Abstract
At present, selective laser melting (SLM) 3D printing technology can accurately control the internal pore structure and complex cell shape. Three types of reticulated meshes with cubic, G7 and composite structure cell shapes were fabricated by the SLM 3D printing technology using Ti-6Al-4V alloy powders. The bone stresses around the implant and the stresses in the implant were analyzed by ANSYS finite element software, which comprehensively evaluated the effect of porous dental implants with different spatial porosity characteristics on osseointegration. The results show that porous dental implants with composite structure of pore characteristics have improved mechanical and biological properties and can better promote the growth and integration of bone tissue.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the bone tissue effects under dynamic loading using finite element analysis (FEA) for four angled abutments with different deviated palatal lateral tilt angles. A three-dimensional model of the posterior maxillary region and an implant crown model were reconstructed and assembled with a three-dimensional model of the implant, angled abutment, and central screw to create a total of 10 three-dimensional finite element models tilted at 15 ∘ , 20 ∘ , 25 ∘ , and 30 ∘ in three groups, and the dynamic loads simulating oral mastication were loaded on the implant crown to analyze the equivalent stresses and strains in the peri-implant bone tissues. Under the dynamic loading, the cortical bone on the buccal side of the implant neck showed different degrees of stress concentration, and the cortical bone stress was much higher than the cancellous bone, and the strain concentration area of each model was located in the bone tissue around the implant neck and base. For the use of angular abutment, under the premise that the cortical bone stresses and strains of the 10 models meet the requirements for use, the peak stresses of 2.907 MPa, 3.018 MPa, and 2.164 MPa were achieved by using the 20 ∘ angular abutment to achieve the tilt angles of 20 ∘ , 25 ∘ , and 30 ∘ implantation, which is more advantageous compared with other models.

Abstract
PURPOSE Based on a self-controlled case, this study evaluated the finite element analysis (FEA) results of a single missing molar with wide mesiodistal length (MDL) restored by a single or double implant-supported crown. METHODS A case of a missing bilateral mandibular first molar with wide MDL was restored using a single or double implant-supported crown. The implant survival and peri-implant bone were compared. FEA was conducted in coordination with the case using eight models with different MDLs (12, 13, 14, and 15 mm). Von Mises stress was calculated in the FEA to evaluate the biomechanical responses of the implants under increasing vertical and lateral loading, including the stress values of the implant, abutment, screw, crown, and cortical bone. RESULTS The restorations on the left and right sides supported by double implants have been used for 6 and 12 years, respectively, and so far have shown excellent osseointegration radiographically.The von Mises stress calculated in the FEA showed that when the MDL was >14 mm, both the bone and prosthetic components bore more stress in the single implant-supported strategy. The strength was 188.62-201.37 MPa and 201.85-215.9 MPa when the MDL was 14 mm and 15 mm, respectively, which significantly exceeded the allowable yield stress (180 MPa). CONCLUSIONS Compared with the single implant-supported crown, the double implant-supported crown reduced peri-implant bone stress and produced a more appropriate stress transfer model at the implant-bone interface when the MDL of the single missing molar was ≥14 mm.

J Dent Sci 2024; 19:1126-1134. [PMID: 38618121 PMCID: PMC11010681 DOI: 10.1016/j.jds.2023.12.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Revised: 12/23/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/purpose Few studies have investigated the effects of abutment screw diameter in the stress of dental implants and alveolar bones under occlusal forces. In this study, we investigated how variations in implant diameter, abutment screw diameter, and bone condition affect stresses in the abutment screw, implant, and surrounding bone. Materials and methods Three-dimensional finite element (FE) models were fabricated for dental implants with external hex-type abutments measuring 4 and 5 mm in diameter. The models also included abutment screws measuring 2.0 and 2.5 mm in diameter. Each implant model was integrated with the mandibular bone comprising the cortical bone and four types of cancellous bone. In total, 12 finite element models were generated, subjected to three different occlusal forces, and analyzed using FE software to investigate the stress distribution of dental implant and alveolar bone. Results Wider implants demonstrated lower stresses in implant and bone compared with standard-diameter implants. The quality of cancellous bone has a minimal impact on the stress values of the implant, abutment screw, and cortical bone. Regardless of occlusal arrangement or quality of cancellous bone, a consistent pattern emerged: larger abutment screw diameters led to increased stress levels on the screws, while the stress levels in both cortical and cancellous bone showed comparatively minor fluctuations. Conclusion Wider implants tend to have better stress distribution than standard-diameter implants. The potential advantage of augmenting the abutment screw diameter is unfavorable. It may result in elevated stresses in the implant system.

Three-dimensional finite element analysis of zygomatic implants for rehabilitation of patients with a severely atrophic maxilla. J Prosthet Dent 2023; 129:597.e1-597.e8.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Stresses applied to zygomatic implants have been determined to be transferred mainly to the zygomatic bone; however, consensus regarding the stress distribution pattern in the bone surrounding zygomatic implants has not yet been reached. PURPOSE The purpose of this 3-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) study was to visually compare the stress distribution pattern in 2 different zygomatic implant treatment modalities and evaluate the effect of masseter musculature involvement. MATERIAL AND METHODS A 3D FEA craniofacial model was constructed from the computed tomography (CT) data of a selected patient with a severely atrophic edentulous maxilla. Modeled zygomatic and conventional implants were inserted into the craniofacial model supporting a prosthesis superstructure. Two types of treatment were considered in the study: 2 zygomatic implants placed bilaterally or 2 zygomatic implants placed in conjunction with at least 2 conventional implants at the anterior maxilla. The models were loaded with a vertical force of 150 N, a lateral force of 50 N, and a distributed occlusal force of 300 N applied to the insertion area of the masseter muscle. The stresses on and deformations of the bones and implants were then observed and compared with and without the involvement of the musculature component. RESULTS The stresses were distributed efficiently along the vertical and horizontal facial buttresses, as in the dentate skull; however, a difference in distribution pattern was observed when the models were loaded without applying the muscle component. The maximum deformation of bones surrounding the implants occurred in the abutment connection of the conventional anterior implant in the model with an additional conventional anterior implant. CONCLUSIONS The FEA revealed the stresses were distributed efficiently along the vertical and horizontal facial buttresses, as in the dentate skull. However, the stresses in both models were concentrated in the zygomatic bone when incorporating the muscle component. Therefore, incorporating muscular force into FEA studies could affect the analysis result.

