Abstract

Abstract - The aim of this article is to illustrate and discuss current methods applied in the analysis of biomechanical components in dental applications. For illustration purposes, the strain development of a non-passively fitting implant supported fixed restoration was evaluated using the four techniques: photoelastic examination, strain gauge measurements, finite element analysis, and three-dimensional deformation analysis. Photoelastic analysis only allowed for a raw estimation of the strains evoked by superstructure fixation. Quantitative results could be derived from both strain gauge measurements and three-dimensional deformation analysis which could then be used to simulate the loading situation around the supporting implants.
