This study presents a new method for measuring forces on oral implants using strain gauges. The developed device accurately quantifies forces and moments, crucial for improving implant biomechanics.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Biomechanics
  • Dental Implantology

Background:

  • Oral implants are subject to complex forces impacting their longevity.
  • Accurate measurement of these forces is essential for understanding implant performance and failure modes.
  • Existing methods for force quantification on oral implants have limitations.

Observation:

  • A novel methodology utilizing strain gauges adapted to standard abutments (Brånemark System) was developed.
  • This system allows for the in vitro and in vivo quantification of normal forces and bending moments (X- and Y-axis).
  • The hardware and software of the 3D measuring device were detailed, and its accuracy was rigorously tested.

Findings:

  • The developed strain gauge system achieves an accuracy of 9.72 N for axial forces and 2.5 N x cm for bending moments.

  • In vivo analysis demonstrated the device's capability to record significant loads (450 N axial, 70 N x cm bending moments) in a patient with a full fixed mandibular prosthesis.
  • The device's accuracy meets the requirements for practical clinical and research applications.

    • Implications:

    • This technology provides a valuable tool for in vitro and in vivo biomechanical analysis of oral implants.
    • Further in vivo research is necessary to refine understanding and develop strategies for enhancing oral implant biomechanics.
    • The findings support the development of more robust and predictable dental implant solutions.
