Abstract

Prosthetic rehabilitation of total edentulous jaws patients is today a common technique that clinicians approach in their daily practice. The use of dental implants for replacing missing teeth is going to be a safe technique and the implant-prosthetic materials give the possibility of having long-term clinical success. Aim of this work is to evaluate the mechanical features of three different prosthetic retention systems. By applying engineering systems of investigations like FEM and von Mises analyses, how the dental implant material holds out against the masticatory strength during the chewing cycles has been investigated. Three common dental implant overdenture retention systems have been investigated. The ball attachment system, the locator system, and the common dental abutment have been processed by Ansys Workbench 15.0 and underwent FEM and von Mises investigations. The elastic features of the materials used in the study have been taken from recent literature data. Results revealed different response for both types of device, although locator system showed better results for all conditions of loading. The data of this virtual model show all the features of different prosthetic retention systems under the masticatory load. Clinicians should find the better prosthetic solution related to the patients clinical condition in order to obtain long-term results.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The attributes of linear, homogeneous, continuous, isotropic materials and a semicontrolled mesh with high-order tetrahedral elements are commonly used in biomodelling and numerical analysis on biological tissues and organs.

    “All these attributes are commonly used when performing biomodelling and numerical analysis on biological tissues and organs [22, 37, 43–50].”

    From Numerical Analysis of the ACL, with Sprains of Different Degrees after Trauma (2021) · cites this paper as [46]

    Sections 2.4 and 2.6 describe higher-order elements and a tetrahedral mesh refined near areas of interest, supporting the mesh portion as an example of FEM modelling. Section 2.3 says cortical and cancellous bone were modelled as orthotropic, not isotropic. The paper does not establish that the full set of stated attributes is commonly used across biological tissues and organs; page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
