Abstract

The aim of this research was to perform a numerical stress analysis in an all-zirconia dental implant rehabilitation (zirconia implant plus a monolithic zirconia crown). A CAD-CAM monolithic zirconia dental crown was design and machined with the Zircohzahn dental CAD-CAM system. The.stl file generated was exported to engineering CAD software to analyse its design and perform a stress analysis with the finite elements method. Results show that the zirconia dental crown material is abble to support the stresses generated with a vertical load, similar to those that occur during mastication. The zirconia dental implant has lower stress values, which means that this implant design seems to be capable of withstand the stress generated during mastication.
