Abstract
- This study investigated the effects of the stiffness of a maxillary sinus graft and the surface roughness of an immediately loaded implant using a non-linear three-dimensional finite element (FE) analysis (3D). Six FE models were created, including two stiffness values of grafted bone (345 and 3450 MPa of elastic modulus) and three conditions of implant–bone interfaces (Frictional coefficient of 0·3 for machined surface, 0·45 for rough implant surface and a bonded implant–bone interface for an osseointegrated implant). Computer tomographic images of a human skull were used to construct a posterior maxillary model. All implants were designed via the computer aided design software with a spiral threaded configuration. Three loading scenarios were investigated for each of the six models; axial loading and lateral loadings at 30° and 60°. The results showed that a 60° lateral loading has scored the highest level of bone stresses among the three loading conditions. Immediately loaded implants with 0·3 frictional coefficient have suffered the highest bone stresses which were higher than those with bonded interface by about 57%. Increasing the frictional coeffecient to 0·45, however, did not show any benefits in reducing the peak bone stress. Raising the stiffness of grafted bone diminished the bone stress by about 10% in both the immediately loaded and the osseointegrated implants. It was also noted that increasing graft stiffness and implant surface roughness reduced the sliding at the implant-bone interface which may improve the implant stability and long-term survival.
