Abstract

The aim of the present research was to evaluate the biomechanics of dental bridge with and without implant. Oral models were reconstructed by 3D computer tomography images to simulate oral environment. The stress is an important role in dental bridge applications for osseointegration. Many studies have investigated finite element researches for dental implants; however, few have evaluated a model for dental bridge with and without implant. The results revealed that abnormal focusing stress was found when dental bridge was used with implant. Moreover, the unbalance situation was found on the model with only one implant, the highest stress appeared in the present group. Dental bridge with implants would be an effective means of recovering dental performance. However, the present study showed that if only one pier with dental implant in bridge treatment has a potential to increase abnormal stress, and uniformly distributing stress.
