The example depicted in Fig. 1 shows the behaviour of a cylindrical threaded implant for the application of combined intrusive and transversal loads.
Different mechanical properties are assumed for the cortical and trabecular bone. The same Young's modulus (5.0 GPa) is assumed both for the transition region between implant and cortical bone and the transition region between implant and trabecular bone.
Loading is assumed according to average data reported in literature and is a combination of a 200 N intrusive force and a 20 N transversal force. The cortical thickness is 1.5 mm.
The magnitude displacement field is shown for the section of the mandible together with the implant and in order to show the relevant stiffness of the implant with respect to the bone.
