Abstract

PURPOSE: The aim of this work was to study the biomechanical behavior of a "All-on-four" implant-supported prosthesis through a finite element analysis using either isotropic or anisotropic properties of bone. The influence of foodstuff position during mastication was also analysed. MATERIALS AND ME...
