Abstract
The study emphasizes the need to consider the bone remodelling process in stability analysis studies for implant-supported bridges. The research factors in the impact of changes in bone mechanical properties during the healing period, starting from implant placement until the completion of bone healing. The study demonstrates that bone remodelling is dynamic around the implant placement site, and the location of implant placement plays a crucial role in determining changes in bone density. Finite element analysis without considering bone remodelling results in the areas of high micro-strain and a relatively lower assessment of risk differences associated with the number of implants. This study provides valuable insight into the impact of considering bone remodelling on the stability analysis of implant-supported bridges. This can guide the development of better implant designs and treatment plans that take bone remodelling into account to improve patient outcomes.