Abstract
AIM The goal of this research was to compare the stress distribution in the bone adjacent to the implant where three different angled abutments were loaded in both the axial and oblique directions. MATERIALS AND METHODS The premaxilla region was digitally recreated in 3-dimension (3D) using a finite element model, with a solid 4.2 mm by 13 mm implant and abutments at 0°, 15°, and 25° of rotation. Axial load (100 N) and oblique load were also applied to the abutments (178 N). Six models were made and used with a fixed bases. The coefficient of friction was set at a constant value of 0.02. The CITIA program was used for the stress analysis. In this investigation, we employed linear static analysis. Each abutment and crown in the model has subjected to an arbitrary vertical load as well as the oblique load. RESULTS The cortical bone around the implant with a 25° angled abutment experienced a maximum von Mises stress of 187.692 Mpa under oblique load. This stress was increased with the degree of abutment angulation. CONCLUSION As abutment angulation was increased, axial and oblique burdens were also increased. In both cases, we were able to identify the source of the observed growth. When we looked at the effect of stress on angulation, we found that the peaks were seen in the area of abutment and cortical bone. Since it was difficult to predict the stress distribution around implants with varying abutment angles in a clinical setting, finite element analysis (FEA) was chosen for this investigation as a more cutting-edge approach. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE It is a herculean task calculating the prompted forces clinically, FEA has opted for this study as it's a progressively wielded tool to prognosticate the stress allocation in the region of the implants with different angled abutments.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this investigation was to identify a mesiodistal algorithm for multiple posterior implant placement based upon an ideal prosthetically restoration design. METHODS One hundred one cases of posterior free-end edentulous arches were selected for digital crown designs and measurements. Cone bean computed tomogram and digital fabricated crown were applied. DICOM files were exported to a viewer software (BlueSkyPlan4) to generate digital crown and measurement. The mesiodistal space between roots of adjacent teeth and center of the potential implant horizontally, from both cross-section and coronal plane were measured. Comparisons were performed using t-tests. RESULTS No significant difference was found in the distances of the maxillary and mandibular posterior implants to adjacent natural teeth (p > 0.05). For interdental/implant distances, premolars are around 4.2 mm and molars are 5.4 mm, correspondently. The second premolar interimplant distance is around 7-7.4 mm. The distance of interimplant of the first molar is about 8-8.5 mm. For the maxillary second molar, the interimplant distance is 9.26 ± 0.29 mm and the mandibular second molar interimplant distance is 9.58 ± 0.19 mm, which is significantly different. No difference was found between the two different measurement methods. CONCLUSION A mesiodistal algorithm of 4-4.6 (implant to adjacent canine tooth), 7-7.4, 8-8.5, and 9-9.5 mm was recommended for interimplant/tooth distance from first premolar to second molar when placing implants with or without case-specific prosthetic planning prior to surgery.

Abstract
While bone regenerates itself after an injury, a critical bone defect requires external interventions. Engineering approaches to restore bone provide a temporary scaffold to support the damage and provide beneficial biological cues for bone repair. Biomimetically generated scaffolds replicate the naturally occurring phenomena in bone regeneration. In this study, a gelatin-calcium phosphate nanocomposite was synthesized by an efficient and cost-effective double-diffusion biomimetic approach. Calcium and phosphate ions are impregnated in the gelatin, mimicking the natural bone mineralization process. Glutaraldehyde from 0.5 to 2 w/v% was used for gelatin cross-linking and mechanical properties of the scaffold, and its biological support for rat bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells was analyzed. Analysis of scanning electron microscopy images of the nanocomposite scaffolds and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterizations of these scaffolds confirmed precipitation of calcium phosphates in the gelatin. Moreover, lysozyme degradation assay showed that scaffold degradation reversely correlates with the concentration of the cross-linking agent. Increased glutaraldehyde concentrations enhanced the mechanical properties of the scaffolds, bringing them closer to those of cancellous bone. Rat bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells maintained their viability on these scaffolds compared to standard cell culture plates. In addition, these cells showed differentiation into bone lineage as evaluated from alkaline phosphatase activity up to 21 days and Alizarin red staining of the cells over 28 days. Eventually, scaffolds were implanted in a cranial defect in a rat animal model with a 5 mm diameter. Bone regeneration was studied over 90 days. Analysis of histological sections of the injury and computer tomography images revealed that nanocomposite scaffolds cross-linked with 1% w/v glutaraldehyde provide the maximum bone regeneration after 90 days. Collectively, our data show that nanocomposite scaffolds developed here provide effective regeneration for extensive bone defects in vivo.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare concentration and release kinetics of osteocalcin and crestal bone loss under immediate and delayed loading conditions during osseointegration. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-one patients who were indicated for rehabilitation with dental implants randomly received either implant with placement of permanent prosthesis after 3 months (delayed loading) or implant with placement of permanent prosthesis within 7 days (immediate loading). Radiographic assessment of crestal bone loss at the mesial and distal surface was done at 3, 6 and 12 months after implant placement. Peri-implant sulcular fluid was collected immediately from the buccal surface at two sites after implant insertion and also, at 7, 15, 30 and 90 days after surgery. The level of osteocalcin was evaluated using ELISA and data were compared using two sample t-test. Differences between two groups were analyzed by unpaired Student's t test. Intragroup comparison was done by repeated measures ANOVA. RESULTS Mean crestal bone loss was lower in the immediate loading group compared to the delayed loading group at 3, 6 and 12 months (P < 0.001). Intragroup comparison revealed a statistically significant increase in osteocalcin levels in both group I (F = 26712.2) and group II (F = 10497.2) at the predetermined time intervals CONCLUSIONS: Lesser crestal bone loss and early release of osteocalcin was found in the immediately loaded condition than in the delayed loaded condition. The study substantiates that immediately loaded implants shows less crestal bone as well as early release of osteocalcin facilitating upregulation of bone metabolism, improving long term health of bone and prognosis of implants. Immediately loaded implants can be a better treatment protocol provided there is adequate bone and primary stability. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
Aims: The scope of this study was to analyze the influence of clinically feasible implant diameter and length on the stress transmitted to the peri-implant bone in the case of a resorbed and bone augmented mandible through finite element analysis. Settings and Design: The study was carried out in silico. Subjects and Methods: Resorbed and bone-augmented 3D models were derived from in vivo cone-beam computed tomography scans of the same patient. Corresponding implant systems were modeled with the diameter ranging from 3.3 to 6 mm and length ranging from 5 to 13 mm, and masticatory loads were applied on the abutment surface. Statistical Analysis Used: None. Results: In the bone augmented ridge, maximum stress values in the peri-implant region drastically decreased only when using implants of a diameter of 5 mm and 6 mm. Implants up to 4 mm in diameter led to comparable stress values with the ones obtained in the resorbed ridge, when using the larger implants. The increase of length reduced stress in the resorbed mandible, whereas in the bone augmented model, it led to small variations only in implants up to 4 mm in diameter. Conclusions: It was concluded that bone augmentation provides the optimal framework for clinicians to use larger implants, which, in turn, reduces stress in the peri-implant region. Diameter and length play an equally important role in decreasing stress. Implant dimensions should be carefully considered with ridge geometry.

