Objectives:
Recently, zirconia ceramic and glass or carbon fiber-reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) composites have been introduced as newer implant biomaterials. This study was done to evaluate stress and deformation in bone with glass fiber-reinforced (GFR)-PEEK, zirconia, and titanium implants.
Materials And Methods:
A geometric model of mandibular molar replaced with implant-supported crown was generated. Implant of 12 mm length and 4.5 mm diameter was used in study. Finite element analysis models of implant assemblies of three materials GFR-PEEK, zirconium, and titanium were generated. 150 N loads were applied obliquely and vertically along the long axis of implant. Von Mises stresses and deformation generated were compared using ANSYS Workbench 17.0 and finite element software.
Results:
All three implant assemblies, i.e., GFR-PEEK, zirconia, and titanium, demonstrated similar stresses and deformation in bone without significant difference.
Conclusion:
It was concluded that GFR-PEEK and zirconia implants can be used as a substitute to titanium implants.
