Novel approach to assessing the primary stability of dental implants under functional cyclic loading < em > in vitro < /em > : a biomechanical pilot study using synthetic bone

CONCLUSIONS: In synthetic mandibular models, the cyclic reciprocal loading of dental implants with an average masticatory force produces significant loosening. The evasive movements observed in the alveolar bone suggest that its anatomy and yielding could significantly influence the force distribution and, consequently, the mechanical behaviour of dental implants. The 3D visualisation of the overall implant movement under functional cyclic loading complements known methods and can contribute to the development of implant designs and surgical techniques by providing a more profound understanding of dynamic bone-implant interactions.PMID:37857518 | DOI:10.5051/jpis.2301780089
