Abstract :

The aim of this work is to study the actions of designing parameters of dental implants including diameter, pitch, modulus of elasticity, and intact length on stress shielding in bone via remodeling effect. A 3D FEM model including mandible and implant was constructed. STP parameter was previously defined as the ratio of stress in screw to the stress in adjacent bone was implemented as the index of long-term remodeling based on strain energy density. Little values of STP were indicating the low stress transform between bone and implant which was considered as stress shielding. Increasing the pitch, modulus of elasticity, intact length, and implant diameter caused fewer values in STP. However increasing of modulus of elasticity in bone made STP lesser.
