Description
Bahattin Saz, Ozgun Yusuf Ozyilmaz, and Ozge Doganay Ozyilmaz present in 2026 a modeling study of stress in full-arch dental implants. Replacing every upper tooth with a fixed bridge loads implants in ways that decide long-term success. The team compared titanium and zirconia implants under three bridge materials, using finite element analysis, a computer method that maps force through a structure.
Twelve models paired each implant material with either a cantilever, a rear section jutting past the last implant, or a fully supported design. Each model took a slanted load of 200 newtons at a molar. The PEKK plastic bridge produced the highest stresses and the most movement, above all with the cantilever. Zirconia implants carried more stress than titanium but stayed within safe limits. Rigid bridge materials and designs without the jutting section come out ahead.
