Abstract
In this study, we propose a new short dental implant and investigate its bio-mechanical characteristics by using three dimensional finite element analyses. The proposed dental implant has the central cavity which can be integrated with the core of cancellous bone remained by trepanning drill. We take the Bicon short implant as a reference model for studying the effects according to the shape of cavity. The parametric finite element model using ANSYS APDL has been built to determine which length, diameter and thread of central cavity would be effective to dissipate stress. The reduction of undesirable stress in adjacent bone which can suppress bone defects and the eventual failure of implants. The numerical results shows that the cavity of well-determined shape has the beneficial effects on reducing the bone absorption in cancellous bone.
