Paper ID S005 : Mechanical consideration of implant support in removable partial denture design applied by a magnetic attachment using three-dimensional finite element analysis

It was impressive to see that the implant length did not affect both stress distribution and denture displacement in the alveolar bone. How do you imagine the effect of the different load conditions of unilateral load in working side simulating the chewing force?

Thank you for your question.
In the current analysis system, it is very difficult to analyze the unilateral load in working side simulating the chewing force.
Even if the load is unilateral, by placing an implant as an intermediate defect, stress distribution in the alveolar bone and denture displacement of the denture are expected to decrease. Therefore, it is thought that the effect of implant length is small.
However, if the position of the implant is changed, it may greatly affect stress distribution in the alveolar bone and denture displacement.

Thanks a lot for your comments. I look forward to the fruitful outcome of your future research.
