S0302-2-3 Deformation Analysis of Bone Model with a Dental Implant using a Digital Image Correlation Method

Abstract

This study examined the deformation distribution around dental implants in cortical/cancellous bone experimentally using sawbone bone models. Dental implants were placed in the bone models and the displacement distribution was measured using a digital image correlation method, and the strain distribution was evaluated under a compressive load that simulated an occlusion force. Then, we compared the strain distributions around the mandibular bone model between an osseointegrated implant and immediate-loaded implant.
