This paper is devoted to a numerical approach of the biomechanics behavior modeling of a dental implant supported prothesis made up of three elements, and the surrounding bone under the masticatory forces loading. A clinical situation involving both biological (the bone tissue) and non-biological (the three elements of implant prosthesis) materials is simulated. This problem involves fine technical structure details – the threads, tapers, etc with a great impact in masticatory force transmission. Modeling the contact between the implant and the bone tissue is important to a proper bone-implant interface model and implant design. A three-dimensional numerical model is proposed in order to calculate the state of stress and displacement of this complex structure in order to evaluate its stability by determining the risk zones of stress concentration. The results of numerical modeling are in good agreement with other numerical results and clinical cases
A comparison between this numerical analysis and clinical cases is performed and a good agreement is obtained.
