Biomechanical behavior of customized scaffolds: A three-dimensional finite element analysis

• Design and simulation by FEM of customized scaffolds fixed to the jaw a dental implant. Distribution stress in crown, implant, scaffold, cortical trabecular bone, strain bone. Influence porosity hole size on The use allows significant reduction stresses peri-implant Teeth loss due periodontal diseases, trauma, or infections often causes dimensional affected maxillary. In patients with reduced maxillary size, restoration chewing function esthetics endosseous implants may fail. aim this work was simulate biomechanical behavior, using finite element method, implant partially edentulous jaw. Porous were designed from medical images type IV bone quality. influence diameter scaffold maximum levels peri -implant evaluated. highest values scaffolds, crown lower than yield strength their respective materials. allow recover dimensions evaluated A decrease observed Furthermore, it found that parameters did not have von Mises equivalent
