Comparison of Micromotion around Basally Osseointegrated and Crestal Osseointegrated Implant in Mandibular First Molar Region: A Finite Element Analysis Study
Abstract:Purpose of study: Crestal and basal implants are endosseous aids to create osseointegrated points of retention. These two types of implants are not only differentiated by the way they are inserted but also by the way the forces are transmitted. The purpose of this study is to compare the micromotion between two crestal and one basal implant-supported crown, when the mesiodistal space is 14 mm in mandibular 1st molar region.
Materials and methods:A three-dimensional finite ele ment method was used to evaluate t… Show more
