Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of implant crown splinting and the use of angulated abutment on stress distribution in implant body and surrounding bone by three-dimensional finite element analysis.
For this study, three models with two implants at the site of mandibular right second premolar and first molar were designed (1): Both implants, parallel to adjacent teeth, with straight abutments (2): Anterior implant with 15 mesial angulations and posterior implant were placed parallel to adjacent tooth, (3): Both implants with 15 mesial angulations and parallel to each other with 15° angulated abutments. Restorations were modeled in two shapes (splinted and nonsplinted). Loading in tripod manner as each point 50 N and totally 300 N was applied. Stress distribution in relation to splinting or nonsplinting restorations and angulations was done with ABAQUS6.13.
Splinting the restorations in all situations, led to lower stresses in all implant bodies, cortical bone and spongy bone except for the spongy bone around angulated first molar. Angulated implant in nonsplinted restoration cause lower stresses in implant body and bone but in splinted models more stresses were seen in implant body in comparison with straight abutment (model 2). Stresses in nonsplinted and splinted restorations in cortical bone of angulated molar region were more than what was observed in straight molar implant (model 3).
Implant restorations splinting lead to a better distribution of stresses in implant bodies and bone in comparison with nonsplinted restorations, especially when the load is applied off center to implant body. Angulations of implant can reduce stresses when the application of the load is in the same direction as the implant angulation.

<p>The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of implant crown splinting and the use of angulated abutment on stress distribution in implant body and surrounding bone by three-dimensional finite element analysis.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="st2"><title>Materials and Methods:</title>
<p>For this study, three models with two implants at the site of mandibular right second premolar and first molar were designed (1): Both implants, parallel to adjacent teeth, with straight abutments (2): Anterior implant with 15 mesial angulations and posterior implant were placed parallel to adjacent tooth, (3): Both implants with 15 mesial angulations and parallel to each other with 15° angulated abutments. Restorations were modeled in two shapes (splinted and nonsplinted). Loading in tripod manner as each point 50 N and totally 300 N was applied. Stress distribution in relation to splinting or nonsplinting restorations and angulations was done with ABAQUS6.13.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="st3"><title>Results:</title>
<p>Splinting the restorations in all situations, led to lower stresses in all implant bodies, cortical bone and spongy bone except for the spongy bone around angulated first molar. Angulated implant in nonsplinted restoration cause lower stresses in implant body and bone but in splinted models more stresses were seen in implant body in comparison with straight abutment (model 2). Stresses in nonsplinted and splinted restorations in cortical bone of angulated molar region were more than what was observed in straight molar implant (model 3).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="st4"><title>Conclusion:</title>
<p>Implant restorations splinting lead to a better distribution of stresses in implant bodies and bone in comparison with nonsplinted restorations, especially when the load is applied off center to implant body. Angulations of implant can reduce stresses when the application of the load is in the same direction as the implant angulation.</p>

<p>Implant support prosthesis has become a routine dental treatment. To achieve the best outcome, careful consideration of technical and biomechanical parameters, is essential.[<xref rid="ref1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
]</p>
<p>The aims of splinting implant restorations are to the better distribution of applied forces to the implants, to reduce the transfer of nonaxial load to the bone-implant interface and to maximize the bone surface area. The resistant and retentive forms of implant restorations are other causes of restorations splinting.[<xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
]</p>
<p>There are a few human clinical studies to confirm that implant restoration splinting has a better long-term effect than nonsplinting.[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
] Guichet <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
] in a photo elastic study reported that splinted restorations lead to more constant distribution of stress between the implants when nonaxial forces are applied to restorations. Wang <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
] in a three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA) showed that the splinting of adjacent implant restoration together results in less peri-implant stress when horizontal forces were applied to the poor quality bone.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Naert <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
] in a prospective clinical study investigated the result of implant restorations splinting in the treatment of partial edentulism. They reported that there was no significant difference in hazard rate between single implant crowns and splinted implant restorations. In another clinical study, the same group of authors found that marginal bone loss around splinted and nonsplinted implant restoration had no difference in partially edentulous patients.[<xref rid="ref6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
] In regard to controversies in the effect of implant restoration splinting, more studies seem to be needed. However, implants restoring as independent units haves many advantages, such as good interproximal hygiene and ability to replace or repair porcelain fracture or chipping.[<xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
]</p>
<p>In an ideal situation, in order to achieve the best stress distribution, implants must be inserted parallel to each other and to the adjacent teeth[<xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
<xref rid="ref8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
] but such condition does not always exist[<xref rid="ref8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
<xref rid="ref9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
] for example residual ridge resorption can lead to the proximity of anatomical structures to implant placement location.[<xref rid="ref10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
<xref rid="ref11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
] In this situation, implants may be inserted into angulations with each other or the adjacent teeth. So, clinicians have to use angulated abutments to overcome this problem.[<xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>

