Impact of implant diameter and length on stress distribution in osseointegrated implants

Aims and Objectives

Dimension of dental implant is an important parameter which has a considerable impact on the biomechanical load transfer characters and its prognosis. Excessive stress in the bone–implant interface may result in the failure of the implant. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of implant diameter and length on neighboring tissues around the implant.

Conclusion

Within the limitations of this study there was statistically significant decrease in von Mises stress as the implant diameter increased.
