Abstract:
The macro and micro design is essential to the biomechanical performance of a short implant. In this study, the implant thread parameters of short implants used in edentulous maxillae will be discussed. The aim of the study is to analyse biomechanical distinctions in different thread parameters over short implants by applying the vertical or oblique load of 130 N on dental prosthesis. A 6*5 mm implant will be used in posterior maxillae arch, where the molar region locates. The CAD model has been assembled by three parts, a crown, an implant system and a jaw. By applying the vertical or oblique load to the crown, the Von-Mises stresses of cortical bone and trabecular bone will be evaluated in pairs along the lines v1-v2 & a1-a2. The results showed that the reverse buttress thread would induce more stresses in cancellous bone whereas the buttress did the opposite. The trapezoidal thread (V-thread) is more favourable than the reverse buttress thread in accordance to the FEA result. The rectangle threads will induce more uneven stresses in cancellous bones.
