Abstract

The effect of dental implants loading and design on stress distribution in a mandible bone is analysed using the finite element method. Loading is modelled as a single force or as two equal halves. Implants are either separated or connected by a crown. In this way four different cases are presented and analysed in respect to stress distribution in mandible bone. It is concluded that the highest stress appears in separated implants, loaded in a single point, whereas the lowest stress is obtained in connected implants loaded in two points.

Keywords: • finite element method • stress distribution • dental implants • mandible bone
