This document discusses implant biomechanics and osseointegration. It notes that osseointegration occurs when an implant bonds to living bone, providing long term stability. Biomechanics involves the interaction between forces and tissues in the body. Key factors for implants include force magnitude and direction, as well as moment arms related to implant location and design. Proper implant selection, placement, and occlusion are important to minimize these forces and moments to prevent implant failure.
3. OSSEOINTEGRATION
•Occurs when an implant is inserted into living bone
•Connection/bond between living bone and implant
•Key for long term stability
4. Biomechanics is the interaction between the tissues and
organs of the body and the forces acting on them. It is the
response of the biologic tissue to the applied loads.
Variables Force, Moment and Torque
Constants Bone and perioral tissues
FORCE
- At rest
- In function
- Parafunction
- Compressive
- Tensile
- Shear
Force magnitude, direction, duration, magnification
5. Three moment arms in implant dentistry:
Occlusal height: Div A < Div C, D
Occlusal width: Large occlusal table increase the moment impact for
any offset occlusal loads.
Cantilever length:
•Antero-Posterior (A-P)
•Parafunction
•Arch form
Minimization of these arms are necessary to prevent any
implant failure!

7. IMPLANT
1. Biomaterial: Ti alloy
2. Geometry:
- Crest module
- Shape: cylindrical, tapered, conical, hybrid et al
- Size
- Threads: Y/N? Thread geometry, pitch, depth et al
- Surface treated: Plasma sprayed, HA coated et al
3. Placement and Prosthetic restoration
9. Platform switching: Use of a smaller-diameter abutment on a
larger-diameter implant collar.
Preserves crestal bone level
Provides horizontal component to
biologic width; Implant-abutment
interface is shifted inwards

11. Biomechanical case planning
•Force magnitude, direction, duration type and
magnification
•Site: Location, bone, bony undercut
•Type, height, size (length+diameter), functional
surface area of implant
•Surgery
12. To summarize,
•Case based Implant selection: variables – number, shape,
threads, pitch, surface, length, diameter, et al.
•Elimination of parafunction
•DON’T connect implant to natural tooth!
•DON’T use wide diameter implants in very dense bone!
•Proper occlusion and loading:
- Implant protected occlusion
- Progressive loading
- Cross bite for buccally resorbed
• Maxillary anterior: Angled > Straight abutment
Steep anterior guidance
13. Implant-protected occlusion:
- increase the surface area of implants
- decreasing the width of the occlusal table
- reducing the occlusal contacts/no premature contacts,
reduced cusp inclination, shallow occlusal anatomy, and wide
grooves and fossae
- improving the force direction
- reducing the magnification of the force
Progressive loading:
• D1, D2, D3, D4 : 3, 4, 5, 6 months
• Soft diet
• Change of occlusal material:
No contact acrylic final metal/ceramic
Lateral load
PDL:
stress absorber, even force transmitter.
Lateral F
Alveolar crest/Horizontal/Oblique/Periapical/Interradicular fibers.
Implant is fixed to the bone, there is osseointegration with bone. Lateral F @ crest.
So placement, angulation and prosthesis delivery matter!
Stress concentration on crestal bone so bone loss so
Depends on:
Material
Surface
Heat during surgery
Initial stability
Bone quality
Force: At rest, perioral forces by tongue and cheek + in function: occlusal loads, mastication, et al
Parafunction: bruxism, clenching, et al
Moment: quantity of motion, tend to cause screw loosening, component fracture, bone resorption, interface breakdown
Torque: force that causes rotation
Compressive: pushing forces. cortical bone is strongest in compression; this force is accommodated best, by cement, screws, implant components, bone-implant interface. This is the force we want in implant.
Tensile: pulling forces.
Shear: sliding forces. other planar forces and we dont want these type of forces!
Force magnifiers : 1. Cantilever length 2. Crown height 3. Night guards 4. Occlusal material 5. Over dentures
Occlusal height and width are variable constants, variable because they can be modified by grafting within feasiblity AND constant , because there’s a limit to it, and after bone site healing, the final crown height and width will depend on the occlusion and available MD and BL distance.
Div A less moment cos less crown height wrt C + D
Occlusal width
Narrow table with more centric points
If large, then cantilever > moment & more occlusal force imparted
cantilever length:
1. Antero-Posterior (A-P) spread, if more, then forces due to cantilever is better absorbed
2. Distal cantilever >/ 2.5 A-P spread
3. Contraindication: Parafunction
4. Square arch, less AP spread so less cantilever wrt tapered arch
Bone is a constant, but it can be varied to limits with grafting and similar procedures.
Now, according to the implant site features like bone, adjacent and opposite teeth et al; we have to place the implant.
Conventional placement is not always feasible, sometimes modification in planning and procedure is mandatory.
Ti alloys exhibits a higher endurance limit compared with commercially pure titanium
Crest module: slightly larger diameter than implant, polished, not very long
Cylindrical implant shear forces
Long implant in D2/3 no, surgical risk cos engage opposite cortical & nerve repositioning/sinus grafting
Palatal and lingual
So if possible, abutment should be selected of smaller diameter than that of implant collar.
If normal size abutments are to be used, then implant size has to be larger which is not poss uif bone width is less.
If normal implant size used, then abutment will have to be smaller compromising emergence and esthetics in anterior cases.
Dental implants function to transfer load to surrounding biological tissues. Thus the primary functional design objective is to manage (dissipate and distribute) biomechanical loads to optimize the implant supported prosthesis function. Definition: Process of analysis and determination of loading and deformation of bone in a biological system.
If less dense bone, then pitch between threads should be more
Force magnifiers : 1. Cantilever length 2. Crown height 3. Night guards 4. Occlusal material 5. Over dentures
Square<3
X more shear component- v shape and buttress
Thread pitch: smaller the pitch (finer) the more threads on the implant body for a given unit length, and thus the greater surface area per unit length of the implant body
Cylindrical implant shear forces
Long implant in D2/3 no, surgical risk cos engage opposite cortical & nerve repositioning/sinus grafting
