Title: Theoretical role of adjunctive implant positional support in stress distribution of distal-extension mandibular removable partial dentures. Author: Xiao W, Li Z, Shen S, Chen S, Wang Y, Wang J. Journal: Int J Prosthodont; 2014; 27(6):579-81. PubMed ID: 25390876. Abstract: This preliminary study evaluated the adjunctive supporting role of diverse implant positions on stress distribution in a Class I removable partial denture (RPD) design. Nine three-dimensional finite element models were prepared to simulate mandibular RPD designs with three different loading conditions applied. Implant supported designs demonstrated lower stress value concentrations and mucosal displacement.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
