Finite element analysis (FEA) has been used extensively to predict the biomechanical performance of various dental implant designs as well as the effect of clinical factors on implant success. By understanding the basic theory, method, application, and limitations of FEA in implant dentistry, the clinician will be better equipped to interpret results of FEA studies and extrapolate these results to clinical situations. This article reviews the current status of FEA applications in implant dentistry and discusses findings from FEA studies in relation to the bone-implant interface, the implant-prosthesis connection, and multiple-implant prostheses.
有限元分析（FEA）已被广泛用于预测各种牙种植体设计的生物力学性能以及临床因素对种植成功的影响。通过了解有限元分析在种植牙学中的基本理论、方法、应用和局限性，临床医生将更有能力解释有限元分析研究的结果，并将这些结果外推到临床情况。本文综述了有限元分析在种植牙学中的应用现状，并讨论了有限元分析研究在骨-种植体界面、种植体-修复体连接和多颗种植体修复方面的研究结果。