<p>In several studies, it has been showed that the use of angled abutments leads to more stress on the implant and surrounding bone.[<xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>

[<xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>

[<xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
] in an FEA study compared single straight implants with 45° angulated implants. In their study, stresses in the bone increased with implant angle inclination.</p>
<p>Although some studies have shown that angulated abutments did not have a determinable adverse effect on clinical success rates.[<xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>

] Sethi <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
] performed a 5 years prospective study and found that angulated abutments may be used without any influence on the long-term implant survival. Martini <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
] in evaluating the influence of Loading on Bone Stress by three-dimensional (3D) FEA concluded that implants with straight abutments generated the highest stress values in bone in comparison with angulated abutments.</p>
<p>The findings from Satoh <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
] showed that mesial tilting (10–20°) of implants to maintain them in a position perpendicular to the anteroposterior curve, does not lead to increased stress in the bone.</p>
<p>Due to the controversies in the use of the splinting of single implant supported restorations and the influence of angulated abutments on induced stress in the implants and bones, this study is designed to evaluate the effect of implant splinting and angulations on stress magnitudes in implants and surrounded bones.</p>

<sec sec-type="materials|methods" id="sec1-2"><title>MATERIALS AND METHODS</title>
<p>In this study, in edentulous region of right second premolar and first molar a dentate prefabricated mandibular model, two fixture analogs (Biohoraizons Internal, Implant system Inc., Birmingham, Al, USA) 4, 10.5 mm, with 4.5 mm diameter abutment platform with 3 mm distance to each other were embedded parallel to each other by dental surveyor.</p>
<p>The 3D geometry of the model, fixture, a straight abutment and a 15° angulated abutment (6 mm height, Biohoraizons) were scanned and digitized using scanning technology (SolutionixRexcan III).</p>
<p>Abutments were fastened to fixtures analogs on the model and then a Ni-Cr (Verabound-II, AalbaDent, Inc., CA, USA) casting coping in 0.5 mm thickness was fabricated. The coping was scanned. Porcelain (VITA Zahnfabrik, Bad Sackingen, Germany) veneering was applied to a standard method with 1 mm thickness and then was scanned. The whole system and components were scanned using Atos II (triple scan) scanning technology (GOM mbH, Braunschweig, Germany) and Atos reviewer v 6.3 software (GOM, Germany). Computer modeling was done in the manner of dense points cloud using of CATIA modeling software (V5R20, BM, Kingstone, NY, USA).</p>
<p>In modeling, the cortical bone thickness was reproduced in 2 mm layer and spongy bone was defined at its center. Implants were considered totally osseointegrated. Other contacts existing between the elements were also assumed to be perfect. The geometries were then meshed by tetrahedral linear elements.</p>
<p>Three-dimensional finite element models were simulated in these manners:</p>

