Effect of Different Implant Length on Stress Distribution Around Dental Implants.

Dr. Shruti Anand

Abstract :

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stresses distribution pattern at the implant bone and implant abutment interface with varying implant length. A 3–D edentulous maxillary model was generated from computed tomography (CT) images. Four implants were placed in the premaxilla and splinted with a titanium bar. Three different configurations were evaluated with the distal implant varying in length (8 mm, 10 mm and 13 mm). A vertical load (120 N) was applied on the titanium bar corresponding to the left second premolar region. Von Mises stress values were evaluated. The results showed that stresses at the periimplant bone as well as at the implant abutment junction decreased on both the sides as the implant length increased. The surface area contact between the bone and implant increases leading to the implant absorbing more of the load and thereby decreasing the stresses.
