The aim of the present study was to perform an integrative systematic review on the stress distribution assessed by finite element analysis on dental implants or abutments composed of carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK composites. An electronic search was performed on PUBMED and ScienceDirect using a combination of the following search terms: PEEK, Polyetheretherketone, FEA, FEM, Finite element, Stress, Dental implant and Dental abutment. The findings reported mechanical properties and the stress distribution through implant and abutment composed of PEEK and its fiber-reinforced composites. Unfilled PEEK revealed low values of elastic modulus and strength that negatively affected the stress distribution through the abutment and implant towards to the bone tisues. The incorporation of 30% carbon fibers increased the elastic modulus and strength of the PEEK-matrix composites although some studies reported no statistic differences in stress magnitude when compared to unfilled PEEK. However, an increase in short carbon fibers up to 60% revealed an enhancement on the stress distribution through abutment and implants towards to the bone tissues. PEEK veneering onto titanium core structures can also be a strategy to control the stress distribution at the implant-to-bone interface. The stiffness and strength of PEEK-matrix composites can be increased by the improvement of the carbon fibers' network. Thus, the content, shape, dimensions, and chemical composition of fibers are key factors to improve the stress distribution through abutment and implants composed of PEEK-matrix composites.
本研究的目的是对由碳纤维增强聚醚醚酮复合材料制成的牙种植体或基台的有限元分析评估的应力分布进行综合系统评价。通过组合使用以下搜索词,在 PUBMED 和 ScienceDirect 上进行了电子搜索:PEEK、聚醚醚酮、FEA、FEM、有限元、应力、牙种植体和牙基台。研究结果报告了由 PEEK 及其纤维增强复合材料制成的种植体和基台的机械性能和应力分布。未填充的 PEEK 表现出低弹性模量和强度值,这对基台和种植体向骨组织传递的应力分布产生了负面影响。添加 30%的碳纤维增加了 PEEK 基体复合材料的弹性模量和强度,尽管一些研究报告称与未填充的 PEEK 相比,应力大小没有统计学差异。然而,短碳纤维增加到 60%,显示出对基台和种植体向骨组织传递的应力分布的增强。PEEK 覆盖在钛芯结构上也可以是控制种植体-骨界面处应力分布的一种策略。通过改善碳纤维网络,可以增加 PEEK 基体复合材料的刚度和强度。因此,纤维的含量、形状、尺寸和化学成分是改善由 PEEK 基体复合材料制成的基台和种植体的应力分布的关键因素。
