Description
Mario Ceddia, Luciano Lamberti, and Bartolomeo Trentadue compare dental implant lengths in a rebuilt jaw. When a jaw is rebuilt with leg bone, the bone height left for implants is small. The team built a patient-based computer model of such a jaw. Three linked implants of the same width were tested at lengths of three, five, and twelve millimeters under a molar bite load.
Implant length barely changed stress in the implant or the bone surface. The five-millimeter implants gave the lowest strain in nearby bone and the lowest stress in the rear fixing plate. The longest implants piled strain at their tips past a set bone threshold. The authors favor short implants, above all the five-millimeter size, for this setting.