Abstract
With the developing technology, dental implants have been widely used in recent years. These implants are surgically implanted into a jaw bone to support missing teeth. Implants are usually made of titanium and are biocompatible. The design and analysis of the dental implant is based on expert knowledge, experience and ability to work seamlessly on the patient. Due to the difficulties in performing dental implant tests in vivo, the geometric shape design of the dental implant must be performed before it is applied to a patient and mathematical models have been developed to perform structural analysis. In this study, a design strategy for dental implant design was proposed. In this proposed strategy, finite element analysis, numerical optimization method and probabilistic design approach Monte Carlo simulation are integrated to work together automatically.

Abstract
Nanofibers are well known as a beneficial type of structure for tissue engineering. As a result of the high acquisition cost of the natural polymers and their environmentally problematic treatment (toxic dissolution agents), artificial polymers seem to be the better choice for medical use. In the present study, polycaprolactone nano-sized fibrous structures were prepared by the electrospinning method. The impact of material morphology (random or parallelly oriented fibers versus continuous layer) and the presence of a fraction of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles on cell proliferation was tested. In addition, the effect of improving the material wettability by a low temperature argon discharge plasma treatment was evaluated, too. We have shown that both hydroxyapatite particles as well as plasma surface treatment are beneficial for the cell proliferation. The significant impact of both influences was evident during the first 48 h of the test: the hydroxyapatite particles in polycaprolactone fibers accelerated the proliferation by 10% compared to the control, and the plasma-treated ones enhanced proliferation by 30%.

Abstract
Narrow-diameter implants (NDIs) traditionally have been associated to higher rates of failure in comparison with regular-diameter implants (RDIs) and wide-diameter implants (WDIs), since they generate a more unfavorable stress distribution in peri-implant bone. However, it is well known that the load sharing effect associated with prostheses supported by multiple implants (also called splinted prostheses) affords mechanical benefits. The present study involves finite element analysis (FEA) to determine whether the risks linked to NDIs could be mitigated by the mechanical advantages afforded by the splinting concept. For this purpose, a three-dimensional (3D) model of a real maxilla was reconstructed from computed tomography (CT) images, and different implants (NDIs, RDIs and WDIs) and prostheses were created using computer-aided design (CAD) tools. Biting forces were simulated on the prostheses corresponding to three different rehabilitation solutions: single-implant restoration, three-unit bridge and all-on-four treatment. Stress distribution around the implants was calculated, and overloading in bone was quantified within peri-implant volumes enclosed by cylinders with a diameter 0.1mm greater than that of each implant. The mechanical benefits of the splinting concept were confirmed: the peri-implant overloaded volume around NDIs splinted by means of the three-unit bridge was significantly reduced in comparison with the nonsplinted condition and, most importantly, proved even smaller than that around nonsplinted implants with a larger diameter (RDIs). However, splinted NDIs supporting the all-on-four prosthesis led to the highest risk of overloading found in the study, due to the increase in compressive stress generated around the tilted implant when loading the cantilevered molar.

Abstract
The beneficial mechanical properties provided by greater diameter or short implants increases their usage in the tilted implant concept. The aim of the present study is to compare the stress distribution of 4 different treatment models including variable implant numbers and diameters under a static loading protocol in the atrophic mandible using 3-dimensional finite element analysis. Three models included 2 tilted and 2 vertically positioned implants with different diameters, whereas 2 distally placed short implants were added to the fourth model. The von Mises stress as well as the maximum and minimum principal stress values were evaluated after applying 200 N bilateral oblique loads to the first molar teeth with the inclination of 45° to the longitudinal axis. Tilted implants were associated with higher stress values when compared with vertical implants in all models. The lowest stress values were obtained in the fourth model, including short implants. Although all stress values showed slight increases by descending implant diameters, the stress values of the model including implants with 3.3-mm diameter were within physiologic limits. All in all, an increasing number or diameter of implants may have a positive effect on implant survival. In addition, when narrow-diameter implants need to be inserted in the tilted implant concept, combination with short implants may be recommended for long-term success.

