Investigation of Strain and deformation analysis of Biomaterial in Dental Implant: A 3D FEA Study

In this study, the deformation and strain values in the periimplant bone were assessed in order to examine the impacts of three different dental implant thread pitch settings. In this work, the diameter, length, material, and elastic modulus impacts on the biomechanical behaviour of a new dental implant were predicted using the finite element method. Both a three-dimensional dental implant model and a mandibular segment model that matched the premolar region were acquired. loads that are axially applied. The dental implant models were built using Solidworks 2021, and the simulations were carried out using Ansys / CAE. In this work, FEA was used to analyse how the bioactive material (30% CFR PEEK) and implant thread design influenced strain and distortion in the implantation. According to the study's hypotheses, the 30% CFR PEEK implant system will be made of an isotropic, homogeneous, and linearly elastic material. Using the modelling software tools Solidworks and Ansys Workbench, strain and deformation at the implant and implant-cortical bone contact are examined and evaluated. In the present investigation, FEA was used to analyse how the bioactive material (30% CFR PEEK) and thread design affected strain and distortion in the implantation system. The 30% CFR PEEK implant system will reportedly be built of an isotropic, homogenous, and linearly elastic substance, according to the study's hypothesis. We study and assess strain and distortion at the implant, cortical and cancellous bone using the modelling software tools Solidworks and Ansys Workbench.

Analysis of the Effect of Thread Depth in Four Different Thread Designs on the Stress Distribution at the Implant-bone Interface Using Finite Element Analysis – A Comparative Three-Dimensional In vitro Study

ABSTRACT Statement of Problem: Treatment with dental implants owes much of its success to the development and maintenance of an osseointegrated bone-implant interface. The development of this interface is influenced by various factors, of which implant thread design plays a dominant role. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of thread depth in four different thread designs on the stress distribution at the implant-bone interface using three-dimensional finite element analysis. Materials and Methods: Four implant models with different thread shapes, namely V thread, square thread, buttress thread, and reverse buttress thread with an uniform thread depth of 0.4 mm were designed. These models were then placed in the mandibular first molar region. Force of 100 N was applied axially and at 45°angle to the implant. Von Mises stress was measured at the implant – Bone interface area and compared for the different designs. Results: The color plots obtained were studied and the maximum Von Mises stress was noted and tabulated for each condition. Stress distribution in the finite element models comes in the numerical values and in color coding. Maximum values of Von Mises stress are denoted by red color and minimum value by blue color. In between, the values are represented by bluish green, green, greenish yellow, and yellowish red in the ascending order of stress distribution. Conclusion: Thread design plays an important role in stress distribution in implant and bone. Varying Von Mises stress is seen at the cortical bone-implant and cancellous bone-implant interface. Clinical Implication: Successful osseointegration is necessary for implant success and thread design plays a very important role in osseointegration. Therefore, the selection of implants with proper thread design contributes greatly to the success of an implant-retained prosthesis.

The Effect of V-Thread and Square Thread Dental Implants on Bone Stresses

The relationship between implant thread design and dental bone arguably has an influence on the distribution of bone stresses. However, the existing data on the influence of the thread profiles on bone stresses is considerably conflicting. For example, some studies concluded that thread shape has a substantial effect on the intensity of bone stresses, while others revealed that thread shape has no effect on the intensity of bone stresses. Accordingly, this study aims to computationally investigate and compare the effect of dental implant thread design on bone stresses under axial loading using a finite element analysis (FEA) approach. A geometrical model of V-thread and square thread implants, with a fixed thread pitch of 0.8 mm and a depth of 42 mm, and the surrounding bone was developed to assess the stresses generated within the implant components and bone structure under a 114 N axial load. The simulation is primarily concerned with the von Mises stresses within the implant components and the surrounding bone. The results demonstrate that the V-thread implant causes extremely high stress on the cortical and cancellous bones compared to the square thread implant. For example, the maximum stresses induced in the cortical bone are 195.3 MPa and 68.8 MPa, while the maximum stresses created in the cancellous bone are 19.7 Mpa and 2.2 Mpa in both designs, respectively. In addition, the cortical bone stresses substantially exceed the implant body stresses in both designs, with maximum stresses of 93.18 Mpa and 41 Mpa for V-thread and square-thread implants, respectively. However, the implant thread shape doesn’t affect the stress distribution in the abutment and screw. In general, the results show that implant thread design can result in featured mechanical stresses in the implant body and bone structure.

