Lateral stress distribution analysis on hafnium metal bar for implant superstructure- A finite element analysis
Bar material significantly affects lateral stress distribution in implant-supported prostheses. Hafnium displayed biomechanical behavior comparable to titanium, indicating its promise as a potential alternative framework material. Further in vitro and clinical validation is warranted.
