Background and Objectives. A key factor for the long-term function of a dental implant is the manner in which stresses are transferred to the surrounding bone. The effect of adding a stiffener to the tissue side of the Hader bar helps to reduce the transmission of the stresses to the alveolar bone. But the ideal thickness of the stiffener to be attached to the bar is a subject of much debate. This study aims to analyze the force transfer and stress distribution of an implant-supported overdenture with a Hader bar attachment. The stiffener of the bar attachments was varied and the stress distribution to the bone around the implant was studied. Methods. A CT scan of edentulous mandible was used and three models with 1, 2, and 3 mm thick stiffeners were created and subjected to loads of emulating the masticatory forces. These different models were analyzed by the Finite Element Software (Ansys, Version 8.0) using von Mises stress analysis. Results. The results showed that the maximum stress concentration was seen in the neck of the implant for models A and B. In model C the maximum stress concentration was in the bar attachment making it the model with the best stress distribution, as far as implant failures are concerned. Conclusion. The implant with Hader bar attachment with a 3 mm stiffener is the best in terms of stress distribution, where the stress is concentrated at the bar and stiffener regions.

Objectives: The success of implant treatment depends on many factors affecting the bone-implant, implant-abutment, and abutment-prosthesis interfaces. Stress distribution in bone plays a major role in success/failure of dental implants. This study aimed to assess the pattern of stress distribution in bone and abutment-implant interface under static and cyclic loadings using finite element analysis (FEA). Materials and Methods: In this study, ITI implants (4.1×12 mm) placed at the second premolar site with Synocta abutments and metal-ceramic crowns were simulated using SolidWorks 2007 and ABAQUS software. The bone-implant contact was assumed to be 100%. The abutments were tightened with 35 Ncm preload torque according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Static and cyclic loads were applied in axial (116 Ncm), lingual (18 Ncm), and mesiodistal (24 Ncm) directions. The maximum von Mises stress and strain values ​​were recorded. Results: The maximum stress concentration was at the abutment neck during both static and cyclic loadings. Also, maximum stress concentration was observed in the cortical bone. The loading stress was higher in cyclic than static loading. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that the level of stress in single-unit implant restorations is within the tolerable range by bone.

Background: This finite element analysis (FEA) evaluated stress distribution in implant-supported overdenture (ISO) and peri-implant bone using one extracoronal (ball) and two intracoronal (locator and Zest Anchor Advanced Generation (ZAAG)) attachment systems. Methods: In this in vitro study, the mandible was modelled in the form of an arc-shaped bone block with 33 mm height and 8 mm width. Two titanium implants were modelled at the site of canine teeth, and three attachments (ZAGG, locator, and ball) were placed over them. Next, 100 N load was applied at 90° and 30° angles from the molar site of each quadrant to the implants. The stress distribution pattern in the implants and the surrounding bone was analyzed, and the von Mises stress around the implants and in the crestal bone was calculated. Results: While minimum stress in peri-implant bone following load application at 30° angle was noted in the mesial point of the locator attachment, maximum stress was recorded at the distal point of the ball attachment following load application at 90° angle. Maximum stress around the implant following load application at 90° angle was noted in the lingual point of the ball attachment while minimum stress was recorded in the lingual point of the locator attachment following load application at 90° angle. Conclusions: According to the results, the locator attachment is preferred to the ZAAG attachment, and the ball attachment should be avoided if possible.

Purpose: To analyze the stress distribution and the direction of force in external hexagonal implant with crown in three different angulations. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 samples of geometric models were used to analyze von Mises stress and direction of force with 0-, 5-, and 10-degree lingual tilt. Von Mises stress and force distribution were evaluated at nodes of hard bone, and finite element analysis was performed using ANSYS 12.1 software. For calculating stress distribution and force, we categorized and labeled the groups as Implant A1, Implant A2, and Implant A3, and Implant B1, Implant B2, and Implant B3 with 0-, 5-, and 10-degree lingual inclinations, respectively. Inter- and intra-group comparisons were performed using ANOVA test. A p-value of ≤0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: In all the three models, overall maximum stress was found in implant model A3 on the implant surface (86.61), and minimum was found on model A1 in hard bone (26.21). In all the three models, the direction of force along three planes was maximum in DX (0.01025) and minimum along DZ (0.002) direction with model B1. Conclusion: Maximum von Mises stress and the direction of force in axial direction was found at the maximum with the implant of 10 degrees angulation. Thus, it was evident that tilting of an implant influences the stress concentration and force in external hex implants.

Bruxism is a nonfunctional motor activity that is characterized by grinding and clenching of the teeth. It has been postulated that bruxism causes excessive occlusal load on the dental implant and its superstructures leading to biological and biomechanical complications. While many researchers suggest that grinding/clenching causes early implant complications and accelerated bone loss, others indicate that the long term effects are still unclear. The goal of this study is to analyze the effect of bruxism loading condition on the stress distribution of an implant supported overdenture (ISO) using finite element analysis (FEA) and compare the results with one of the most functionally efficient occlusion schemes in the clinical dentistry — lingualized occlusion. A high fidelity solid model of a mandibular denture encompassing lingual and buccal cusps, mesial and distal fossae supported by four implants and a connecting titanium prosthetic bar, resting on alveolar bone were modeled in SolidWorks 2013 following proper clinical guidelines and imported to ANSYS 15.0 for stress analysis. The results of the study demonstrate that the stress distribution in the implant prostheses and surrounding bone is significantly affected due to bruxism as compared to the lingualized loading. While the location of the maximum stress concentration was the same (neck of the posterior implants) for both loading conditions, there was an increase of approximately 115% von-Mises stress for bruxism loading condition as compared to the lingualized occlusion. The maximum principal stress in the cortical bone surpassed the ultimate tensile strength limit of the jaw bone implying possibility of bone resorption in the peri-implant area.

