are some anatomical restrictions in which implants are not possible to be inserted in their conventional configuration. Offset placement of implants in relation to the prosthetic unit could be a treatment solution. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the offset placement of implant-supported prosthesis on the stress distribution around a dental implant using 3D finite element analysis. 3D finite element models of implant placement in the position of a mandibular molar with 4 configurations (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 mm offset) were created in order to investigate resultant stress/strain distribution. A vertical load of 100 N was applied on the center of the crown of the models. The least stress in peri-implant tissue was found in in-line configuration (0 mm offset). Stress concentration in the peri-implant tissue increased by increasing the amount of offset placement. Maximum stress concentration in all models was detected at the neck of the implant. It can be concluded that the offset placement of a single dental implant does not offer biomechanical advantages regarding reducing stress concentration over the in-line implant configuration. It is suggested that the amount of offset should be as minimum as possible.

Nowadays, root osseointegrated dental implants are used widely in dentistry mainly for replacement of the single missing tooth. The success rate of osseointegrated dental implants depends on different factors such as bone conditions; surgery insertion technique, loading history, and biomechanical interaction between jawbone and implant surface. In recent years, many studies have investigated design factors using finite element analysis with a concentration on major parameters such as diameter, pitch, and implant outlines in the distribution of stress in the bone-implant interface. There is still a need to understand the relationship and interaction of design factors individually with stress distribution to optimize implant structure. Therefore, the present study introduced a new dental implant and investigated the effect of design parameters on stress distribution. The finite element modeling was developed to facilitate the study with a comparison of design parameters. Boundary and loading conditions were implemented to simulate the natural situation of occlusal forces. Based on results, V-shape threads with maximum apex angle caused a high rate of micro-motion and high possibility of bone fracture. Low Von-Mises stress was associated with low bone growth stimulation. Besides, small fin threads did not integrate with cancellous bone and consequently lower stress accommodation. V-5 fin had no extraordinary performance in cancellous bone. Small surface areas of fins did not integrate with the surrounding bone and high-stress concentration occurred at the tail. These fins are recommended as threads replacement. It was concluded that the implant structure had less influence on stress distribution under horizontal loading.
