Finite element analysis of a new alveolar bone splitting technique in the mandibular posterior region.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Finite element analysis was used to predict the risk of bone plate fracture and the expected bone augmentation effect of a new alveolar bone splitting technique in the mandibular posterior region for different alveolar crest widths, different alveolar bone densities, different root incision widths, and different insertion depths of bone expansion instrumentation.

Methods

The jaw models of the mandibular posterior region were constructed by computer-aided software and surgical incisions and bone expansion instruments were prepared on the models, after which the alveolar bone splitting procedure was simulated by finite element analysis software, and the equivalent stress-strain distribution characteristics of the jaw models of each group, as well as the maximal forc
