ABSTRACT
Additive manufacturing enables local grading of the stiffness of dental implants through targeted adjustment of the manufacturing parameters to meet patient specific requirements. The extent to which such a manufacturing approach affects the interaction between the implant body and the surrounding bone, and what grading is optimal, is currently insufficiently investigated. This study investigates the effect of different Young's modulus grading approaches on stresses in the peri-implant bone via finite element analysis. The implant geometry was kept constant and in the case of the implant a node-dependent elastic modulus was assigned. In this way, a vertical, a radial and three torus based grading approaches were created and examined. A load was then applied directly to the occlusal surface of the implant crown. It was found that a local grading utilizing a torus shape was most favourable in terms of an effective stress peak reduction. The best torus shape tested achieved a 22 % reduction of maximum principal stress and 6 % reduction of minimum principal stress compared to the uniform material. In clinical settings, this may provide benefits in situations of overload. Based on the results, a graded stiffness in dental implants appears to be of interest for developing advanced, patient-specific implant solutions.
