title: [A three-dimensional finite element stress analysis of implant-supported prosthesis and its supporting tissue in the edentulous mandible. Part 5. The influence of implant type in complete implant overdenture and its supporting tissue].
abstract: The stress distribution of implant, implant-bone interface, alveolar ridge surface and the overdenture when supported by cylindrical-type or blade-type implants under three kinds of occlusion, were investigated respectively in this study. The results showed that the extreme principle stress was greater when the denture was supported by blade-type implants than by cylindrical type one. The stress distribution of the system with application of cylindrical type implant is more acceptable.
