Abstract
Dental implants have been studied over the years to replace missing teeth. One of the conditions for the success of implants is their stability and resistance under the applied forces and minimal tension in the surrounding bone. The purpose of this dissertation is numerical and three-dimensional analysis of jaws with implants under mechanical and thermal loading by the finite element method. For this purpose, implant simulations (including ceramic crown, titanium root, and jaw bone) under dynamic and thermal load have been performed in Abacus software. In this simulation, it is considered that the jawbone is composed of two areas, one area is the superficial bone tissue (cortical) and the other part is the spongy tissue. Implants are usually made of different metals or ceramics with a bone-like structure that are compatible with body tissues. Implants are currently made of titanium metal. Therefore, titanium metal has been used for modeling implants in this dissertation. The implant crown is also considered as a ceramic material. In the simulation, the effect of stresses imposed by the implant on the jawbone is performed. In this simulation, mechanical force is applied to the upper part of the implant and force enters the jawbone through the implant, which causes tension at the junction of the implant to the jawbone. To investigate the effect of thermal loads, different temperature conditions are considered by considering the decrease in temperature and increase in temperature on the tooth surface and its effect on the implant and the jaw bone. After validation and ensuring the accuracy of the modeling, it has been observed that, with increasing mechanical load, the stresses created in all parts of the ceramic coating, titanium implants, and jawbone have increased. It is also observed that the stress created in the titanium implant due to the application of negative heat flux was about twice as much as the stress created due to the application of positive heat flux.
Highlights
Given the importance of the human body and the importance and impact of the type and properties of implants in the jaw, as well as its impact on human body function, choosing the best parameters both in terms of mechanical properties and biocompatibility is essential
Dental implants have been researched as a way to replace missing teeth
The goal of this research is to use the finite element method to conduct a numerical and three-dimensional analysis of jaws with implants under mechanical and thermal loads. us, we derive the stress distribution, strain, and displacement in the implant and jawbone by modeling the set of implants and jawbone while considering mechanical and thermal loads, and we investigate the effect of various parameters on them
Summary
Given the importance of the human body and the importance and impact of the type and properties of implants in the jaw, as well as its impact on human body function, choosing the best parameters both in terms of mechanical properties and biocompatibility (compatibility with the human body) is essential. The function of dental implants and its effect on the jaw bone is affected by mechanical and thermal loads, which is important and necessary to study this issue. Erefore, by modeling and analyzing the effect of dental implants on the jaw bone in terms of mechanical and thermal loading, as well as considering different properties for the implant, it is possible to have a detailed study on its performance, which is very important [1,2,3]. Ere are several alternatives to missing teeth, among which dental implants are the best choice Various reasons, such as the inability to withstand the forces and torques and the intolerance of high temperatures, can lead to failure in the implantation process. Dental implants are an alternative to shaven-tooth bridge prostheses, and the primary goal of introducing this therapy (dental implant) is to ensure that no teeth will be shaved or damaged in the future owing to the bridge base
