Abstract:
The finite element analysis method was used to obtain the stresses in the various structures in an endosseous implant-contiguous bone construct using a two-dimensional idealization. The results were obtained as a function of the materials used for the post and the crown of the implant. It is shown that these stresses are critically dependent on the post material (for a given crown material). The clinical significance of the results is discussed.
