Abstract
In this mathematical experiment, a comparative study of microdeformations and von Mises equivalent stresses arising in the elements of two orthopedic bridge structures with different abutment shapes was conducted using the finite element method. The strength limits of both structures were also compared. The structures under study had the same external geometry and corresponded to two premolars and the first molar. The difference between the models under study was in the superstructures that are inserted and fixed in the implants and serve as a support for artificial crowns. The first model used flat superstructures (or flat abutments), while the second model used conical superstructures (or universal multi-units). The data obtained indicate the clinical significance of choosing the optimal abutment shape when planning surgical interventions and predicting subsequent patient treatment results.
