Materials (Basel). 2023 Apr 21;16(8):3261. doi: 10.3390/ma16083261. PMID: 37110097; PMCID: PMC10146056. Abstract Purpose: The primary stability of a dental implant is critical for successful osseointegration during immediate loading. The cortical bone should be prepared to achieve enough primary stability, but not overcompressed. In this study, we investigated the stress and strain distribution in the bone around the implant induced by the occlusal force applied during immediate loading at various bone densities by the FEA method to compare cortical tapping and widening surgical techniques. Materials and methods: A three-dimensional geometrical model of a dental i...
