Abstract

To assess the stress distribution when placing short platform switched dental implants at various depths in the equicrestal and subcrestal regions. Materials and method: A three-dimensional finite element model (FEM) was used to model the mandibular posterior molar area, using consistently thick 1.5 mm cortical bone with an inner core of cancellous bone. The study's implants had proportions of 5 mm in length, 4.5 mm in diameter, and 3.5 mm for the abutments. For a realistic simulation, 100 N of force was applied in both axial and oblique (15° and 30°) directions. Ansys Workbench produced each and every model. Both cancellous and cortical bone are evaluated for Von Mises stress at different depths. 10 noded tetrahedron elements with three degrees of freedom per node are used to interpret translations on the x, y, and z axes. Results: In FEM simulations, all 5 positions of platform switched short osseointegrated implants showed varying stress-based biomechanical behaviour depending on the geometry of the bone, the direction of the applied force, and the depth of the implant placement. Conclusions: Axial forces were less harmful than oblique forces. The cortical and cancellous bone experienced less stress as a result of the placement of subcrestal implants.
