The manner in which a force is distributed over a surface
is referred to as mechanical stress.
Stress = F/A
The internal stresses that develop in an implant system
and surrounding biologic tissues have a significant
influence on the long-term longevity of the implants in
vivo.

32. STRESS-STRAIN CHARACTERISTICS
The deformation and strain characteristics of
the materials used in implant dentistry may
influence interfacial tissues, and clinical
longevity.
Elongation (deformation) of biomaterials
used for dental implants range from 0% for
aluminum oxide (Al2O3) to up to 55% for
annealed 316-L stainless steel.

33. STRESS-STRAIN CHARACTERISTICS contd
A relationship is needed between the applied force
(and stress) and the subsequent deformation (and
strain).
If any elastic body is experimentally subjected to an
applied load, a load-vs.-deformation curve may be
generated.

(and stress) and the subsequent deformation (and
strain).
If any elastic body is experimentally subjected to an
applied load, a load-vs.-deformation curve may be
generated.
34. STRESS-STRAIN CHARACTERISTICS contd
Such a curve provides for the prediction of how much strain
will be experienced in a given material under an applied load.
The slope of the linear (elastic) portion of this curve is
referred to as the modulus of elasticity (E), and its value is
indicative of the stiffness of the material under study.
35. STRESS-STRAIN CHARACTERISTICS contd
The closer the modulus of elasticity of the implant
resembles that of the biologic tissues, the less the
likelihood of relative motion at the tissue-to-
implant interface.
Once a particular implant system (i.e., a specific
biomaterial) is selected, the only way to control the
strain is to control the applied stress or change the
density of bone around the implant.

36. IMPACT LOADS
• When two bodies collide in a
very small interval of time
(fractions of a second), relatively
large forces develop. Such a
collision is described as impact.
• In dental implant systems
subjected to occlusal impact
loads, deformation may occur in
1. the prosthetic restoration,
2. in the implant itself, or
3. in the interfacial tissue.

• The higher the impact load, the greater the risk
of implant and bridge failure and bone fracture.
• Rigidly fixed implants generates a higher impact
force than a natural tooth with its periodontal
ligament.
Various methods have been proposed to
address the issue of reducing implant loads.

Skalak suggested the use of acrylic teeth in conjunction with
osteointegrated fixtures. (JPD ; June 1983, vol 49)
Weiss has proposed that a fibrous tissue-to-implant interface
provides for physiologic shock absorption in the same manner as
by a functioning periodontal ligament.
Misch advocates an acrylic provisional restoration with a
progressive occlusal loading to improve the bone-to-implant
interface before the final restoration, occlusal design, and
masticatory loads are distributed to the system.

39. •The manner in which forces are applied to implant restorations
dictates the likelihood of system failure.
•If a force is applied some distance away from a weak link in an
implant or prosthesis, bending or torsional failure may result
from moment loads.
FORCE DELIVERY AND FAILURE
MECHANISMS
•The manner in which forces are applied to implant restorations
dictates the likelihood of system failure.
•If a force is applied some distance away from a weak link in an
implant or prosthesis, bending or torsional failure may result
from moment loads.
40. The moment of a force about a point tends to produce
rotation or bending about that point.
The moment is a vector quantity.
MomentMoment LoadsLoads == forceforce magnitudemagnitude XX momentmoment armarm
This imposed moment load is also referred to as a torque or
torsional load and may be quite destructive with respect to
implant systems.

41. 100 N
Proper restorative design must necessarily include consideration
of both forces and the moment loads caused by those forces.
42. CLINICAL MOMENTARMS AND CRESTAL BONE LOSS
A total of six moments (rotations) may develop about the three
clinical coordinate axes.
Such moment loads induce microrotations and stress
concentrations at the crest of the alveolar ridge at the implant-to-
tissue interface, which leads to crestal bone loss.
43. Three "clinical moment arms" exist in implant dentistry:-
1. Occlusal height,
2. Cantilever length, and
3. Occlusal width.
44. Occlusal height serves as the moment arm for force components
directed along the faciolingual axis as well as along the mesiodistal
axis.
OCCLUSAL HEIGHT MOMENT ARM
45. Moment of a force along the vertical axis is not affected by the
occlusal height because there is no effective moment arm. Offset
occlusal contacts or lateral loads, however, will introduce significant
moment arms.

