Background: Stereolithography, which consists of computer-aided designed/computer-aided manufactured (CAD CAM) and computer simulations, is a manufacturing technologies used for the production of definitive models and prototypes printed in three dimensions, and is widely used in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Surgical proce dures using models...

Objectives: To evaluate the influence of bone type in terms of bone density and cortical bone thickness, on the stresses induced by two implants under compressive and oblique loads. Methods: A numerical simulation technique based on the finite element method was applied. Two implant types (M-12 and Astra Tech) were introduced in a model matrix...
