Abstract :
Short dental implant (SDI) placement has been proposed as an alternative to reduce the surgical risks related to the advanced grafting procedures. The aim of this study was to simulate the biomechanical behaviors and influences of SDI diameters under various conditions of bone quality by using a validated finite element (FE) model for simulation. The CT image and CAD system were combined to construct the FE models with 6 mm length SDIs for 6, 7 and 8 mm diameters under three types of bone qualities, from normal to osteoporotic. The simulated results showed that implant diameter did not influence the von Mises strains of bone under the vertical load. The bone strains increased about 58.58% in the bone of least density under lateral load. Lateral loads induced high bone strain and implant stress than vertical loads. The bone strains of 7 mm- and 8 mm-diameter short implants were not different, and both were about 52% and 66% compared to those of 6 mm-wide short implant under lateral loads. The von Mises stress of the SDIs and their compartments were all less than the yield stress of the material under vertical and lateral loads. SDIs with diameter of 7 mm or above may have better mechanical transmission in the same length at feasible condition. Attaining a proper occlusal scheme design or selective occlusal adjustments to reduce the lateral occlusal force upon the SDIs is recommended.
