on the stress distribution of mandibular implant retained overdentures

his study evaluated the stress behavior of single (S) and two (T) implants retained mandibular overdentures on periimplantar
and alveolar bone regions. Photoelastic mandible models (n=14) were obtained from transfer impression of implant analogs
inserted in prototypes varying implant locations in the canines or middle regions, design of implants as regular (RI) or one-piece mini
implants (MI), implant/abutment connection as morse taper (CM), internal hexagon (HI), external hexagon (HE) and attachments
as ball (B) and equator (E). The S and T overdentures over the photoelastic models (RI/HI/B); (RI/HE/B); (MI/B); (RI/CM/E); (RI/
HI/E); (RI/HE/E) were positioned on a circular polariscope, submitted to a bilateral load (150 N) on first molars and photographed.
Stress distribution was qualitatively analyzed (software fringes) according to isochromatic fringes orders (0 black; 1 violet/blue
transition; 2, 3, 4 red/green transition); the greater the number and proximity of the fringes, the higher the stress. The lowest stress on
periimplantar was found in (MI/B order 1) followed by (RI/CM/E order 1); (RI/CM/B order 1); (RI/HI/B order 1); (RI/HI/E order 1
and 2); (RI/HE/E order 2 and 3), (RI/HE/B order 2 and 3) for S group and in (MI/B order 1), (RI/HI/B order 1); (RI/CM/B order 1);
(RI/HE/B order 1); (RI/HE/E order 1 and 2); (RI/HI/E order 2), (RI/CM/B order 2) for T group. The worst situation was presented
by S groups (RI/HE/B) and (RI/HE/E). Overall, for MI, the phostoelasticity showed the lowest stress on implants and the highest and
best distributed stress on alveolar bone. Both attachments presented similar stress behavior.
