Crestal strain of two-implant mandibular overdentures with implants placed at different positions: An in vitro 3D printed simulation study

ConclusionsPeri-implant crestal strains in the 2IMO increased by increasing the distance of the implants from the midline. The stress values progressively increased from 5 to 10 mm to 15 to 20 mm from midline, represented as lateral incisor, canine, and premolar positions. The distal side of the implants exhibits higher strains than the mesial side of the implants.
