Dental implant stress analysis with selected prosthetic crown overhangs sizes

Abstract

Dental implantology is one of burgeoning methods of teeth loss reconstruction. Because each patient is different, there are still many problems to be solved. One of them is occurrence of prosthetic crown overhangs. The overhangs increase the stress value and risk of the glue shattering, causing a crown fall out and requiring another implantologist's appointment. The aim of the study is to assess the stress value generated in the dental implant using Finite Elements Method and simplified models.
