Abstract
The distribution of stress on short platform switched dental implants is of interest. Hence, the mandibular posterior molar area was modelled using a three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) with a continuous 1.5 mm cortical bone thickness and an inner cancellous bone core. The implants used in the study were 5 mm long, 4.5 mm wide and 3.5 mm wide at the abutments. 120 N of force was applied in both the vertical and oblique (20° and 35°) directions to create a realistic simulation. ANSYS Workbench was generated for each model. Von Mises stress was assessed in the cortical and cancellous bones at varying depths. Ten noded tetrahedron elements with three degrees of freedom per node were employed to interpret translations on the x, y, and z axes. The stress-based biomechanical behaviour of platform switched short osseo-integrated implants varied across all 5 positions in FEM simulations, based on the depth of implant placement, the direction of applied force, and the shape of the bone. Data shows that opposite forces to the vertical forces caused more damage. Thus, the implantation of subcrestal implants resulted in reduced stress on the cortical and cancellous bone.
