Relationships of Stresses on Alveolar Bone and Abutment of Dental Implant from Various Bite Forces by Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis

Figure 3

Quantitative relation between the loading force and stress on the cortical bone and abutment. (a) Von Mises contour map of the ROI of the abutment under different magnitudes and angles of loading forces. (b) 3D surface of the abutment under different magnitudes and angles of loading forces. (c) Von Mises contour map of the ROI of the alveolar bone under different magnitudes and angles of the loading forces. (d) 3D surface of the alveolar bone under different magnitudes and angles of loading forces. (e) 3D surface of the stress differences of the abutment and alveolar bone under different magnitudes and angles of loading forces.
