Simulation of the behavior of mandibular periimplant bone with a remodeling model

The strains and stresses in bone, needed to assess the mechanical stimulus and the accumulated damage, are calculated by means of the FEM. In this case, a model of a section of a human mandible around the first right molar has been created (see Fig. 2). This tooth has been assumed to be replaced by a prosthesis, but only the body of the implant has been included in the model. The
