Abstract

The paper deals with the application of finite element method in determining the stress state in dental implants with different geometries subjected to various loads. Models that included mini dental implants and the bone used as a support are made in SolidWorks® and exported to Abaqus®. Obtained results show which load case is the most favourable in terms of structural integrity of the implants, which is of great importance considering the widespread use of mini dental implants in biomedical applications.

Keywords: mini dental implant, finite element method, biomaterials