Configurations of implant threads: A Review

The dental implants are used for replacement of missing teeth, and it’s have been widely used for restore the function, esthetic, speech, and patient confidence. It forms the contact between the implant and the bone. The implant threads are altered to improve the initial contact, primary stability, increase the surface area, and facilitate dissipation of loads at the implant and bone surface. Implant thread design is one of the key factors it determines the primary stability and stress distribution during osseointegration, the threaded implants are reduced both stress on bone and sliding distance between the implant and bone. The primary stability is play a important role in less bone quality, double and triple threaded implant increases the primary stability than single threaded implant, the implant threads distribute mechanical stress equally at bone implant interface, lead to stability of dental implants and less bone resorption and also higher thread profile improve the primary stability, the success or failure of implants depend on the thread designs and quality of bone.

Impact of implant thread design on insertion torque and osseointegration: a preclinical model.

Successful osseointegration of endosteal dental implants has been attributed to implant design, including the macro-, micro- and nano- geometric properties. Based on current literature pertaining to implant design, the resultant cellular and bone healing response is unknown when the thread thickness of the implants is increased, resulting in an increased contact area in implants designed with healing chambers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of two implant designs with different thread profiles on the osseointegration parameters and implant stability at 3- and 6-weeks in vivo using a well-established preclinical dog model. A total of 48 type V Ti alloy implants were divided in two groups according to their thread design (D1= +0.1x/mm and D2= +0.15x/mm) and placed in an interpolated fashion into the radii of six beagles. Insertion torque was measured at time of placement, radii were extracted for histological processing following 3- and 6-week healing intervals. Histologic and histomorphometric analyses were performed in terms of bone to implant contact (%BIC) and bone area fraction occupancy within implant threads (%BAFO). Statistical analyses were performed through a linear mixed model with fixed factors of time and implant thread design. Surface roughness analysis demonstrated no significant differences in Sa and Sq between D1 and D2 implant designs, which confirmed that both implant designs were homogenous except for their respective thread profiles. For insertion torque, statistically significant lower values were recorded for D1 in comparison to D2 (59.6 ± 11.1 and 78.9 ± 10.1 N⋅cm, respectively). Furthermore, there were no significant differences with respect to histological analysis and histomorphometric parameters, between D1 and D2 at both time points. Both thread profiles presented equivalent potential to successfully osseointegrate in the osteotomies, with D2 yielding higher mechanical retention upon placement without detrimental bone resorption.

The difference was significant (P< 0.05).Conclusion: Spiral implants had higher survival rate and minimum less bone loss as compared to dual fit implants. The use of CBCTcould aid in the accurate identification of bone loss around dental implants.

How do implant threads and diameters affect the all-on-four success? A 3D finite element analysis study

The effect of different thread designs and diameters on the all-on-four concept is unclear. The aim of the study was to clarify the differences in stress distribution of dental implants with various thread designs and diameters based on the all-on-four concept with three dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA). A 3D model of a totally edentulous mandible was used to perform the FEA. Four different models (M1, M2, M3, and M4) including 3.5 and 4.3 mm diameter dental implants with active and passive threaded designs were generated. The dental implants were positioned according to the all-on-four concept. The Von Mises stresses on dental implants and maximum and minimum principal stresses (Pmax and Pmin) on bony structures were calculated under vertical, oblique and horizontal loads. For Von Mises stresses, the highest stress values were detected on the distal implants for all models. Distal implants had also the highest stress values for vertical loading. The Von Mises stresses were found to be concentrated around the implant's neck. In all models the highest Pmax and Pmin stresses occurred in the bone surrounding the distal implant. It was noted that the active threaded implants showed the highest Pmax and Pmin stress values. The implant thread design and diameter might have a strong influence on the stress values in the all-on-four concept.