Abstract
The time-course of cancellous bone regeneration surrounding mechanically loaded implants affects implant fixation, and is relevant to determining optimal rehabilitation protocols following orthopaedic surgeries. We investigated the influence of controlled mechanical loading of titanium-coated polyether-ether ketone (PEEK) implants on osseointegration using time-lapsed, non-invasive, in vivo micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) scans. Implants were inserted into proximal tibial metaphyses of both limbs of eight female Sprague-Dawley rats. External cyclic loading (60 or 100 μm displacement, 1 Hz, 60 s) was applied every other day for 14 days to one implant in each rat, while implants in contralateral limbs served as the unloaded controls. Hind limbs were imaged with high-resolution micro-CT (12.5 μm voxel size) at 2, 5, 9, and 12 days post-surgery. Trabecular changes over time were detected by 3D image registration allowing for measurements of bone-formation rate (BFR) and bone-resorption rate (BRR). At day 9, mean %BV/TV for loaded and unloaded limbs were 35.5 ± 10.0% and 37.2 ± 10.0%, respectively, and demonstrated significant increases in bone volume compared to day 2. BRR increased significantly after day 9. No significant differences between bone volumes, BFR, and BRR were detected due to implant loading. Although not reaching significance (p = 0.16), an average 119% increase in pull-out strength was measured in the loaded implants. © 2016 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Abstract
Objectives. This article presents a review on the concerned topics and some considerations related to the concept of splinting teeth and implants in the rehabilitation of partial edentulism. Study Selection. An electronic PubMed/MEDLINE and manual search of identified articles and reviews as well as clinical, laboratory, and finite element studies was performed in this project. Due to the shortage in within-subject, long term, randomized, controlled clinical trials regarding the subject a meta-analysis was not possible. Results. Although surrounded with some controversy, joining teeth and implants during the rehabilitation of partial edentulism provides the clinicians with more treatment options where proprioception and bone volume are maintained and distal cantilevers and free end saddles are eliminated. It makes the treatment less complex, of less cost, and more acceptable for the patient. Conclusions. Whenever suitable and justified, combining implant and tooth support might be recommended as an alternative during rehabilitation of partial edentulism. Based on the literature, clinical tips and suggestions were recommended to increase the success of this treatment.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Evidence is limited on the efficacy of narrow-diameter implants (NDIs) in the posterior jaw. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review was to assess the survival of NDIs and provide guidelines for their safe use. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic search of the English-language literature enriched by hand search to identify suitable publications was made. Only peer-reviewed clinical studies published from January 1990 through March 2014 were included. RESULTS Seventeen studies with a total of 1644 implants met the inclusion criteria, with an observation period from 1 up to 12 years. The mean survival rate of 98.6% was reported. Technical and other complications were observed. CONCLUSION Short-term clinical data suggest that NDIs may serve in the posterior jaw as an alternative to standard-diameter implants. However, certain clinical conditions must be observed to assure long-term success.

Abstract
Biodegradable orthopedic materials (BOMs) are used in rehabilitation and reconstruction of fractured tissues. The response of BOMs to the combined action of physiological stress and corrosion is an important issue in vivo since stress-assisted degradation and cracking are common. Although the degradation behavior and kinetics of BOMs have been investigated under static conditions, stress effects can be very serious and even fatal in the dynamic physiological environment. Since stress is unavoidable in biomedical applications of BOMs, recent work has focused on the evaluation and prediction of the properties of BOMs under stress in corrosive media. This article reviews recent progress in this important area focusing on biodegradable metals, polymers, and ceramics. The response of biodegradable orthopedic materials to the combined action of physiological stress and corrosion was reviewed. Physiological function stress to bone formation was reported. Factors influencing the effects of stress and corrosion on biodegradable metals were discussed. The response of biodegradable polymers to different stress mode was reported. Degradation prediction of biodegradable biopolymers under stress was mentioned.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical behavior of immediately loaded implants in an edentulous mandible according to the "All-on-Four" concept. METHODS A 3D-finite element model of an edentulous mandible was constructed. Four implants were placed between the bilateral mental foramen according to "All-on-Four" concept. A framework made of titanium or acrylic resin between the bilateral first molars was modeled. Immediate loading and a delayed loading protocol were simulated. A vertical load of 200N was applied at the cantilever or on the abutments region of the distal implants, simulating the absence of a cantilever. RESULTS The peak principal compressive strains in the immediate loading models resulted in 24.0-35.8% and 26.4-39.0% increases compared with the delayed loading models under non-cantilever loading and cantilever loading, respectively. The loading position greatly affected the principal compressive and tensile strain values. The peak principal compressive strains in non-cantilever loading resulted in a 45.3-52.6% reduction compared with those in cantilever loading. The framework material did not influence the peak compressive and tensile strain. The maximum micromotion at the bone-implant interface in the immediate loading models was 7.5-14.4μm. CONCLUSIONS Mandibular fixed full-arch prostheses without cantilevers may result in a favorable reduction of the peri-implant bone strain during the healing period, compared with cantilevers. The maximum micromotion was within the acceptable limits for uneventful implant osseointegration in the immediate loading models. Framework material did not play an important role in reducing the peri-implant bone strain and micromotion at the bone-implant interface.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the influence of anatomical conditions on primary stability in the models simulating posterior maxilla. METHODS Polyurethane blocks were designed to simulate monocortical (M) and bicortical (B) conditions. Each condition had four subgroups measuring 3 mm (M3, B3), 5 mm (M5, B5), 8 mm (M8, B8), and 12 mm (M12, B12) in residual bone height (RBH). After implant placement, the implant stability quotient (ISQ), Periotest value (PTV), insertion torque (IT), and reverse torque (RT) were measured. Two-factor ANOVA (two cortical conditions×four RBHs) and additional analyses for simple main effects were performed. RESULTS A significant interaction between cortical condition and RBH was demonstrated for all methods measuring stability with two-factor ANOVA. In the analyses for simple main effects, ISQ and PTV were statistically higher in the bicortical groups than the corresponding monocortical groups, respectively. In the monocortical group, ISQ and PTV showed a statistically significant rise with increasing RBH. Measurements of IT and RT showed a similar tendency, measuring highest in the M3 group, followed by the M8, the M5, and the M12 groups. In the bicortical group, all variables showed a similar tendency, with different degrees of rise and decline. The B8 group showed the highest values, followed by the B12, the B5, and the B3 groups. The highest coefficient was demonstrated between ISQ and PTV. CONCLUSIONS Primary stability was enhanced by the presence of bicortex and increased RBH, which may be better demonstrated by ISQ and PTV than by IT and RT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the long-term in vitro performance and fracture resistance of one-piece and bonded two-piece zirconia implant systems for anterior application. METHODS Two groups of bonded two-piece zirconia (ZZB), four groups of one-piece zirconia (Z), and two groups of two-piece titanium (TTS, reference) implant systems were restored with identical monolithic zirconia crowns (n=10/group). Eight specimens per group were mounted at an angle of 135° in the chewing simulator and subjected to thermal cycling (TC:18,000 cycles; 5°/55°) and mechanical loading (ML:3.6×10(6) cycles; 100N) simulating an anterior situation. Fracture resistance and maximum bending stress were determined for specimens that survived aging and for two references per group after 24h water storage. SEM pictures were used for failure analysis. Data were statistically analysed (one-way-ANOVA, post-hoc Bonferroni, Kaplan-Meier-Log-Rank, α=0.05). RESULTS A one-piece zirconia and a two-piece titanium implant system survived TCML without failures. Both bonded two-piece zirconia implant systems and a one-piece zirconia implant system totally failed (fractures of abutment or implant). Failure numbers of the other systems varied between 1× (1 group) and 5× (2 groups). Significantly different survival rates were found (Log-Rank-test: p=0.000). Maximum fracture forces/bending stresses varied significantly ( ANOVA p=0.000) between 188.00±44.80N/381.02±80.15N/mm(2) and 508.67±107.00N/751.45±36.73N/mm(2). Mean fracture values after 24h water storage and TCML were not significantly different. CONCLUSION Zirconia implant systems partly showed material defects or connection insufficiencies. Bonded two-piece systems had higher failure rates and lower fracture resistance than one-piece implants. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Individual zirconia implant systems may be applied in anterior regions with limitations.

