Introduction: This study used finite element analysis to evaluate stress distribution of implants placed at different angulations under two loadings. Stress was measured at the implant-bone interface. Methods: Four models of implant and bone were manufactured via three-dimensional optical scanning and point cloud data extraction. They included implants placed: 1) Without tilt 2) tilted at 15o, 3) tilted at 30o, and 4) tilted at 45o. A tissue-level implant was scanned, and a mandible bone model was extracted from cone-beam computed tomography systems. A 3D model of the implants in the mandible were constructed. The finite element analyses were carried out using simulation software. The physical interaction at implant-bone interfaces during loading were considered through bonded surface-to-surface contacts. Static loading (with axial forces of 15.. Read More»
