The occlusal forces and their influence on the initiation of peri‐implant bone loss or their
relationship with peri‐implantitis have created discussion during the past 30 years given the …

Dental implants offer an effective solution for partial and total edentulism, but mechanical
and biological complications exist. Furthermore, high occlusal loads challenge implants and …

Background In a dental implant/bone system, the design factors affect the value and
distributions of stress and deformations that plays a pivotal role on the stability, durability …

The present work proposes a parametric finite element model of the general case of a single
loaded dental implant. The objective is to estimate and quantify the main effects of several …

In this study, we optimized the geometry and composition of additive-manufactured pedicle
screws. Metal powders of titanium-aluminum-vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) were mixed with reactive …

Background Mechanical complications affect the stability of implant restorations and are a
key concern for clinicians, especially with the frequent introduction of new implant designs …

Background. The design of an orthodontic mini-implant is a significant factor in determining
its primary stability and its clinical success. The aim of this study was to measure the relative …

Bruxism is an unconscious, involuntary and sustained motor activity that results in excessive
teeth grinding or jaw clenching that could affect patients' implants and rehabilitations. The …

Objectives In recent years, dental implants are increasing in popularity due to their high
success rate, demonstrated functionality, and aesthetic treatment results. Scientific research …

The inclusion of a healing chamber in dental implants has been shown to promote biological
healing. In this paper, a novel numerical approach to the design of the healing chamber for …
