title: [A three-dimensional finite element stress analysis of implant-supported prosthesis and its supporting tissue in the edentulous mandible. Part 6. The influence of superstructure in mandibular complete implant overdenture and its supporting tissue].
abstract: The effect of superstructure, including telescope, conventional-bar and modified-bar, on the stress distribution of mandibular complete implant overdenture and its supporting tissue was investigated in this study. The results demonstrated that bar could lower the extreme principle stress of the implant, but the stress distribution of implant-bone interface was better when the implants were not linked with each other. Modified-bar is not preferred because it increases the stress of implant and its interface.
