Abstract

The bioengineering and medical and biomedical fields are ever closer, and they manage to obtain surprising results for the development of new devices. The field of simulations and studies in silica has undergone considerable development in recent years, favoring the advancement of medicine. In this manuscript, a study was carried out to evaluate the force distribution on the implant components (In-Kone® Universal) and on the peri-implant tissues subjected to loading. With the finite element analysis and the Von Mises method, it was possible to evaluate this distribution of forces both at 0 degrees (occlusal force) and at 30 degrees; the applied force was 800 N. The obtained results on this new type of connection and on all the implant components are satisfactory; the distribution of forces appears optimal even on the peri-implant tissues. Surely, studies like this help to obtain ever more performing devices, improving both the clinic and the predictability of rehabilitations.

Summary

Introduction

The finite element technique, known with the acronym FEM (finite element method) has historically established itself for the study of structural phenomena related to stiffness, strength, and elastic stability of bodies. Modeling and computational analysis are giving medical engineering a significant competitive advantage by reducing risks, lowering costs, and accelerating innovation [1,2,3,4,5]. FEM analysis is a computer simulation technique applicable to many engineering sectors. The FEM analysis allows to describe a real system accurately and reliably, in order to obtain the physical quantities of interest [6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. These quantities could be displacements, temperatures, stresses, deformations, electric/-
