PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS OF MOBILITY AND STABILIZATION OF ADJUSTABLE IMPLANTS
This article systematizes the issues of mobility and fixation of periosteal implants. As already noted in other sources of literature, a preliminary analysis conducted mainly using dependencies of theoretical mechanics and material resistance in this study is not an end in itself, but allows you to logically construct a scheme of the proposed research using the finite element method and predict at least quality, expected results. In science, such a thing as «purity of experiment» is known. Since the decision based on the finite element method is actually a numerical experiment, we consider it very useful and effective to carry out a preliminary analysis using this method, when all side effects associated with the complexity of the real dental-maxillary segment are excluded. In conducting this study, classical solutions known in the literature for an elastic beam and a plate on an elastic foundation were used. Since the magnitude of the chewing load (and the shoulder of its action) is almost fixed, and the mechanical properties of the bone tissue of a particular patient (traumatic stresses in the first place) also vary within small limits, the only way to reduce stresses in the concentration zones is their rational distribution by optimizing the design.
