Background:

Osseointegration of titanium dental implants is crucial for fixation strength.
Quantifying factors influencing implant anchoring requires systematization.
Removal torque is a common metric for assessing bone-implant fixation strength.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce and derive a global biomechanical model for dental implant removal torque.
To investigate the relationship between surface topography and interfacial shear strength.
To identify key factors influencing the anchoring strength of dental implants.

Main Methods:

Development of a global biomechanical model for removal torque analysis.
Inclusion of a gap formation between bone and implant in the model.

Analysis of surface roughness parameters, including mean slope and R(a), and their correlation with shear strength.

Main Results:

The size of the gap at fracture is a function of surface roughness, directly related to the mean slope.
Interfacial shear strength increases almost linearly with the mean slope.
Interfacial shear strength also increases with the 2D surface roughness parameter R(a).

Conclusions:

Surface roughness significantly influences the osseointegration and anchoring strength of dental implants.
Implant design, bone anatomy, and bone quality also impact interfacial shear strength.
The developed biomechanical model can optimize implant design and surface topography for enhanced anchoring.
