Finite Element Analysis of Compressive Stress Pattern in Implant-tooth Supported Fixed Partial Denture: An In Vitro Study April- June 2018;5(2):25-30

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of connector design on magnitude and distribution pattern of compressive stress in supporting bone of implant natural tooth supported three unit fixed partial denture in distal extension cases.
the outcome of the study demonstrated that when the implant is used as a distal abutment in distal extension case, it is recommended to place the non rigid connector in the mesial side of the distal implant abutment in implant natural tooth supported fixed partial denture.

本研究旨在探讨连接体设计对远中游离端病例中种植体-天然牙联合支持的三单位固定局部义齿支持骨内压应力的大小与分布模式的影响。
本研究结果表明，在远中游离端病例中，若以种植体作为远中基牙，种植体-天然牙联合支持的固定局部义齿宜将非刚性连接体置于远中种植体基牙的近中侧。