46. • Large moments may develop from vertical axis force
components in cantilever extensions or offset loads from
rigidly fixed implants.
• A lingual force component may also induce a twisting
moment about the implant neck axis if applied through a
cantilever length.
CANTILEVER LENGTH MOMENT ARM
• Large moments may develop from vertical axis force
components in cantilever extensions or offset loads from
rigidly fixed implants.
• A lingual force component may also induce a twisting
moment about the implant neck axis if applied through a
cantilever length.
47.
48. • A 100-N force applied directly over the implant does not induce a
moment load or torque because no rotational forces are applied
through an offset distance.
• This same 100-N force applied 1 cm from the implant results in a
100 N-cm moment load.
• Similarly, if the load is applied 2 cm from the implant, a 200 N-cm
torque is applied to the implant-bone region, and 3 cm results in a
300 N-cm moment load.
(Implant abutments are typically tightened with less than 30 N-cm
of torque).

49. A - P DISTANCE
The distance from the center of
the most anterior implant to the
distal of each posterior implant is
called the anteroposterior (AP)
distance.
The greater the A - P distance,
the smaller the resultant load on
the implant system from
cantilevered forces, because of
the stabilizing effect of the
anteroposterior distance.

50. Maxillary anterior teeth in a tapered
arch form requires more posterior
implants than in a square arch form,
A - P DISTANCE
A tapered arch form permits greater
cantilever length than a square arch
form in mandibular anterior region.
51. • The most ideal biomechanical arch form depends on the restorative
situation:-
• Tapering arch form is favorable for anterior implants with posterior
cantilevers.
• Square arch form is preferred when canine and posterior implants are
used to support anterior cantilevers in either arch.
• Ovoid arch form has qualities of both tapered and square arches.
• Clinical experiences suggest that the distal cantilever should not
extend 2.5 times the A-P distance under ideal conditions.
• Patients with severe bruxism should not be restored with any
cantilevers.

79. LIANG KONG, ELECTION OF THE IMPLANT THREAD PITCH FOR
OPTIMAL BIOMECHANICAL PROPERTIES: A THREE-
DIMENSIONAL FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS,
Effects of the implant thread pitch on the maximum
stresses were evaluated in jaw bones and implant–
abutment complex by a finite element method.
The thread pitch ranged from 0.5 mm to 1.6 mm.
When thread pitch exceeded 0.8 mm, minimum stresses
were obtained.
Cancellous bone was more sensitive to thread pitch than
cortical bone did.

80. IMPLANT THREAD SHAPE
v shaped reverse buttress square threads
v shaped reverse buttress square threads
Kim et al.They evaluated an implant with the same number and
depth of threads with different thread shapes.TheV-shape and
reverse buttress had similar values.
The square thread had less stress in compressive and more
importantly shear forces.
81. IMPLANT THREAD SHAPE contd
V shaped threads convert the primary
compressive forces to the and result in 30 0
angled load
Square shaped threads are more resistant to a
shear load.
82. THREAD DEPTH
Greater the thread depth , greater the
surface area of the implant.
Thread depth is most in v shaped threads
As the diameter thread depth also
Thread depth can be modified along with
diameter of implant to theTSA by 150%
for every 1mm in diameter.

83. Should be slightly larger than outer diameter of the implant
1. to completely seal the osteotomy site…
2. Seal provides for greater initial stability
3. Increase FSA thereby reducing stress at the crestal region.
Height should be sufficient to provide biologic width.

88. IMPLANT COMPONENTS AND THEIR
REACTION TO FORCE
RETENTION SCREWS:
The retention screw loosening may result from the
following factors
-occlusal interferences,
-increased crown height,
-its design
-load on the abutment
-material type.

89. Screw loosening can be decreased by a preload with a
torque wrench on the screw.
Tighten the screw untighten it after few minutes
retighten it to the required force again.
This causes a deformation at the thread interface which
forms a more secure reunion.

90. CEMENT: loads over a cement retained prosthesis may cause
disruption of the cement seal causing movement of the
prosthesis.
These movements can further cause increase in the
direction of offset loads and may be detrimental to the
prosthesis as well as the implant.
BONE -IMPLANT INTERFACE: When the implant receives an
occlusal load there is increase in micro strain next to implant
–bone interface resulting in increase in bone density.
Therefore increasing the bone implant interface density
reduces the crestal bone loss.

91. OCCLUSION
Progressively loaded implants remain stable within the
bone….
Lamellar bone is highly organized but takes about 1 yr to
mineralize completely after the trauma induced by implant
placement.
PIERAZZINI: demonstrated the development of denser
trabaculae around progressively loaded implants in animals.

92. CONCLUSION
The most common complications in implant-related
reconstruction are related to biomechanical conditions.
The manifestation of biomechanical loads on dental
implants (moments, stress, and strain) controls the long-
term health of the bone-to-implant interface
It can be summarized that a destructive cycle can
develop with moment loads and result in crestal bone
loss.
Unless the bone increases in density and strength , the
cycle continues towards implant failure if the
biomechanical environment is not corrected.
