Abstract

This paper aims at providing a preliminary understanding in biomechanics with respect to the effect of the particle size of Fully Porous-Coated (FPC) dental implant on osseointegration. 2D multiscale finite element models are created for a typical dental implantation setting. Under a certain mastication force (<200N), a global response is first obtained from a macro-scale model (without considering morphological details on the coated surface), and then it is transferred to micro-scale models (with coated surface morphology details in three different particle sizes). An equivalent strain is analyzed to investigate the effect of particle size of the FPC materials on osseointegration and initiation of bone remodelling. The result reveals that increasing particle sizes has a significant effect on biomechanical and bone remodelling responses.
