| Abstract Scope |
In the immediate dental implant treatment, buccal bone resorption is a commonly seen complication, for which biomechanics can be one contributing factor. This work presents the results of a combined experimental and computational study of the biomechanics of dental implants. Human cadaveric mandibles specimens were obtained. Teeth were placed with dental implants. Mechanical testing coupled with micro-CT was performed. Bone morphology was analyzed. 3D full-field peri-implant strain was calculated by digital volume. The images were converted to voxel-based 3D finite element (FE) models to compute peri-implant strain. The experimentally measured strain and FE computed strain were in good agreement. The validated FE model was used to predict the peri-implant strain with different implant locations. This study shows that the mechanical stimuli in the buccal bone were altered by implant location and bone-implant contact. It may lead to different remodeling processes and result in different bone morphology. |