<sec sec-type="discussion" id="sec1-4"><title>DISCUSSION</title>
<p>A dental implant serves to accept the physiologic loads or forces into the surrounding tissues. The resultant force per unit area can lead to remodeling of bone. Therefore, the manner in which implants distribute stress in interfacial tissues is an important factor. Analyzing force transfer at the bone-implant interface is an essential step, which determines the success or failure of an implant. Overload can cause bone resorption or fatigue failure of the implant.[<xref rid="ref25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
]</p>
<p>Splinting of adjacent implants is recommended to reduce the transfer of horizontal forces to the bone, for the better distribution of stress in bone and prevention of screw loosening in abutments. The increase of retention and resistance are other reasons for splinting the restorations.[<xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
] The transference of the occlusal forces to the bone implant interface is an important factor in the implant treatment successfulness.[<xref rid="ref26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
] However, some studies have indicated that splinting has no adverse effect on the long-term success of implant restorations. Naert <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
] reported no significant increasing hazard rate for single crowns in comparison with splinted fix prosthesis in a 16 years clinical follow-up. In another clinical study, Naert <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
] reported, that the amount of marginal bone loss around single and splinted implant restorations was equal. In a meta-analysis of patients who were treated with fixed partial dentures and single unit implant restorations, there was no significant difference in survival rate between them.[<xref rid="ref27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>
]</p>
<p>In this study, the splinting of the restorations in all positions, led to lower stress in all implant bodies, cortical bone, and spongy bone except for the spongy bone around angulated first molar. These results indicate that splinting is beneficial to reduce stress in implant body and cortical bone, especially when the load is applied off-center to implant body. In this study, three-point loadings were applied to the central fossa of the first molar and distal fossa of the second premolar as is observed in a healthy dentition. Although the applied loads were vertical, the suffering area in the premolar was off center to the implant body and therefore resulted in cantilever load on the premolar in comparison with the first molar in which the loads were applied exactly along the center of the implant body. So it can be said that the load application site is an important factor. The off-center loading on premolar produced more stress in second premolar than in the molar region.</p>
<p>Splinting reduced the stress in premolar more than it did in the molar region. This may be due to the fact that splinting has led to the reduction of cantilever forces on the implant and bone around the premolar site.</p>
<p>The reduction of stress magnitude observed in this study is in agreement with the findings of Guichet <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
] They reported when eccentric forces were applied to implant restorations, splinting helped the more even stress distribution among the implants.</p>
<p>The results of this study are also similar to the findings of Wang <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
] in evaluating the effect of splinting in stress distribution in poor quality bone, as they concluded splinting was effective in reducing stress in the bone.</p>
<p>The angulation of the implant is one of the most important factors in the management of the stress peri-implants structures. The behavior of bone in the peri-implant region is closely related to the direction, magnitude and concentration of stresses transmitted to the implant.[<xref rid="ref28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
]</p>
<p>Angulated abutments are used in some clinical situations, such as nonparallel implant. Some implants due to bone deficiency or fault of surgery may be inserted in angulations to adjacent implant or tooth.[<xref rid="ref8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
<xref rid="ref9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
] In order to correct this condition, angulated abutments have been introduced.[<xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
<xref rid="ref8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
<xref rid="ref9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
<xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
<xref rid="ref13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
]</p>
<p>In some studies, the use of angulated abutment led to more stress in the supportive crestal bone of the implant. Clellend <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
] in an FEA study reported more stress and strain while increasing angulations of the abutment was observed. Lin <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
] found that by increasing the abutment angulations, the amount of strain in implant and cortical bone could be higher.</p>
<p>According to Geng, <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
] several FEA studies of osseointegrated implants demonstrated that maximum stress concentration is located at the cortical bone crest. In cortical bone, stress dissipation is restricted to the immediate surroundings of the implant, whereas in the trabecular bone a fairly broader distant stress distribution occurs.</p>
<p>In the present study, the use of angulated abutments in premolar site resulted in lower stress in the cortical bone and implant body of nonsplinted restoration which is similar to the findings of Tian <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref29" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>
] FEA study. They found that angulated abutment results in less amount of stress on implant supporting bone. Sethi <italic>et al.</italic>
[<xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
] in a 5 years a prospective case study on 2261 implants, found that angulated abutments may be used with no influence on long-term survival rate.</p>
<p>In this study, the angulation of premolar implant was toward the mesial and the load was applied to the distal fossa. So, the angulations of the implant may lead to the reduction of the cantilever stress in comparison with a straight implant.</p>
<p>In comparison with straight implants, the amount of stress increased in the premolar angulated implant body and the bone around it in splinted restorations. This may be due to the effect of the direction of angulations. So, the proximity of the premolar implant apex to the molar implant led to more transferred stresses to the premolar implant and the bone around it.</p>
<p>When both implants and abutment were angulated, the amount of stress in nonsplinted restorations was more in implant body, cortical bone and spongy bone than in the splinted model. In nonsplinted restorations, molar implant body experienced less stress while in the cortical bone more stress was compared to the splinted model. Because of the angulation of the molar implant, the applying loads on central fossa induced less stress in implant body and forces were distributed in the cortical bone in comparison with a straight molar implant.</p>
<p>Almost in all positions, stress in the cortical bone around the molar implant was lower than in the premolar site. This may be due to the location of load application and also the size of the molar crown. The bigger surface area receiving the force in the molar crown in comparison to the premolar crown with similar force could lead to force distribution in a larger area. So the molar implant receives less force.</p>
