title: The influence of materials difference on stress distribution and bone remodeling around alumina and titanium dental implants.
abstract: The long-term complications of dental implants are associated with loosening of the implant-bone interface, due to bone resorption and subsequent connective tissue interposing at the implant-bone interface. Mechanical stresses, which are induced in the surrounding bone, play a key role in the interface bone remodeling. In the present study, it is investigated how local stress patterns are associated with local bone structure. For identical geometry alumina, and titanium implants, the stress patterns, determined in the finite element models with boundary conditions, are compared with the local bone structure found in animal experiments. The results indicate that there appears to be relationship between the stress patterns and the bone remodeling at the implant-bone interface independently on the materials properties in alumina and titanium.
