STUDY
- Technical details
Each model is made of 4 components:
| - |
trabecolous bone (E=300 MPa) |
| - | cortical
bone (E=11000 MPa) |
| - | implants
(E=100000 MPa) |
Totally,
15000 tetrahedral elements with 10 nodes resulted in the case of traditional implants,
48000 tetrahedral elements with 10 nodes in the case of bracket and screw implants.
In both cases a condition of perfect osteo-integration was simulated and two different
conditions of load too:
| - | pure
vertical load equal to 200 N; |
| - |
vertical load equal to 200 N + horizontal load equal to 40 N |
