Abstract:Aim: The purpose of the present research was to assess the marginal bone loss due to stresses encountered in implant supported over-dentures. Methodology: Tridimensional models were built from the images of a computerized tomography of a mandible and 3D laser digitalization of implants, abutments, mucosa, and complete denture. The geometric models of implants and abutments were mounted at the canine region to build reference model 1 - absence of bone resorption. To build the test models the mandible geometric … Show more
