Research from Sao Paulo State University Broadens Understanding of Bone Research

2011 MAY 16 -- New research, 'Influence of implant inclination associated with mandibular class I removable partial denture,' is the subject of a report. "The aim of this study was to use two-dimensional finite element method to evaluate the displacement and stress distribution transmitted by a distal extension removable partial denture (DERPD) associated with an implant placed at different inclinations (0, 5, 15, and 30 degrees) in the second molar region of the edentulous mandible ridge. Six hemimandibular models were created: model A, only with the presence of the natural tooth 33; model B, similar to model A, with the presence of a conventional DERPD replacing the missing...
