Abstract
Results of a preliminary study of stress in bone around dental implants are presented. Stress is calculated using the method of finite elements. Two blade type and one pin type implant are subjected to horizontal and to vertical forces of 19 lb. Differences in blade implant design do not alter the stress distribution significantly. The pin implant shows that most of the load is carried near the entrance into the bone, with a rapid fall in stress.
