| In
this work we experimented the bio-mechanical analyse of two different types of
operation on a partially edentulous jaw-bone: with traditional implants or with
welded screws and bracket implants by a wire. For this reason a three-dimensional
model has been created: it's made of homogeneous materials and able to simulate
a part of the mandible. The obtained results allowed to control how the tensional
states don't produce breaking tensions in both cases (except in very localised
points), but when using traditional implants important concentrations of tensions
occur in the bone, in correspondence of the discontinuity between the original
cortical bone and the implanted bone and in correspondence of the distal extremity
of the screw. So it's right to affirm that bracket and screw implants allow
to produce a more favourable bio-mechanical condition in addition to a higher
application simplicity. The new structural model is necessary for a better comprehension
of the way of loading and it could be personalised on each patient imposing a
certain thickness of the cortical bone and a specific quality of the trabecolous
bone. Complexly, we set a methodology able to compare different "planning"
solutions of surgical operation in Odontostomatology. |