Influence of the Residual Ridge Widths and Implant Thread Designs on Implant Positioning Using Static Implant Guided Surgery.

Aggressive implant macrothread designs have been widely used. However, the effects of the aggressive thread design on the accuracy of static guided surgery, especially in a case of narrow residual ridge, have not been well-studied. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of two different implant macrothread designs and the residual ridge widths on the accuracy of tooth-supported static guided implant surgery. Forty implant fixtures with two different macrodesigns: a conventional thread design bone level tapered (BLT), and an aggressive thread design bone level tapered (BLX) were placed in 40 simulated polyurethane models with narrow and wide residual ridges. The placed implant positions were compared with the planned implant position and angulational deviation, as well as three-dimensional (3D) deviations at the entry and apex of the implant were measured. One-way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons (ɑ = 0.05) were used to determine level of significance between the mean and variance deviation values. 95% confidence intervals and box plots were used to demonstrate the means and ranges of precision. In terms of angulational deviation, there was no statistically significant difference in the mean deviations for both types of implants, p = 1.55 and p = 0.84 for wide and narrow ridge groups, respectively. However, the range of deviation was much larger in the narrow ridge of the BLX group compared to the BLT group. In both narrow ridge and wide ridge, the BLX group had lower mean 3D deviation values at both the entry and the apex with statistically significant differences for both entry point of the wide ridge (p = 0.027) and narrow ridge (p = 0.022) as well as at the apex of the wide ridge (p = 0.006) but not the apex of the narrow ridge (p = 0.142). The aggressive larger thread design of dental implants may influence the accuracy of implant placement more than the ridge dimension.

Dental implant thread profile optimization using Taguchi approach

Dental Implants are commonly used for replacement of the natural teeth due to damage occurred because of old age, infection. The stress distribution around the implant decides the implant success and its stability. The thread design of the implant is critical in ensuring an even distribution of stress around the implant. In this study the design of the implant thread of dental implant with buttress thread profile was optimized to reduce the stress at bone-implant interface using Taguchi method (Full Factorial Design). The control factors (Pitch, Height, depth of the implant thread design and two levels of these three parameters) were placed in an L8 orthogonal array. The eight thread design combinations derived from orthogonal array were used to prepare the CAD models and further subjected to Finite element analysis to find the optimized von Mises stress. These thread design combinations were further subjected to Factorial Analysis (pareto chart of effects), One-way ANOVA analysis, and the main effects plots were found for the response. The results showed that the thread design with pitch as 1.2 mm, height as 0.07 mm and depth as 0.41 is optimum design. The pareto chart of effects and ANOVA showed that the depth of the implant thread design proved to be most significant parameter and had most influence on the von Mises stress at bone-implant interface.

Three-Dimensional Finite Element Investigation into Effects of Implant Thread Design and Loading Rate on Stress Distribution in Dental Implants and Anisotropic Bone

Variations in the implant thread shape and occlusal load behavior may result in significant changes in the biological and mechanical properties of dental implants and surrounding bone tissue. Most previous studies consider a single implant thread design, an isotropic bone structure, and a static occlusal load. However, the effects of different thread designs, bone material properties, and loading conditions are important concerns in clinical practice. Accordingly, the present study performs Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulations to investigate the static, quasi-static and dynamic response of the implant and implanted bone material under various thread designs and occlusal loading directions (buccal-lingual, mesiodistal and apical). The simulations focus specifically on the von Mises stress, displacement, shear stress, compressive stress, and tensile stress within the implant and the surrounding bone. The results show that the thread design and occlusal loading rate have a significant effect on the stress distribution and deformation of the implant and bone structure during clinical applications. Overall, the results provide a useful insight into the design of enhanced dental implants for an improved load transfer efficiency and success rate.

