The widely available options of different manufacturers in dental implant systems have complicated the selection criteria process for periodontists, necessitating careful consideration various factors when selecting suitable solutions individual patient needs. Optimal requires patient-specific factors, design, and surgical technique. Understanding biomechanical behavior implant-tissue interactions is crucial achieving successful long-lasting therapy. To adequately address this issue improve rigorous from a biomechanically numerical approach, research aims to analyze stress distribution fields, strain patterns, load transfer displacements within system implant-biological interface (gingival bony tissues) titanium three-piece two-one-piece ceramic systems. Thus, three commercially implants designed be placed jaw molar region were considered evaluation through finite element method under both oblique occlusal loading conditions. results exhibited an increasing trend highlight outstanding two-piece dissipate better (6 2 times lower than three- one-piece loads almost 5 1.3 more efficient loading, respectively), minimize peak values (below 100 MPa), reduce patterns compared with other two evaluated designs. On hand, effects generated biological tissues are strongly associated geometry features. This approach could provide promising strategy predicting micro-strains micromotion pieces geometries. Hence, these findings contribute deeper understanding biomechanics spectrum emphasize importance carefully appropriate material accurate performance.
