Design Improvement of Dental Implant-Based on Bone Remodelling

There are many types of mechanical failure on the
dental implant. In this project, the failure that needs to take into
consideration is the bone resorption on the dental implant. Human
bone has its ability to remodel after the implantation. As the dental
implant is installed into the bone, the bone will detect and change the
bone structure to achieve new biomechanical environment. This
phenomenon is known as bone remodeling. The objective of the
project is to improve the performance of dental implant by using
different types of design. These designs are used to analyze and
predict the failure of the dental implant by using finite element
analysis (FEA) namely ANSYS. The bone is assumed to be fully
attached to the implant or cement. Hence, results are then compared
with other researchers. The results were presented in the form of Von
Mises stress, normal stress, shear stress analysis, and displacement.
The selected design will be analyzed further based on a theoretical
calculation of bone remodeling on the dental implant. The results
have shown that the design constructed passed the failure analysis.
Therefore, the selected design is proven to have a stable performance
at the recovery stage.
