Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:This study applied finite element analysis (FEA) compared stress distribution characteristics of mandible,bilateral,SJ-1 bolt(extracoronal) distal extension attachment prostheses when the abutments were subject to eight different loss of periodontal support.METHODS:Finite element analysis.RESULTS:It was shown that periodontal support loss results in increased stress of the terminal abutment tooth without sudden changes.CONCLUSION:Compared favorable stress distribution result from splinted compromised abutment,and the first premolar periodontal support loss less than that of the second premolar and this loss below 30%.
