Effects of Different Positions and Angles of Implants in Maxillary Edentulous Jaw on Surrounding Bone Stress under Dynamic Loading: A Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis

Figure 2

Three-dimensional solid models of the maxilla. Models used two mesial and two distal implants, a titanium upper bracket, and resin teeth. Model numbers represent different positions of mesial implants (I–III, IV–VI, and VII–IX for central incisor, lateral incisor, and canine, respectively) and different angles of distal implants (I/IV/VII, II/V/VIII and III/VI/IX for 15°, 30°, and 45°, respectively).
