Abstract: | Opportunities to increase prosthetic treatment efficiency by means of applying osseointegrated implants of traditional and prospective types are analysed. A technique of mathematical modelling of the interaction between implants and jaw bone is exposed. The numerical model and applied program, developed on the basis of finite element method, enabling to analyse a stress strain state of the bone and to determine extreme safe loads on implants are described. It is shown, that the most loaded zone is a layer of the compact bone directly contiguous to the neck of the implant. That is in good agreement with the results of clinical research, according to which just this zone has the highest percentage of complications. Methods for further optimisation of implants and prosthetic structures for the purpose to perfect the techniques of prosthetic treatment are discussed. |
