Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study aimed to clarify the biomechanical effects of offset placement on the peri-implant bone in edentulous posterior mandibles by comparative investigation using FEA and model experimentation with strain gauges. Three types of experimental models, each with different implant placement, were prepared. In one model, the implants were placed in a straight line; in the other two, the implants in the parts corresponding to the second premolar and the first molar were offset each by a 1-mm increment to the buccal or lingual side. Four strain gauges were applied to the peri-implant bone corresponding to the first molar. The experimental models were imaged by micro-computed tomography, and FEA models were constructed from the CT data.
Both experimental and FEA models suffered the least compressed displacement during central loading in all placements. Offset placement may not necessarily be more biomechanically effective than straight placement in edentulous posterior mandibles.