Evaluation of biomechanical effects of different implant thread designs and diameters on all-on-four concept

Aim All-on-four concept involves the use of four anterior dental implants in the edentulous jaw to overcome anatomic limitations of residual alveolar bone. The impact of implant thread design and diameter on the biomechanical performance of all-on-four concept is not yet fully understood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical behavior of all-on-four concept with different combinations of thread designs and diameters through a three dimensional Finite Element Analysis. Materials and methods Six three-dimensional finite element models of edentulous mandible were developed. The models included the combinations of 3.5 and 4.3 mm diameter implants with active and passive thread designs. Vertical, oblique and horizontal loads were applied anterior to the end of the cantilever. Von Mises, maximum principal and minimum principal stresses were analysed. Results The results indicated a tendency towards stress reduction in Von Mises stress values of dental implants with the increase in diameter for both mesial and distal implants. In narrow implants active thread design resulted in lower Von Mises stress values than passive thread design. Active thread design demonstrated higher bone stress when compared to passive thread design. The analysis also revealed the importance of mesial implant for diminishing stresses on the distal implant and their surrounding bone under horizontal and oblique loading. Conclusion The comparison of the models suggest that use of wide implant is advantageous in the all-on-four concept. There is a biomechanical advantage in using narrow implants with active thread design in horizontally inadequate bone. The thread design was more significant in terms of increasing bone stress than implant diameter. The mesial implant influences the biomechanical behavior of the whole design, contributing to a more favorable stress distribution under horizontal and oblique loading conditions.

Comparison of Marginal Bone Levels Around Tissue-Level Implants with Platform-Matched and Bone-Level Implants with Platform-Switching Connections: 1-Year Results of a Prospective Cohort Study with a Split-Mouth Design.

This clinical study was conducted to compare the influence of a platform-switched bone-level implant and a platform-matched tissue-level implant on marginal bone loss during the first year after loading. Edentulous subjects who applied for two-implant-retained mandibular overdentures and showing sufficient bone volume for implants with 4.3-mm diameter and 12-mm length were enrolled. For standardization reasons, all subjects received a platform-matched tissue-level implant and a platform-switched bone-level implant in the anterior mandible. Since implants from the same manufacturer were used, both implants had identical implant thread designs and surface properties. All subjects received two-implant-retained mandibular overdentures with opposing maxillary complete dentures, and the implants were loaded after 6 weeks. Marginal bone loss was monitored via panoramic radiographs obtained immediately after loading and at the 6- and 12-month recalls after implant loading, and periodontal parameters, such as pocket probing depths, Plaque Index scores, and bleeding on probing, were also measured and recorded. Twenty-six patients received 26 bone-level and 26 tissue-level implants. No statistically significant differences were detected between the bone loss of the two groups for all the measurements (P > .05). Additionally, no significant difference was detected between the measured periodontal parameters of the two groups (P > .05). Within the limitations of this prospective clinical study with a follow-up time of 12 months, it can be concluded that the platform-switching bone-level design and the platform-matching tissue-level design show similar bone loss in the anterior edentulous mandible.

Effect of supplemental acid-etching on the early stages of osseointegration: A preclinical model

PurposeTo evaluate the effect of two surface modifications on early osseointegration parameters of conical implants in a translational pre-clinical model. Materials and methodsConical implants with progressive trapezoidal threads and healing chambers were evaluated consisting of two different surface conditions: 1) Implacil surface (IMP Sur), and 2) Implacil surface + Supplemental Acid-etching (IMP Sur + AE). Surface characterization comprised of the evaluation of roughness parameters (Sa, Sq and Sdr), surface energy and contact angle. Subsequently, implants were installed in the ilium crest of nine female sheep (weighing ~65 kg). Torque out, histological and histomorphometric analyses were conducted after 3 and 6 weeks in-vivo. The percentage of bone to implant contact (%BIC) and bone area fraction occupancy within implant threads (%BAFO) were quantified, and the results were analyzed using a general linear mixed model analysis as function of surface treatment and time in-vivo. ResultsSupplemental acid etching significantly increased Sa and Sq roughness parameters without compromising the surface energy or contact angle, and no significant differences with respect to Sdr. Torque-out testing yielded significantly higher values for IMP Sur + AE in comparison to the IMP Sur at 3- (62.78 ± 15 and 33.49 ± 15 N.cm, respectively) and 6-weeks (60.74 ± 15 and 39.80 ± 15 N.cm, respectively). Histological analyses depicted similar osseointegration features for both surfaces, where an intramembranous-type healing pattern was observed. At histomorphometric analyses, IMP Sur + AE implants yielded higher values of BIC in comparison to IMP Sur at 3- (40.48 ± 38 and 27.98 ± 38%, respectively) and 6-weeks (45.86 ± 38 and 34.46 ± 38%, respectively). Both groups exhibited a significant increase in %BAFO from 3 (~35%) to 6 weeks (~44%), with no significant differences between surface treatments. ConclusionSupplemental acid-etching and its interplay with implant thread design, positively influenced the BIC and torque-out resistance at early stages of osseointegration.

