Abstract In this paper, an FEM model is used to analyse the effect of facet material on the load transfer from implant to bone, as one aspect of the broader research, including the effects of a different crown design (connected and separated), a different facet material (porcelain and resin), and different loading (force at one or two points), whereas the focus is on the facet material effect in the connected crown loaded at one point. Results indicate significant reduction of maximum stress if the epoxy resin is used instead of porcelain. Keywords: stress distribution, dental implant, facet material, connected crowns |
