A comparative finite element analysis of titanium, poly-ether-etherketone, and zirconia abutment on stress distribution around maxillary anterior implants

Conclusion: PEEK, zirconia, and titanium as abutment material in the anterior region showedsimilar properties. The stress on the bone was proportionately increased during the vertical andoblique loads suggesting the influence of mechanical load in crestal bone loss rather than the typeof abutment material.Key Words: Bone density, dental implant ‑abutment, dental implants, dental stress analyses, poly‑ether‑ether ketone, single tooth  HighlightAngel Elias:  Pubmed,Google Scholar