The outcomes express the submission of thread outlines at various grades of osseointegration needed an important result on the stress circulation outlines in the adjacent thin shape.

Influence Of Implant Thread’s Cross-Sectional Design On The Micromotion Of The Implants In Different Bone Qualities: Finite Element Analysis

Aim: To evaluate the effect of the implant’s thread cross sectional design on the micromotion of the implants in different bone qualities. Materials and methods: In this finite element analysis study, four implant models exhibiting four different thread designs were created using Solidworks software. Each model was assembled in four different bone quality models resulting in 16 groups. Each group was examined for micromotion under 100N force using ANSYS software. Results: D1 bone showed the lowest micromotion while D4 bone showed the highest, regardless the thread design. In D1 and D2 bone, v-shaped thread showed the lowest micromotion, which was lower than the square thread and the buttress was lower than the reverse buttress. While in D3 and D4 bone, the lowest micromotion was observed with the square thread, which was lower than the v-shaped and the reverse buttress thread was lower than the buttress thread. Conclusion: Micromotion decreases as the bone quality increases irrelevant of the implant thread design. In D1 and D2 bone, the best thread to be used is the v-shaped thread, while in D3 and D4 bone, the best is the square shaped thread.

Evaluation of stress distribution in maxillary anterior bone from three different tapered implant thread designs with two angulated abutments: A 3-dimensional finite element analysis study

Background: Tapered implants imitate the natural form of the root. They are known to enhance primary stability by providing pressure on the cortical bone of regions with poor bone qualities and also has a good survival rate as it directs stresses away from the crestal cortical bone while transferring it to the cancellous bone.Purpose: Maxillary anatomic constraints sometimes make it necessary to surgically position implants at angles that are not optimal for prosthetic restorations or by positioning the implant in the area with the greatest available bone, with the intention of correcting the implant alignment at the time of prosthetic restoration. This is made possible, in carefully planned cases with the use of angulated abutments.Materials and Methods: Three tapered implants with triangular, square, and buttress thread designs having a 15° and 25° angulated abutment were created. The implant models were positioned in anterior maxillary bone D2 and D3 and clinical loading conditions simulated. The maximum equivalent von Mises stress values were recorded and analyzed using ANSYS software.Results: The finite element analysis carried out showed less stresses from tapered implant square thread design in D2 and D3 bone with 15° angulated abutment, while buttress thread design performed better in D2 and D3 bone with 25° abutment angulation on axial and nonaxial loading.Conclusion: Bone type is an important factor that affects stress distribution. More stress occurred in D3 bone compared to D2 bone type. Thus, bone type should be carefully considered when choosing the most appropriate implant design.

