Objective:
This study evaluated the stress distribution by loads, under a internal connection implant system with two sort of abutment screws and prosthetic crown models at ten observation points.
Materials And Method:
The analysis were made in two models with internal butt joint, and with gold and titanium screw, respectively. The load was 382N with 90 masculine to the occlusal surface and 15 masculine to the implant axis at 4 and 6 mm from the implant center.
Results:
In both models, a large amount of stress was located around the implant neck and little stress was concentrated along the abutment screw.
Conclusion:
The simulations made suggest that the internal connection protects the abutment screw from the accumulated stresses; however, it exposes the implant walls to these stresses.

Stresses under Combined Loadings
The process begins by slicing the tube at critical points and analyzing the internal forces and stress components at these sections, focusing on the centroid. Normal stresses, generated by axial forces and bending moments, are either compressive or tensile and vary across the section from...
Stress: General Loading Conditions
The shearing force, possessing potential directionality within the plane of the section, is simplified into two component forces running parallel to the x and y axes.

General State of Stress
Specifically, consider a tetrahedral element where one face, labeled XYZ, is perpendicular to the line OA, and the remaining faces align with the coordinate axes with point O as the origin. At any point, such as point O, the stress tensor can be used to determine the stress...
