Re: Biomechanical study of mandible bone supporting a four-implant retained bridge finite element analysis of the influence of bone anisotropy and foodstuff position.

摘要

In this finite element study, Bonnet et al. [1] investigated the biomechanical behavior of the All-on-four system. The FE model used indeed overcame several assumptions and simplifications incorporated in previous FE studies. However, in order to adopt and apply conclusions of numerical studies - including FE - to the clinical aspect, results should be interpreted considering the model simulation conditions; forces used and boundary fixation.