Long-Term Fatigue and Its Probability of Failure Applied to Dental Implants. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2016; 2016:8927156. [PMID: 27517052 PMCID: PMC4969521 DOI: 10.1155/2016/8927156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2016] [Revised: 06/16/2016] [Accepted: 06/22/2016] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
It is well known that dental implants have a high success rate but even so, there are a lot of factors that can cause dental implants failure. Fatigue is very sensitive to many variables involved in this phenomenon. This paper takes a close look at fatigue analysis and explains a new method to study fatigue from a probabilistic point of view, based on a cumulative damage model and probabilistic finite elements, with the goal of obtaining the expected life and the probability of failure. Two different dental implants were analysed. The model simulated a load of 178 N applied with an angle of 0°, 15°, and 20° and a force of 489 N with the same angles. Von Mises stress distribution was evaluated and once the methodology proposed here was used, the statistic of the fatigue life and the probability cumulative function were obtained. This function allows us to relate each cycle life with its probability of failure. Cylindrical implant has a worst behaviour under the same loading force compared to the conical implant analysed here. Methodology employed in the present study provides very accuracy results because all possible uncertainties have been taken in mind from the beginning.

Abstract
Since a long term patency of the dental implant has a direct relationship with their biomechanical performance, it is of vital important to understand the stresses and deformations that happen during chewing around the dental implant and bone. However, this model so far has not been well realized and this is why in this study we aim to establish a Finite Element (FE) model to analyse the stresses and deformations. A trajectory approach has been used to implement the action of muscles into the mode. To do this, a cornflake bio is mounted between the teeth and force applied until the breakage of the food in mouth. Furthermore, an experimental study was performed using the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method and a set of three markers used to verify the numerical observations. The results revealed that in the maxillary bones, the maximum stresses were located within the cortical bone surrounding the implant and within the neck of implant. In addition, as the elastic modulus of the food is increased the stress in cortical bone increased accordingly. The results also revealed that the highest stress in the system is 74% of the yield stress while this value has been reported as 41% in previous studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the influence of the implant-abutment connection on the long-term in vitro performance and fracture resistance of two-piece zirconia implant systems for anterior application. METHODS Six groups of two-piece zirconia implant systems (n=10/group) with screw-retained (5×) or bonded (1×) connections were restored with full-contour zirconia crowns. A two-piece screw-retained titanium system served as reference. For simulating anterior loading the specimens (n=8/group) were mounted at an angle of 135° in the chewing simulator, and subjected to thermal cycling (TC: 2×9000×5°/55°C) and mechanical loading (ML: 3.6×10(6)×100N). Failed restorations were examined (scanning electron microscopy). Fracture resistance and maximum bending stress of surviving restorations were determined. 2 specimens per group were loaded to fracture after 24h water storage without TCML. Data were statistically analyzed (ANOVA; Bonferroni; Kaplan-Meier-Log-Rank; α=0.05). RESULTS The bonded zirconia system and the titanium reference survived TCML without any failures. Screw-retained zirconia systems showed fractures of abutments and/or implants, partly combined with screw fracture/loosening. Failure frequency (F) varied between the groups (F=8×: 3 groups, F=3×: 1 group, F=1×: 1 group). The Log-Rank-test showed significant (p=0.000) differences. Fracture forces and maximum bending stresses (mean±standard deviation) differed significantly ( ANOVA p=0.000) between 233.4±31.4N/317.1±42.6N/mm(2) and 404.3±15.1N/549.2±20.5N/mm(2). Fracture forces after TCML were similar to 24h fracture forces. SIGNIFICANCE Screw-retained two-piece zirconia implant systems showed higher failure rates and lower fracture resistance than a screw-retained titanium system, and may be appropriate for clinical anterior requirements with limitations. Failures involved the abutment/implant region around the screw, indicating that the connecting design is crucial for clinical success.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the process of mandibular bone remodeling induced by implant-supported overdentures. computed tomography (CT) images were collected from edentulous patients to reconstruct the geometry of the mandibular bone and overdentures supported by implants. Based on the theory of strain energy density (SED), bone remodeling models were established using the user material subroutine (UMAT) in abaqus. The stress distribution in the mandible and bone density change was investigated to determine the effect of implant number on the remodeling of the mandibular bone. The results indicated that the areas where high Mises stress values were observed were mainly situated around the implants. The stress was concentrated in the distal neck region of the distal-most implants. With an increased number of implants, the biting force applied on the dentures was almost all taken up by implants. The stress and bone density in peri-implant bone increased. When the stress reached the threshold of remodeling, the bone density began to decrease. In the posterior mandible area, the stress was well distributed but increased with decreased implant numbers. Changes in bone density were not observed in this area. The computational results were consistent with the clinical data. The results demonstrate that the risk of bone resorption around the distal-most implants increases with increased numbers of implants and that the occlusal force applied to overdentures should be adjusted to be distributed more in the distal areas of the mandible.

