Effect of different mucosa thickness and resiliency on stress distribution of implant-retained overdentures-2D FEA

TLDR
Overall, stress decreased at the supporting tissues as mucosa thickness and resiliency increased, and the use of bar-clip attachment system with distally placed o'ring attachment design optimized the stress distribution.

Influence of implant number on the biomechanical behaviour of mandibular implant-retained/supported overdentures: A three-dimensional finite element analysis

TL;DR: Single-implant-retained mandibular overdentures do not show damaging strain concentration in the bone around the only implant and may be a cost-effective treatment option for edentulous patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomechanics of oral mucosa

TL;DR: A critical review on four aspects of mucosal biomechanics, including static, dynamic, volumetric and interactive responses, which are interpreted by its elasticity, viscosity/permeability, apparent Poisson's ratio and friction coefficient are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of different designs of implant-retained overdentures and fixed full-arch implant-supported prosthesis on stress distribution in edentulous mandible--a computed tomography-based three-dimensional finite element analysis.

TL;DR: The use of fixed implant dentures and removable dentures retained by unsplinted implants to rehabilitate edentulous mandible reduced the stresses in the periimplant bone tissue, mucosa and implant/prosthetic components.

Biomechanics studies in dentistry: bioengineering applied in oral implantology.

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to describe engineering methods used in dentistry to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of osseointegrated implants using the use of photoelastic stress analysis, finite element stress analysis and strain-gauge analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Finite element analysis to compare complete denture and implant-retained overdentures with different attachment systems.

TL;DR: This finite element analysis compared stress distribution on complete dentures and implant-retained overdentures with different attachment systems and found unsplinted implants associated with the o'ring attachment system showed the lowest maximum stress values among all overdenture groups.

Application of finite element analysis in implant dentistry: A review of the literature

TL;DR: The current status of FEA applications in implant dentistry is reviewed and findings from FEA studies in relation to the bone-implant interface, the implant-prosthesis connection, and multiple-im implant prostheses are discussed.

The McGill consensus statement on overdentures.

TL;DR: On May 24-25, 2002, a symposium was held at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, during which scientists and expert clinicians presented 75 papers on the efficacy of overdentures for the treatment of edentulous patients.

Attachment systems for implant retained overdentures: a literature review.

TL;DR: A literature review based on a MEDLINE search limited to English-language articles published from 1988 to the present was performed, and a large number of attachments available in the dental market were reviewed with regard to several factors, including implant survival rate, marginal bone loss, soft tissue complications, retention, and retention.

A 10-year follow-up study of IMZ and TPS implants in the edentulous mandible using bar-retained overdentures.

TL;DR: This study presents data related to 136 patients who were treated with 300 implants in the edentulous mandible anterior to the mental foramina, using the titanium plasma-sprayed screw implant and the intramobile cylinder implant in three different modifications.
