The aim of the study was to present a methodology of development of a virtual 3-dimensional dental implant model for analyses via the finite element method.
A set, consisting of a dental implant and abutment, was embedded in acrylic resin for subsequent metallographic grinding and polishing. After the evidentiation of the internal geometry of the implant, the specimen was treated in a sputter for observation using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM image was transported to computer-aided design software by which all details of the implant were measured. With the measures obtained, the geometry was reproduced with 3-dimensional modeling software. Finally, the model was imported into finite element method analysis software with which it was discretized, generating a mesh.
A model with the accurate geometry of the implant was developed. A mesh of 297,600 elements and 490,045 nodes was generated. An aleatory acceleration simulation was performed to test the mesh, and no errors were identified.
The developed methodology generated a precise dental implant model, which can be applied in different finite element method simulations.
本研究旨在提出一种通过有限元法对三维虚拟牙科植入物模型进行分析的方法。
将一组包括植入物和基台的组件嵌入丙烯酸树脂中,以便随后进行金相研磨和抛光。在凸显植入物的内部几何形状后,用喷金处理样本,然后用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)进行观察。将 SEM 图像传输到计算机辅助设计软件中,通过该软件可以测量植入物的所有细节。根据获得的测量值,使用三维建模软件复制几何形状。最后,将模型导入有限元法分析软件中进行离散化,生成网格。
开发了一个具有植入物精确几何形状的模型。生成了一个包含 297600 个元素和 490045 个节点的网格。进行了随机加速模拟测试网格,未发现错误。
所开发的方法生成了一个精确的牙科植入物模型,可应用于不同的有限元法模拟。
