WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT?
 Dental implant is an artificial titanium fixture
(similar to those used in orthopedics)
which is placed surgically into the jaw bone to
substitute for a missing tooth and its root(s).

Surgical Procedure
STEP 1: INITIAL SURGERY
STEP 2: OSSEOINTEGRATION PERIOD
STEP 3: ABUTMENT CONNECTION
STEP 4: FINAL PROSTHETIC RESTORATION

History of Dental Implants
In 1952, Professor Per-Ingvar Branemark,
a Swedish surgeon, while conducting research
into the healing patterns of bone tissue,
accidentally discovered that when pure titanium
comes into direct contact with the living bone
tissue, the two literally grow together to form a
permanent biological adhesion. He named this
phenomenon "osseointegration".

First Implant Design by Branemark
All the implant designs are obtained by the
modification of existing designs.

The FEA of the 3.5 mm Bicon
Implant-Abutment-Bone system under
central occlusal loads
Assumptions:
• Analyses were linear, static and assumed that materials
were elastic, isotropic and homogenous.
• 100% osseointegration is assumed between bone and
implant. Bone and implant are assumed to be perfectly
bonded.
• The stresses in the bone due to the interference fit between
implant and abutment is assumed to be relaxed after the
insertion of the abutment.www.indiandentalacademy.com
Finite Element Model
 29117 Solid 45 Brick Elements (32000 limit)
 Symmetry boundary conditions on two cross-sections
and fixed in all dofs from the bottom of the bone.

RESULTS
 Effect of bone’s elastic modulus on the overall
stress distribution: Different finite element analyses
are run by varying bone mechanical properties
surrounding the implant. (1-16 GPa)
The properties of the bone depends on the location in
the jaw, the gender and age of the patient.

 Bone Modulus: 16 GPa
 Force: Vertical 100 N
 Bone Modulus: 1 GPa
 Force: Lateral 20 N
 Bone Modulus: 16 GPa
 Force: Lateral 20 N
 Bone Modulus: 1 GPa

• Both the stress distribution and the stress levels
are effected significantly as the bone modulus is
varied.
• CT scan data may be a good source for obtaining
patient dependent implant designs.

 Maximum vertical and lateral load carrying capacity of
the bone:
The failure limit of the bone due to fatigue is 29 MPa.
[Evans et al.]
 Force: Vertical 920 N
 Bone Modulus: 10 GPa
 Force: Lateral 40 N
 Bone Modulus: 10 GPa
Lateral loads cause approximately 25 times higher
stresses in the bone than the vertical loads.www.indiandentalacademy.com
