Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue on the topic “Numerical and Experimental Biomechanical Characterization of Implant Dentistry Materials” (IF: 3.74). Today, dentists, dental implant designers, and clinicians can benefit from recent advances in the numerical and experimental characterization of materials for implantology so that they can safely implement these advances in the clinical setting. Therefore, the characterization of implantology materials is essential to have an excellent clinical performance, either through mechanical tests (static, dynamic or fatigue), in vitro or in vivo tests and clinical trials with randomized controls. All these tests require all the current techniques of experimental mechanics, numerical simulation with the finite element method (FEM, metaphysical simulation, statistical & particle modeling) and the latest image-based techniques (digital image correlation, photoelasticity, CAD-CAM, SEM, FTIR spectroscopy).

This special edition welcomes high-quality original articles, communications and review articles focused on advanced experimental mechanics, numerical simulations, clinical studies, digital technologies and available systems for dental implantology, with the aim of improving dental treatment options and dental care.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Materials is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The objective of this study was to compare the distribution of stress in the maxillary bone, dental implants, and prosthetic components supporting implant-supported maxillary overdentures with partial palatal coverage, in both splinted and unsplinted designs. Two models of maxillary overdentures were designed using the Exocad Dental CAD program, which included cancellous and cortical bone. The complete denture design and abutments (locator abutments in the unsplinted and Hader bar with Vertix attachments placed distally in the splinted variant) were also designed. The denture material was PEEK (Polyetheretherketone), and the method used to analyze patient-specific 3D X-ray scans was 3D QCT/FEA (three-dimensional quantitative computed tomography-based finite element analysis). Loading was divided into three load cases, in the frontal region (both incisors of the denture) and distal region (both molars and first premolar of the denture). The forces applied were 150 N with an oblique component with a buccal inclination of 35° in the frontal region, and 600 N with a buccal inclination of 5° (molars) or solely vertical (premolar) in the distal region. The model with locator abutments showed higher stresses in all load cases in both analyzed implant variants and in the maxilla. The differences in stress distribution between the splinted and unsplinted variants were more significant in the distal region. According to the results of the present study, the amount of stress in bone tissue and dental implant parts was smaller in the splinted, bar-retained variant. The findings of this study can be useful in selecting the appropriate prosthetic design for implant-supported maxillary overdentures with partial palatal coverage. Full article
