Comparative Evaluation of Implant Designs: Influence of Diameter, Length, and Taper on Stress and Strain in the Mandibular Segment-A Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis.

Introduction: Success or failure of dental implants depends on the amount of stress transferred to the surrounding bone. Increased amount of loading to the bone through implant cause failure, whereas decrease in the amount of loading to the bone causes improved success rate of implants. Biomechanical interaction between implant and bone decides the long-term function or prognosis of dental implant system.
