Biomechanical Analysis of Angled Abutments in the Anterior Maxilla: Impact of Bone Quality and Loading Conditions Using Finite Element Analysis
Bone quality and loading type critically influenced stress distribution. The stresses were higher in the D3 and D4 bones under oblique loading. Bone D1 and D2 provided robust support, whereas bones D3 and D4 required enhanced implant designs or augmentation. The 15<i>°</i> angled abutment increased stress, necessitating careful prosthetic planning to ensure biomechanical stability and esthetic outcomes in anterior maxillary implant dentistry.
