FEM analysis of one element prosthesis on dental implant

In this paper, a complete biomechanical system made up of bone, implant and ceramic crown under axial loading is investigated by Finite Element Method (FEM). The system response evaluation has a major role in detecting the critical zones where possible damage, failure or rupture may occur jeopardizing the implant stability. Very accurate 3D geometrical model is used to calculate the stress, strain and displacement state in implant and surrounding bone. This analysis is completely concordant with clinical studies.
