Background And Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of abutment angulation, types, and bone quality on fatigue performance in dental implant systems.
Materials And Methods: Three-dimensional models of maxillary 3-unit fixed implant-supported prostheses were analyzed. Abutments with different angles and types were used.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines how different angles, types of abutments, and materials affect stress distribution and fatigue performance in dental implant systems using finite element analysis.
- Three-dimensional models of fixed implant-supported prostheses were tested under a specific force to evaluate how various configurations influenced stress and performance.
- Results indicated that metal-framework restorations with minimal angulation provide better biomechanics, showing higher fatigue strengths in the premolar region compared to the molar region and pointing to a generally lower performance in zirconia frameworks.
