Finite element analysis of vertically loaded cylindrical Ti implants

Abstract

The following study was conducted in order to evaluate the effects of height, width and design variations on the stress distribution of vertically loaded, cylindrical titanium implants using finite element analysis (FEA). Three groups of cylindrical titanium TPS surface implants (Premium, Sweden & Martina, Italy) inserted into mandible segments were analysed. The three Premium implants in the first group were of different length (10.0, 11.5 and 13.0 mm) but possessed the same diameter of 3.80 mm. The second group consisted of three Premium implants with the same length of 11.5 mm but with different diameters (3.30, 3.80 and 4.25 mm). In the last group two different implant designs were compa..
