Abstract
Was to create a finite element design to evaluate the masticatory stress distribution on the full fixed prosthesis with three supporting implants and the mandibular bone in the conditions most closely resembling the real ones. The geometric design was created with the results of a CBCT of a real patient. The transfer of the DICOM into STL format was carried out in the Mimics Medical 21 program, in which the author's splinting device for the implant was designed. The actual thicknesses of the patient's compact and cancellous bone layers were measured with Romexis ver. 4.5.1. Scanning of the artificial dentition was performed with the iTero Element 2 Version 1.7 which created an object in STL format. Design was performed in the package for finite element analysis Ansys 19.3. Tetrahedral elements of the second order were used for calculation. The structural elements were connected in the model by a rigid «Bonded» contact. A finite element model has been created for the experimental load design on the lower jaw for immediate implant restoration with few supports in combination with a device for stabilizing the implant in unfavorable clinical conditions. It is shown that the designed finite element model takes into account the biomechanics of the prosthesis with few supports. When calculating, the entire model was fixed to the mandibular process at its base, and was loaded with a force of 500 N, distributed over the teeth. The values of the maximum stresses obtained in the elements were 51.8 MPa for the compact layer and 245 MPa for titanium elements. Thus, we created personalized geometric and finite element models for calculating the distribution of functional load on a long full fixed implant-supported prosthesis with few artificial supports, which makes the experimental results more accurate and correct.
