description The design of the implant and osseointegration play an important role in the long-term stability of implants. This study aims to investigate the impact of porous implants on full and partial osseointegration in varying bone qualities. Finite element models of porous implants were modeled and assembled with normal and weak bones considering full and partial osseointegration. These assemblies were simulated under an occlusal load of 200 N when the outer surfaces of bones were fixed in all directions. The results showed that in the case of full osseointegration, the stresses in surrounding bones were increased with decreasing implant stiffness, while decreased in partial osseointegration. Moreover, the maximum octahedral shear strain in the weak bone exceeded 3000 µε in all the cases but decreased (from 7256 to 3632 µε) with decreasing implant stiffness. According to the mechanostat hypothesis, using porous implants in normal bone may enhance bone density in full osseointegration, while susceptivity of bone damage may reduce in weak bones using porous implants. Thus, careful selection of implant material and design based on the patient’s specific bone quality is crucial for successful outcomes.
