Journal Article
Biomechanical analysis of alveolar bones with compromised quality supporting a 4-unit implant bridge; a possible association with implant-related sequestration (IRS)
2024
Overview
Objectives
This study aimed to investigate the strain in the bone surrounding dental implants supporting a 4-unit bridge and assess the role of excessive strain as a possible risk factor for implant related sequestration (IRS) or peri-implant medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (PI-MRONJ).
Materials and methods
A 3D-mandibular model was constructed using computed tomography and segmented it into cortical and cancellous bones. The 4-unit implant-supported bridges replacing the mandibular posteriors were constructed, and each featuring two, three, and four implants, respectively. The Young’s modulus was assigned based on the quality of the bone. A maximum occlusal force of 200 N was applied to each implant in the axial and in a 30-degree oblique direction.
Results
The maximum principal strain of the fatigue failure range (> 3000 µε) in the bone was analyzed. The volume fraction of fatigue failure was higher in poor-quality bone compared to normal bone and oblique load than in axial load. An increasing number of implants may dissipate excessive strain in poor-quality bones.
Conclusions
Occlusal force applied to poor-quality bone can result in microdamage. Given that unrepaired microdamage may initiate medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw, long-term occlusal force on fragile bones might be a risk factor.
Clinical Relevance
When planning implant treatment for patients with compromised bone status, clinical modifications such as strategic placement of implants and optimization of restoration morphology should be considered to reduce excessive strain which might be associated with IRS or PI-MRONJ.
