This article presents a comparison between different attachment systems used to retain and
support maxillary and mandibular overdentures in completely edentulous patients. A …

Background: Occlusal overloading is the primary cause of biomechanical implant
complications, which include fracture and/or loosening of the implant fixture and/or …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Primary implant stability and bone density are variables that
are considered essential to achieve predictable osseointegration and long-term clinical …

Objectives: Our aim was to analyze and compare systematically the relative and interactive
effects of implant diameter, length, and taper on calculated crestal bone strains. Material and …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Information about the influence of occlusal loading by location
on the stress distribution in an implant-supported fixed partial denture and supporting bone …

Background: Short implants present superior failure rates for everybody. Purpose: The aim
of this theoretic study was to assess to what extent implant length and bicortical anchorage …

This study investigated the stress distribution at the bone/implant interface with a three-
dimensional finite element stress analysis by using three different cantilever and implant …

In this paper, we provide a review of mechanical finite element analyses applied to the
maxillary and/or mandibular bone with their associated natural and restored structures. It …

Purpose: A 3-dimensional finite element model consisting of a bone block and 2 simulated
premolar crowns supported by 2 adjacent cylindric implants without immediately …

This study used three-dimensional finite element analysis to investigate the effect of three
different occlusal surface materials (resin, resin composite, and porcelain) and four different …
