Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether or not bone quality has an effect on the biomechanical behavior of a tooth connected to an implant, when a rigid and a nonrigid attachment are used.
Materials And Methods: Models of fixed partial dentures supported by a tooth and an implant were developed. These models were then imported into finite element analysis software to study the impact of forces on different types of attachments (rigid vs nonrigid) and bones (types 1 to 4).

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress distribution during application of occlusal loads to maxillary anterior single external- and internal-connection implant-supported restorations with different amounts of bone loss and with the use of different metal alloys for restorations and fixation screws.
Materials And Methods: Models of external- and internal-connection implants, corresponding abutments/crowns, and fixation screws were developed. These models were then imported into finite element analysis software to study the impact of forces on different implant connections and materials.
