3D-FEA Study on Stress Distribution Around 4-mm Ultra-Short Dental Implants

This study uses three-dimensional finite element analysis to assess how occlusal loading, prosthetic configuration, and crown material affect stress and strain distribution in bone around 4-mm ultra-short dental implants. It compares single and splinted crown restorations made of zirconia and composite resin under different loading conditions, including vertical and oblique forces with a simulated food bolus. The research aims to address concerns about bone stress concentration in minimally invasive implant solutions for posterior atrophic regions.
