Abstract

The aim of this paper is to underline the mechanical properties of two single retained implant crown materials in order to differentiate the possibility of using each material for typical clinical condition and masticatory load. Objective of the investigation is to highlight the stress distribution over different common dental crown materials by using computer-aided design software and a three-dimensional virtual model. By using finite element analysis it has been highlighted the strength over simulated retained implant single crowns made by metal ceramicand dental resin. The retainedimplant crown models have been created and put on simulated chewing stresses. The three-dimensional models were subjected to axial and oblique forces and both guaranteed expected results over simulated masticatory cycle. Both prosthetic solutions offer long-term success if applied following the manufacture guide limitations and suggestions.