Abstract
The introduction of a protective coating layer to highly corrosive magnesium (Mg) has been proposed as one of the common approaches for improved corrosion resistance of Mg-based implants as load-bearing biomedical applications. However, only few studies have focused on the mechanical stability of the coated Mg under practical conditions where significant deformation of the load-bearing implants is induced during the surgical operation or under physiological environments. Therefore, in this study, we developed a dual coating system composed of an interlayer hydroxyapatite (HA) and a top layer poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to improve the coating stability under deformation of Mg alloy (WE43) substrate. The HA interlayer was directly formed on the Mg alloy surface, followed by dip-coating of PLLA. As the interlayer, HA improved the adhesion of PLLA by modulating nano- and microscale roughness, in addition to its inherently good bonding strength to Mg. The flexible and deformable top coating PLLA layer mitigated crack propagation in the HA layer under deformation. Thus, the dual coating layer provided good protection to the underlying WE43 from corrosion regardless of deformation. The enhanced corrosion behavior of dual-coated WE43 exhibited better mechanical and biological performance compared to the non-coated or single-coated WE43. Therefore, this dual coating layer on Mg is expected to accelerate Mg-based applications in biomedical devices.

Abstract
Objective. To show how random variables concern fatigue behaviour by a probabilistic finite element method. Methods. Uncertainties on material properties due to the existence of defects that cause material elastic constant are not the same in the whole dental implant the dimensions of the structural element and load history have a decisive influence on the fatigue process and therefore on the life of a dental implant. In order to measure these uncertainties, we used a method based on Markoff chains, Bogdanoff and Kozin cumulative damage model, and probabilistic finite elements method. Results. The results have been obtained by conventional and probabilistic methods. Mathematical models obtained the same result regarding fatigue life; however, the probabilistic model obtained a greater mean life but with more information because of the cumulative probability function. Conclusions. The present paper introduces an improved procedure to study fatigue behaviour in order to know statistics of the fatigue life (mean and variance) and its probability of failure (fatigue life versus probability of failure).

Abstract
This work studies the feasibility of custom-made endoprosthesis in the reconstruction of major mandibular defects. The natural anatomical and occlusal relations are used to accurately reconstruct a mandibular defect. The customized implant allows the accurate restoration of the facial profile and aesthetics. The biomechanical behaviour of mandibular endoprosthesis was validated with Finite Element Analysis for three masticatory tasks, namely incisal, right molar and left group clenching. The implanted mandible shows displacement fields and stress distributions very similar to the intact mandible. The strain fields observed along the bone-implant interface may promote bone maintenance and ingrowth. The preliminary results show that this implant may be a reliable alternative to other prosthetic mandibular reconstruction approaches.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution of monocortical and bicortical implant placement of external hexagon connection in the anterior region of the maxilla by 3D finite element analysis (FEA). 3D models were simulated to represent a bone block of anterior region of the maxilla containing an implant (4.0 × 10.0 mm) and an implant-supported cemented metalloceramic crown of the central incisor. Different techniques were tested (monocortical, bicortical, and bicortical associated with nasal floor elevation). FEA was performed in FEMAP/NeiNastran software using loads of 178 N at 0°, 30°, and 60° in relation to implant long axis. The von Mises, maximum principal stress, and displacement maps were plotted for evaluation. Similar stress patterns were observed for all models. Oblique loads increased the stress concentration on fixation screws and in the cervical area of the implants and bone around them. Bicortical technique showed less movement tendency in the implant and its components. Cortical bone of apical region showed increase of stress concentration for bicortical techniques. Within the limitations of this study, oblique loading increased the stress concentrations for all techniques. Moreover, bicortical techniques showed the best biomechanical behavior compared with monocortical technique in the anterior maxillary area.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate by a 3-dimensional finite element analysis the load transmission to periimplant bone by a framework supported by 6 implants placed in an edentulous mandible and to compare the stress distribution for varying cantilever lengths. METHODOLOGY A computerized model of the anterior segment of a mandible with a 6-implant-supported bridge was created in software. The length of the cantilever segment was considered as 10, 15, and 20 mm. A 150 N load was applied to the terminal point of the cantilever segment, and Von Mises stresses were analyzed along implants, framework, and bone. RESULTS When the cantilever length was increased from 10 to 20 mm, the stress increased 79.66% in the framework, 68.16% in implants, and 59.96% and 52.81% in cortical and cancellous bones, respectively. CONCLUSION The greatest amount of stress was seen around the distal-most region of the distal-most implant. The framework absorbed the maximum amount of stresses followed by the implants, cortical bone, and cancellous bone. Extension of the cantilever beyond 15 mm could lead to greater stress in the lingual cortical plate, which could compromise the integrity of the implants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Regardless of the multiple options of connections, diameters and heights for dental implants, the clinician should know the biomechanical behavior of the bone to plan the treatment according to the biological and anatomical conditions of each patient, without risk to the long-term treatment success. REVIEW The following review attempts to summarize the relevant literature to establish guidelines for clinicians based on the scientific evidence regarding the influence by the implant's connection, diameter and length on the bone biomechanics. CONCLUSIONS The length, diameter and connection of each implant have a degree of influence in bone biomechanics. Despite the influence of different implant connections, diameters and lengths on peri-implant bone stress and strain, these characteristics should remain within the physiological limits to avoid a pathological overload, bone resorption and consequent risk to the long-term success of implant-prosthetic treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To find an optimal force that can be loaded onto an orthodontic microimplant to fulfill the biomechanical demands of orthodontic treatment without diminishing the stability of the microimplant. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the finite element analysis method, 3-D computer-aided design models of a microimplant and four cylindrical bone pieces (incorporating cortical bone thicknesses of 0.5, 1.2, 2.0, and 3.0 mm) into which the microimplant was inserted were used. Various force magnitudes of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0 N were then horizontally and separately applied to the microimplant head as inserted into the different bone assemblies. For each bone/force assembly tested, peak stresses developed at areas of intimate contact with the microimplant along the force direction were then calculated using regression analysis and compared with a threshold value at which pathologic bone resorption might develop. RESULTS The resulting peak stresses showed that bone pieces with thicker cortical bone tolerated higher force magnitudes better than did thinner ones. For cortical bone thicknesses of 0.5, 1.2, 2.0, and 3.0 mm, the maximum force magnitudes that could be applied safely were 3.75, 4.1, 4.3, and 4.45 N, respectively. CONCLUSIONS For the purpose of diminishing orthodontic microimplant failure, an optimal force that can be safely loaded onto a microimplant should not exceed a value of around 3.75-4.5 N.

