Abstract:
In this work, an uncertainty optimization approach for dental implant is proposed to reduce the stress at implant-bone interface. Finite element method is utilized to calculate the stress at implant-bone interface, and support vector regression is used to replace finite element method to ease the computational cost. Deterministic optimization based on support vector regression is conducted, which demonstrates that the method using support vector regression replacing finite element method in dental implant optimization is efficient and reliable. Global sensitivity analysis based on support vector regression is used to assign different uncertainties (manufacturing errors) to different design variables to save the manufacturing cost. Two popular uncertainty optimization methods, k-sigma method and interval method, are used for the uncertainty optimization of dental implant. The results indicate that the stress at implant-bone interface is reduced greatly considering the uncertainties in design variables with the manufacturing cost increasing a little. This approach can be promoted to other types of bio-implants.

Regression Analysis
In regression analysis, a regression equation is determined based on the line of best fit– a line that best fits the data points plotted in a graph. This line is also called the regression line. The algebraic equation for the regression line is called the regression equation. It is represented as:
