Application of numerical modeling in dental implantology biomechanics

Numerical modeling is currently widely used in all branches of medicine. In this paper a numerical model of the biomechanical response of bone - dental implant system to masticatory loading is presented. The geometrical model is accurately created and used to calculate the state of stress in bone tissue and dental implant by finite element method. Different types of loadings due to masticatory forces are taken into account and emphasized their influences. The results obtained by the numerical model developed and presented herein are in good agreement with clinical observations and other results from literature.Numerical modeling is currently widely used in all branches of medicine.