Abstract
The effects of alveolar bone socket geometry and bone-implant contact on implant biomechanics, and resulting strain distributions in bone were investigated. Following extraction of lateral incisors on a cadaver mandible, implants were placed immediately and bone-implant contact area, stability implant biomechanics and bone strain were measured. In situ biomechanical testing coupled with micro X-ray microscopy (µ-XRM) illustrated less stiff bone-implant complexes (701-822 N/mm) compared with bone-periodontal ligament (PDL)-tooth complexes (791-913 N/mm). X-ray tomograms illustrated that the cause of reduced stiffness was due to limited bone-implant contact. Heterogeneous elemental composition of bone was identified by using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The novel aspect of this study was the application of a new experimental mechanics method, that is, digital volume correlation, which allowed mapping of strains in volumes of alveolar bone in contact with a loaded implant. The identified surface and subsurface strain concentrations were a manifestation of load transferred to bone through bone-implant contact based on bone-implant geometry, quality of bone, implant placement, and implant design. 3D strain mapping indicated that strain concentrations are not exclusive to the bone-implant contact regions, but also extend into bone not directly in contact with the implant. The implications of the observed strain concentrations are discussed in the context of mechanobiology. Although a plausible explanation of surgical complications for immediate implant treatment is provided, extrapolation of results is only warranted by future systematic studies on more cadaver specimens and/or in vivo models.

Abstract
Dental implant failure is mainly the consequence of bone loss at peri-implant area. It usually begins in crestal bone. Due to this gradual loss, implants cannot withstand functional force without bone overload, which promotes complementary loss. As a result, implant lifetime is significantly decreased. To estimate implant success prognosis, taking into account 0.2 mm annual bone loss for successful implantation, ultimate occlusal forces for the range of commercial cylindrical implants were determined and changes of the force value for each implant due to gradual bone loss were studied. For this purpose, finite element method was applied and von Mises stresses in implant-bone interface under 118.2 N functional occlusal load were calculated. Geometrical models of mandible segment, which corresponded to Type II bone (Lekholm & Zarb classification), were generated from computed tomography images. The models were analyzed both for completely and partially osseointegrated implants (bone loss simulation). The ultimate value of occlusal load, which generated 100 MPa von Mises stresses in the critical point of adjacent bone, was calculated for each implant. To estimate longevity of implants, ultimate occlusal loads were correlated with an experimentally measured 275 N occlusal load (Mericske-Stern & Zarb). These findings generally provide prediction of dental implants success.

Abstract
Immediate loading (IL) increases the risk of marginal bone loss. The present study investigated the biomechanical response of peri-implant bone in rabbits after IL, aiming at optimizing load management. Ninety-six implants were installed bilaterally into femurs of 48 rabbits. Test implants on the left side created the maximal initial stress of 6.9 and 13.4 MPa in peri-implant bone and unloaded implants on the contralateral side were controls. Bone morphology and bone-implant interface strength were measured with histological examination and push-out testing during a 12-week observation period. Additionally, the animal data were incorporated into finite element (FE) models to calculate the bone stress distribution at different levels of osseointegration. Results showed that the stress was concentrated in the bone margin and the bone stress gradually decreased as osseointegration proceeded. A stress of about 2.0 MPa in peri-implant bone had a positive effect on new bone formation, osseointegration and bone-implant interface strength. Bone loss was observed in some specimens with stress exceeding 4.0 MPa. Data indicate that IL significantly increases bone stress during the early postoperative period, but the load-bearing capacity of peri-implant bone increases rapidly with an increase of bone-implant contact. Favorable bone responses may be continually promoted when the stress in peri-implant bone is maintained at a definite level. Accordingly, the progressive loading mode is recommended for IL implants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increased stress (force) on prostheses induces strain (deformation) in the peri-implant bone. Elevated stress and strain could result in the failure of implants that support prostheses. However, the survival rate of implants supporting prostheses under increased stress is high. Either the bone is stronger than expected or it adapts to increased stress. Concepts regarding bone's adaptive capacity continue to evolve and are the focus of this literature review. TYPES OF STUDIES REVIEWED The authors searched the literature to find studies that addressed the bone's capacity to adjust to increased stress and strain. They assessed experimental and clinical trials in which investigators monitored healing after placement of dental implants. RESULTS The data indicate that forces greater than the bone's adaptive ability can induce loss of osseointegration, as well as osseous resorption. In contrast, it is possible that increased stress on prostheses initiates a reparative process, thereby facilitating retention of implants experiencing increased stress. Numerous lines of evidence support the concept that bone can modify itself to withstand increased mechanical forces. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS The authors provide an explanation for the high success rate of prostheses and implants in bone that are exposed to increased stress and strain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Adaptations of the alveolar ridge after tooth loss have been well described. However, studies on the morphometric characteristics of cortical bone are rare; hence, this study of human atrophic edentulous mandibles was undertaken. MATERIAL AND METHODS Total cortical area, porosity, and thickness, and the percentage of cortical area in the complete mandibular area as well as in an area (height, 10 mm) starting at the most caudal point of the trabecular compartment and extending in the coronal direction were determined in 185 thin ground sections of edentulous mandibles (incisor region, 49; premolar region, 76; molar region, 60; 95 from females and 90 from males; mean age, 78.2 years, SD ± 7.8 years; Caucasian donors; cause of death: cardiovascular disease). Further, mandibular height and width and degree of residual ridge resorption (RRR) were recorded. RESULTS The percentage of cortical area in the complete mandibular area increased with increasing RRR. Yet, evaluation of the 10-mm caudal portion corresponding to the basal part of the mandibular body did not confirm these changes in cortical bone. Cortical porosity and thickness decreased from the mesial to the distal region. Cortical porosity was unaffected by RRR, while cortical thickness increased, mainly at lingual aspects. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, cortical bone remained stable in different degrees of RRR except for some modulations in the lingual aspects. Changes in the relative composition between cortical and trabecular bone are due to loss of height and total area, mainly at expense of trabecular bone area, but not to adaptations of the cortical bone.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the stress pattern generated through various thread design in experimental simulation models, when loaded immediately after placement and after osseointegration. METHODS Three-dimensional (3D) models were designed using CATIA, computer-aided design modeling software. The study was planned in 2 stages. Eight 2D models were constructed of different thread forms, one set with frictionless and other with bonded for bone to implant interface and loaded vertically with 100 N. In Stage II, 6 3D models of the different threads embedded in the cortical bone were constructed and loaded vertically and obliquely. RESULTS In 2D models, the von Mises stress concentrated at the crest in the bonded connection thread designs. The stress levels were in the range of 7 to 13 MPa. In the frictional implant bone interface, the thread designs had a clear effect on the stress levels in the bone. In the 3D analysis, the complete implant design affected the stress levels. CONCLUSIONS The thread design affects the magnitude of the stress peak in the bone more effectively in immediately loaded (frictionless) implants than the osseointegrated (bonded) implants. Maximum stress was observed at the first thread in most of the osseointegrated implants.

