  • A comparative study of stress distributions in the maxillary bone with three different types of abutment was conducted. Finite element analysis was adopted to determine stress generated in the bone with the different implant systems with micro threads (Onebody type implant, Internal type implant, and External type implant). It was found that the types of abutments and the number of micro threads have significant influence on the stress distribution in the maxillary bone. They were due to the difference in the load transfer mechanism and the size of contact area between abutment and fixture. Also the maximum effective stress in the maxillary bone was increased with increasing inclination angle of load. It was concluded that the maximum effective stress in the bone was the lowest by the internal implant among the maximum effective stresses by other two types of implants and by appropriate number of micro threads, and that the specific number of micro thread was existed to decrease the maximum effective stress in the maxillary bone due to different implant systems and loading conditions.

  • Statement of problem : There are many studies focused on the effect of shape of futures on stress distribution in the mandibular bone. However, there are no studies focused on the effect of the abutment types on stress distribution in mandibular bone. Purpose : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of three different abutment types on the stress distributions in the mandibular bone due to various loads by performing finite element analysis. Material and method : Three different implant systems produced by Warantec (Seoul, Korea), were modeled to study the effect of abutment types on the stress distribution in the mandibular bone. The three implant systems are classified into oneplant (Oneplant, OP-TH-S11.5). internal implant (Inplant, IO-S11.5) and external implant (Hexplant, EH-S11.5). All abutments were made of titanium grade ELI. and all fixtures were made of titanium grade IV. The mandibular bone used in this study is constituted of compact and spongeous bone assumed to be homogeneous, isotropic and linearly elastic. A comparative study of stress distributions in the mandibular bone with three different types of abutment was conducted. Results : It was found that the types of abutments have significant influence on the stress distribution in the mandibular bone. It was due to difference in the load transfer mechanism and the size of contact area between abutment and fixture. Also the maximum effective stress in the mandibular bone was increased with the increase of inclination angle of load. Conclusion : It was concluded that the maximum effective stress in the bone by the internal implant was the lowest among the maximum effective stresses by other two types.
