Abstract

Introduction Dental implants are widely used for oral rehabilitation of edentulous patients [1]. Besides the obvious advantages, dental implants have certain shortcomings, making them a constant research subject. Obtaining implants that reduce force transfer from the superstructure to the surrounding bone has been a permanent subject of interest for researchers, leading to numerous studies and patents (US5425639A—Dental implant with shock absorbent cushioned interface 1994; US20090208904A1—Dental implant 2009; WO2015066438A1—Double-cushioned dental implant 2015). Stress breakers/relievers in the implant would greatly benefit the surrounding bone by decreasing the micro fractures due to overloading and the consecutive bacterial infiltration, decreasing bone loss, especially in the oral cavity. The most common test used to evaluate dental implant mechanical properties (static and dynamic) is ISO 14801, dynamic loading test for endosseous dental implants.
