Investigating the Effect of Nonrigid Connectors on the Success of Tooth-and-Implant-Supported Fixed Partial Prostheses in Maxillary Anterior Region: A Finite Element Analysis (FEA)

Figure 4

(a) Color spectrums depict stress distribution of the entire model, implant, porcelain, metal frame, cortical bone, spongious bone and natural tooth (MPa) and the tooth vertical displacement (mm) under oblique loading in the first model. (b) Color spectrums depict stress distribution of the entire model, implant, porcelain, metal frame, cortical bone, spongious bone, patrix, matrix and natural tooth (MPa) and the tooth vertical displacement (mm) under oblique loading in the second model. (c) Color spectrums manifest stress distribution of the entire model, implant, porcelain, metal frame, cortical bone, spongious bone, matrix, patrix and natural tooth (MPa) and the tooth vertical displacement (mm) under oblique loading in the third model.
