Biomechanical analysis of 4 types of short dental implants in a resorbed mandible

Statement of problem Short implants have been increasingly used in the aging society. However, studies which explain the difference of stress distribution according to different connections in short implant treatment are scarce. Purpose The purpose of this finite element (FE) analysis was to evaluate the stress and strain distribution of short implants and surrounding bone under static and cyclic loading conditions with 4 different connections....