Edentulous Mandible

The biomechanical behavior of the edentulous mandible with bone irregularities that has been rehabilitated with implant-supported overdentures has become an important factor for treatment planning. Restorative options, including dental implants with various attachments, affect the stress distribution. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution of cortical bone around the implant neck and implant structures in overdentures with two different attachment types at the edentulous mandible and with different bone heights using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Five three-dimensional models of an edentulous mandible were designed and implemented. Ten models were constructed with ball and locator attachments. Static bilateral and unilateral vertical and oblique occlusal loads with magnitudes of 100 N were applied to the overdentures. The principal stresses were higher in the presence of oblique loads compared to vertical loads in all the analyzed models. Maximum principal stresses were observed around the mesial side of the contralateral implant, and the minimum principal stresses were noted around the distal side of ipsilateral implant during unilateral vertical loading. These patterns were reversed during oblique loadings. The ball attachment models yielded lower von Mises stress values than the locator models at all the loading conditions, while the stress distributions were similar in the models with the same and different bone levels. Correspondingly, bone corrections due to irregularities may not be necessary in terms of biomechanics. The results of this study may provide clinicians a better understanding for the mandibular overdenture design in the cases at which different bone heights exist.

Summary Background/Aim: The objective of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution on implants and supporting bone tissue in All-on-Four and conventional designs in edentulous mandible by using 3D finite element analysis. Material and Methods: The different five models were designed according to All-on-Four concept and conventional implant placement designs. While the first two models were involved in All-on-Four concept with two long implants, the remaining models were designed by conventional approaches with three implants in different location and length. After the modelling procedures, a load of masticatory force was applied and the stresses were evaluated. Results: It has been observed that principal stresses in both cortical and spongious bone tissue were concentrated in models of All-on-Four design. Less principal stress levels were found in models of conventional design. Similarly, von Mises stress values on implant surfaces were found to be higher in All-on-Four concept. Conclusions: In severely resorbed mandible, the use of conventional implant placement is recommended. Although All-on-Four design seems to be a reasonable alternative for edentulous mandible, evidence-based results of this approach should be supported by long-term follow-up studies.

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to compare the stress distribution and displacement patterns of the one versus two maxillary molars distalization with iPanda and to evaluate the biomechanical effect of distalization on the iPanda using the finite element method. Methods The finite element models of a maxillary arch with complete dentition, periodontal ligament, palatal and alveolar bone, and an iPanda connected to a pair of midpalatal miniscrews were created. Two models were created to simulate maxillary molar distalization. In the first model, the iPanda was connected to the second molar to simulate a single molar distalization. In the second model, the iPanda was connected to the first molar to simulate “en-masse” first and second molar distalization. A varying force from 50 to 200 g was applied. The stress distribution and displacement patterns were analyzed. Results For one molar, the stress was concentrated at the furcation and along the distal surface in all roots with a large amount of distalization and distobuccal crown tipping. For two molars, the stress in the first molar was 10 times higher than in the second molar with a great tendency for buccal tipping and a minimal amount of distalization. Moreover, the stress concentration on the distal miniscrew was six times higher than in the mesial miniscrew with an extrusive and intrusive vector, respectively. Conclusions Individual molar distalization provides the most effective stress distribution and displacement patterns with reduced force levels. In contrast, the en-masse distalization of two molars results in increased force levels with undesirable effects in the transverse and vertical direction.

A plate weakened by an oblique penetration of a circular cylindrical hole has been investigated. The stress concentration around the hole is determined by a finite-element method. The results are compared with experimental data and other analytical works. Parametric studies of effects of angle of inclination, plate thickness, and width are performed. The maximum stress concentration factor (SCF) obtained from the finite-element analysis is higher than experimental results, and this deviation increases with the increase of angle of skewness. The major reason for this difference is attributed to the shear-action between layers parallel to the plate surface which cannot be directly included in the two-dimensional elements. An empirical formula is derived which accounts for the shear-action and renders the finite-element predictions in line with experimentally observed data.

AbstractWith modern-day technical advances, high sagittal oblique osteotomy (HSOO) of the mandible was recently described as an alternative to bilateral sagittal split osteotomy for the correction of mandibular skeletal deformities. However, neither in vitro nor numerical biomechanical assessments have evaluated the performance of fixation methods in HSOO. The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical characteristics and stress distribution in bone and osteosynthesis fixations when using different designs and placing configurations, in order to determine a favourable plating method. We established two finite element models of HSOO with advancement (T1) and set-back (T2) movements of the mandible. Six different configurations of fixation of the ramus, progressively loaded by a constant force, were assessed for each model. The von Mises stress distribution in fixations and in bone, and bony segment displacement, were analysed. The lowest mechanical stresses and minimal gradient of displacement between the proximal and distal bony segments were detected in the combined one-third anterior- and posterior-positioned double mini-plate T1 and T2 models. This suggests that the appropriate method to correct mandibular deformities in HSOO surgery is with use of double mini-plates positioned in the anterior one-third and posterior one-third between the bony segments of the ramus.

Laser shock processing is a technique similar to shot peening that imparts compressive residual stresses in materials for improved fatigue resistance. Finite element analysis techniques have been applied to predict the residual stresses from Laser shock processing. The purpose of this paper is to investigate of the different sheet thickness interactions on the stress distribution during the laser shock processing of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy by using the finite element software. The results indicate that the sheet thickness has little effects on the compression stress in the depth of sheet, but great impacts on the reserve side.
