Abstract

Background and Aim: Demand for implant-supported overdentures has increased due to the problems of conventional dentures. Despite the high success rate of implants, implant failure remains a major challenge. Implant overload can cause cortical bone loss and im-plant failure. Using finite element analysis (FEA), this study aimed to find the best design and type of attachments causing minimum stress in the alveolar bone.

Materials and Methods: The geometrical model of the mandible was produced using computed tomography (CT) data and three ITI implants were placed in the midline and the location of the first premolar teeth. All conditions were simulated using finite element software. Three bar-ball, bar and ball attachments were considered to support the overdenture. Maximum von Mises stress was calculated in the supporting bone in differ-ent overdenture designs.

Results: The greatest amount of stress in bone was around the upper thread and the neck of the implant. The ball and the bar-ball attachments applied the most and the least amount of stress to the peri-implant bone, respectively. Maximum stress was applied to the ball attachment in the bar-ball design. The maximum amount of movement was in bar-ball attachment.

Conclusion: The bar-design decreased the stability of overdenture, as well as the stress in the peri-implant bone. Ball design increased concentration of stress in bone around the implant and increased the stability of overdenture.
