(a) Three-dimensional solid model of the edentulous maxilla considered in this study and obtained by a segmentation process based on multislice computed tomography (MSCT). (b) Submodel of the second premolar maxillary region, defined by considering two coronal sections at the distance of 40 mm along the mesiodistal direction ( axis) and positioning implants at the mid-span of the bone segment. (c) Examples of mesh details. (d) Loading condition.