The Effect of Different Dental Implant Thread Designs on Stress Distribution on Bone – A Systematic Review

The Effect of Different Dental Implant Thread Designs on Stress Distribution on Bone – A Systematic Review

Effects of implant thread design on primary stability\u2014a comparison between single- and double-threaded implants in an artificial bone model

BackgroundPrimary implant stability is essential for osseointegration. To increase stability without changing the implant size, the thread length must be extended by reducing pitch, using a double-threaded implant, or reducing pitch/lead and lead angle to half that of a single-threaded implant.Materials and methodsWe tested the stabilities of these configurations using artificial bone. A 1.2-mm pitch, single-threaded implant (12S) was the control. We tested a 0.6-mm pitch/1.2-mm-lead double-threaded implant (06D) and a 0.6-mm pitch/lead single-threaded implant (06S). We compared stabilities by measuring insertion torque, removal torque, and the implant stability quotient (ISQ). Damage to bone tissue caused by the implants was evaluated using microscopy and morphometric analysis.ResultsWe show that 06D and 06S significantly improved stability compared with the 12S reference. The stability of 06S was significantly greater compared with that of 06D, except for ISQ. The three implants were associated with bone tissue damage characterized by debris and voids surrounding the implant/bone interface. The 06D caused the most tissue damage, followed by 06S and then 12S.ConclusionThese findings indicate that primary stability was significantly improved by changing the implant size, extending the thread length with reduced pitch/lead, and reducing the lead angle to half that of a single-threaded implant compared with a double-threaded implant.

Comparison of histomorphometry and microradiography of different implant designs to assess primary implant stability.

To contribute toward optimizing the long-term stability of dental implants. Our working hypothesis was that the degrees of immediate implant-bone contact, and hence of primary stability, would demonstrably differ between implant systems due to their different external geometries and thread designs (macro-design). This demonstration was provided in a bovine model (ex vivo) by employing and comparing histomorphometry and microradiography as evaluation methods. A total of 120 implants, representing six different implant thread designs, were inserted following the recommended surgical protocol in ribs of freshly slaughtered cattle. Twenty specimens of implants with surrounding bone were prepared per system and were divided into two equally sized groups of 60 specimens for analysis by either histomorphometry or micro-computed tomography. Data were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test (P ≤ .05). One of the implant systems, featuring a slight tapered external geometry and a progressive thread design, consistently revealed the most favorable bone-implant contacts in both histomorphometric and microradiographic evaluations. Overall, consistently higher values of bone-implant contact were obtained with the microradiographic than the histomorphometric approach, and this difference reached statistical significance in three of the six implant systems tested. Progressive threads offering a bone-condensing effect can significantly help to maximize implant-bone contact percentages. Compared to histomorphometry, microradiography is likewise a suitable method to evaluate bone-implant contact, offering the additional benefits of being noninvasive and less time consuming.

To Evaluate the Influence of Different Implant Thread Designs on Stress Distribution of Osseointegrated Implant: A Three-Dimensional Finite-Element Analysis Study–An In Vitro Study

Abstract Introduction Dental implants are common treatment modality for tooth loss which leads to unaesthetic appearance and may also cause deterioration of mastication and speech. The aim of implant therapy in dentistry is to restore tissue contour, function, comfort, aesthetic, and speech. Dental implant role is to transfer the mechanical force created during chewing to the supporting osseous tissues within the mandible and maxilla. The importance of biomechanical factors such as the bone-implant interface, implant thread design, the length and diameter of implants, type of loading, the quality and quantity of surrounding bone have been strained by various authors. The selection of implant thread design plays an important role in the outcome of the treatment. This study was done to evaluate the influence of different thread designs on stress distribution of osseointegrated implant using three-dimensional (3D) finite-element analysis. Materials and Methods Three implants with different thread designs, namely V-thread, buttress, and reverse buttress thread designs were considered and dimensions were standardized. The site considered was the mandibular molar region with cortical and cancellous bone assuming to be isotropic and homogeneous. The implant modeling was done with the ANSYS 18.1 software. Axial load (100N) and buccolingual load (50N) were applied. The stresses were calculated as Von Mises stress criterion. Results Minimum von mises Stress concentration was seen for tapered implant body with reverse buttress thread design under axial load 100N and tapered implant body with V-thread under buccolingual load of 50N at cortical bone which signifies bone preservation. Stress levels were observed maximum at implant and minimum at the cancellous bone. Conclusion Hence, within the limitations of this study the results obtained can be applied clinically for appropriate selection of implant thread design for a predictable success of implant therapy.