Abstract
Introduction: The replacement of missing anterior teeth presents peculiar challenges to the Prosthodontist. Implants are increasingly gaining favour for the same. The morphology of existing bone in the premaxilla often dictates that implants are placed at angles that are difficult to restore with conventional abutments. However, the angulated abutments might transfer unfavourable forces to the implant or bone, thereby compromising the prognosis of the treatment. Because, it is difficult to assess the generated forces clinically, a finite element analysis was chosen for the present study as it is useful tool in estimating stress distribution in the contact area of the implant with the bone. Materials and Methods: In this study, the frontal region of the maxilla was modelled with a cortical layer 1.5 mm thick containing an inner cancellous core. The implant was cylindrical, round ended, with length 13 mm and diameter 4.1 mm. The abutment was modelled as 7 mm in height with a 5 degree occlusal taper. The different abutment angulations used were 0°, 10°, 15° and 20°. The amount of loads used were 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200 N axially, and 50 N in oblique direction, to approximate the kind of loads seen in clinical situations. Result: It was seen that, as the abutment angulation changes from 0° to 20° both the compressive as well as tensile stresses increased; but, it is within the tolerance limit of the bone. Conclusion: It seems reasonably safe to use angled abutments in anterior implant supported prostheses, in the maxillary arch.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution in the bone adjacent to submerged implants during masticatory function in conventional complete dentures with different soft liners through finite element analysis. Three-dimensional models of a severely resorbed mandible with 2 and 4 submerged implants in the anterior region were created and divided into the following situations: (1) conventional complete dentures (control group); and conventional complete dentures with different soft liner materials, (2) Coe-Comfort, (3) Softliner, and (4) Molteno Hard. The models were exported to mechanical simulation software and 2 simulations were done with the load in the inferior right canine (35 N) and the inferior right first molar (50 N). The data were qualitatively evaluated using the maximum principal stress and microstrain values given by the software. The use of soft liners provides decreased levels of stress and microstrains in peri-implant bone when the load was applied to canine teeth. Considering all of the values obtained in this study, the use of softer materials is the most suitable for use during the period of osseointegration.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare stress distributions of implant-supported crown placed in fibula bone model with those in intact mandible model using three-dimensional finite element analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two three-dimensional finite element models were created to analyze biomechanical behaviors of implant-supported crowns placed in intact mandible and fibula model. The finite element models were generated from patient's computed tomography data. The model for grafted fibula was composed of fibula block, dental implant system, and implant-supported crown. In the mandible model, same components with identical geometries with the fibula model were used except that the mandible replaced the fibula. Vertical and oblique loadings were applied on the crowns. The highest von Mises stresses were investigated and stress distributions of the two models were analyzed. RESULTS Overall stress distributions in the two models were similar. The highest von Mises stress values were higher in the mandible model than in the fibula model. In the individual prosthodontic components there was no prominent difference between models. The stress concentrations occurred in cortical bones in both models and the effect of bicortical anchorage could be found in the fibula model. CONCLUSION Using finite element analysis it was shown that the implant-supported crown placed in free fibula graft might function successfully in terms of biomechanical behavior.

Abstract
Placement of zygomatic implants lateral to the maxillary sinus, according to the extrasinus protocol, is one of the treatment options in the rehabilitation of severely atrophic maxilla or following maxillectomy surgery in patients with head and neck cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical behavior of a full-arch fixed prosthesis supported by 4 zygomatic implants in the atrophic maxilla under occlusal loading. Results indicated that maximum von Mises stresses were significantly higher under lateral loading compared with vertical loading within the prosthesis and its supporting implants. Peak stresses were concentrated at the prosthesis-abutments interface under vertical loading and the internal line angles of the prosthesis under lateral loading. The zygomatic supporting bone suffered significantly lower stresses. However, the alveolar bone suffered a comparatively higher level of stresses, particularly under lateral loading. Prosthesis displacement under vertical loading was higher than under lateral loading. The zygomatic bone suffered lower stresses than the alveolar bone and prosthesis-implant complex under both vertical and lateral loading. Lateral loading caused a higher level of stresses than vertical loading.

Abstract
Functionally graded material (FGM) is a heterogeneous composite material including a number of constituents that exhibit a compositional gradient from one surface of the material to the other subsequently, resulting in a material with continuously varying properties in the thickness direction. FGMs are gaining attention for biomedical applications, especially for implants, owing to their reported superior composition. Dental implants can be functionally graded to create an optimized mechanical behavior and achieve the intended biocompatibility and osseointegration improvement. This review presents a comprehensive summary of biomaterials and manufacturing techniques researchers employ throughout the world. Generally, FGM and FGM porous biomaterials are more difficult to fabricate than uniform or homogenous biomaterials. Therefore, our discussion is intended to give the readers about successful and obstacles fabrication of FGM and porous FGM in dental implants that will bring state-of-the-art technology to the bedside and develop quality of life and present standards of care.
