In vivo measurement of three-dimensional load exerted on dental implants: a literature review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

For biomechanical consideration of dental implants, an understanding of the three-dimensional (3D) load exerted on the implant is essential, but little information is available on the in vivo load, including the measuring devices.

Purpose

This review aimed to evaluate studies that used specific load-measuring devices that could be mounted on an implant to measure the functional load in vivo.

Materials and methods

An electronic search utilizing the internet research databases PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus was performed. The articles were chosen by two authors based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results

In all, 132 studies were selected from the database search, and 16 were selected from a manual search. Twenty-three studies were finall
