Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The difference of dental arch shape mainly refers to different anterior tooth arrangement, and the shape of dental arch has a certain influence on the peri-implant stress distribution. Current three-dimensional finite element analysis for implant-supported denture mainly focuses on the same dental arch shape, and little is reported on the biomechanical difference of different dental arch shapes.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the biomechanical behaviors of implant-supported fixed partial denture with square, oval and tapered arch shapes using the method of three-dimensional finite element analysis.
METHODS: Based on the Cone-beam CT data of the human jaw, three kinds of models of implant-supported fixed partial denture and the surrounding bone were established. The force of 300 N (100 N of incisor, lateral incisor or canine crown) was applied to the fixed bridges at an angle of 45o alone the long axis of the tooth from labial side to lingual side to evaluate the Von-Mises stress distribution of cortical bone and cancellous bone and the displacement of implant-abutment complex.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The Max EQV stress in the cortical bone and cancellous bone around the implant in the three models were ranked as tapered model > oval model > square model, and the Max displacement of the implant-abutment complex in the three models were ranked as tapered model > oval model > square model. Overall findings indicate that the square arch shape shows lower stress and better stress distribution than the other two arch shapes.
