Micromotion of Dental Implants: Basic Mechanical Considerations

Table 1

Material properties (Young’s moduli in MPa) chosen in the different models. Poisson’s ratio is 0.3 for all materials.

Structure	Osseointegrated implant	Healing state

Trabecular bone	3000	3000
Implant	110000	110000
Intermediate layer—cortical area	14000	1000
Intermediate layer—trabecular area	3000	1000
