Mechanical analysis of prosthetic bars and dental implants in 3 and 4 implant-supported overdenture protocols using finite element analysis

In some clinical situations, the installation of four or more dental implants may be infeasible. Therefore, the installation of protocol-type prostheses with only three implants may be necessary. The mechanical failures can hinder the success of the rehabilitation treatment. Objective: To evaluate a...
