“…It is difficult to assess the force distribution on jaws and dental implants due to the heterogeneous structure of the bones and the inability to simulate the effects of the muscles and soft tissues on the bones [14, 22, 23]. However, with the improvement of FEA software, dental implants and effects of soft tissues and muscles of the human jaws have demonstrated in the present study compatible with those of clinical situations.…”

“…The ratio of a physician encountering a fractured atrophic mandible with dental implants has increased with the increase in use of dental implants [14]. Despite improvements in surgical fixation instruments, because of decreased vascularization, limited bone quality and quantity and absence of teeth in a patient with a fractured atrophic mandible, current procedures of fracture immobilization continues to be difficult and have been shown to be insufficient.…”

“…Therefore, the use of dental implants without bone grafting in cases with marginal bone defi ciencies of the mandible could be a viable treatment option. However, it has been reported that the possibility of dental implantrelated bone fracture should be considered in patients with atrophied mandibles 5,6) Moreover, an unbalanced occlusal force could increase the risk of fracture in the resected region of the mandible 7,8) . These reports indicate occlusal force by dental implants is traumatic force to possibly induce pathological fracture at the resected region in the mandible.…”

“…Finite element analysis (FEA) has been widely used to simulate mechanical stress on the bone and/or dental implant without performing invasive procedures 5,7,8) . Using this advantage, a FEA model of a totally edentulous mandible after tumor ablation was established to evaluate the influence of occlusion on the resected bone region in the present study.…”
