<p>A fundamental pre-requisite for the clinical success in dental implant surgery is the fast and stable implant osseointegration. The press-fit phenomenon occurring at implant insertion induces biomechanical effects in the bone tissues, which ensure implant primary stability. In the field of dental surgery, the understanding of the key factors governing the osseointegration process still remains of utmost importance. A thorough analysis of the biomechanics of dental implantology requires a detailed knowledge of bone mechanical properties as well as an accurate definition of the jaw bone geometry.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Methods</title>
<p>In this work, a CT image-based approach, combined with the Finite Element Method (FEM), has been used to investigate the effect of the drill size on the biomechanics of the dental implant technique. A very accurate model of the human mandible bone segment has been created by processing high resolution micro-CT image data. The press-fit phenomenon has been simulated by FE analyses for different common drill diameters (D<sub>A</sub>
= 2.8 mm, D<sub>B</sub>
= 3.3 mm, and D<sub>C</sub>
= 3.8 mm) with depth L = 12 mm. A virtual implant model has been assumed with a cylindrical geometry having height L = 11 mm and diameter D = 4 mm.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Results</title>
<p>The maximum stresses calculated for drill diameters D<sub>A</sub>
, D<sub>B</sub>
and D<sub>C</sub>
have been 12.31 GPa, 7.74 GPa and 4.52 GPa, respectively. High strain values have been measured in the cortical area for the models of diameters D<sub>A</sub>
and D<sub>B</sub>
, while a uniform distribution has been observed for the model of diameter D<sub>C</sub>
. The maximum logarithmic strains, calculated in nonlinear analyses, have been ϵ = 2.46, 0.51 and 0.49 for the three models, respectively.</p>
</sec>
<sec><title>Conclusions</title>
<p>This study introduces a very powerful, accurate and non-destructive methodology for investigating the effect of the drill size on the biomechanics of the dental implant technique.</p>
<p>Further studies could aim at understanding how different drill shapes can determine the optimal press-fit condition with an equally distributed preload on both the cortical and trabecular structure around the implant.</p>

<body><sec><title>Background</title>
<p>The use of dental implants has rapidly evolved since the advent of osseointegration, progressively replacing removable dentures in treatment of partially or completely edentulous patients. A fundamental pre-requisite for the clinical success in dental implant surgery is the fast and stable implant osseointegration.</p>
<p>The press-fit technique, which is adopted to ensure a primary stability condition for endosseous implants, requires the diameter of the hole drilled within the jaw bone to be smaller than the implant major diameter. The bone tissues are affected by a biomechanical phenomenon, which is characterised by the mechanical properties of bone, implant materials, difference between implant and hole diameters and surrounding bone morphology.</p>
<p>Recently, image-based approaches combined with Finite Element Analyses (FEA) have allowed effective stress–strain investigations in dental implantology. Dental implants can be virtually positioned within realistic models of human jaws reproduced from high definition CT image data with respect of the anatomical-physiological structures of bones. Worldwide, scientists have focused on this topic, especially to improve the success of endosseous implants [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>
-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>
]. A common goal is to understand the key factors of osseointegration processes following implant surgeries. Some researchers have investigated micro-displacements occurring at the bone-implant interface, while others studies have considered the load transfer at the interface to be more important in determining the correct mechanical stimulation of the osteoblasts, which are assumed to be responsible for bone tissue regeneration and the consequent osseointegration of the implant [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>
]. Generally, trabecular microstructures of bones are modelled as homogeneous entities with particular mechanical properties and contiguity assumed at implant-bone interfaces. The contiguity conditions do not allow relative motions between the parts generating a continuum of stress distribution at the interface, where stresses are generally concentrated. Limbert [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref>
] has considered the trabecular microstructure of the mandible bone and the discontinuity at the implant-bone interface by a Finite Element Analysis. Further studies investigate the preload condition generated by the insertion of the abutment screw in the implant for different designs of the screw-abutment system [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>
]. Nowadays, the selection of drill diameter with respect to the implant geometrical configuration is still done without any scientifically tested criteria. Natali [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref>
] has analysed the press-fit phenomenon occurring in oral implantology using the FE approach. In this study, the mandibular bone has been reconstructed by using CT data and attributing different mechanical properties in the cortical and trabecular regions.</p>
<p>However, a more detailed study should also consider the trabecular microstructure of real bone tissue and the contacts associated to the relative movement between implant and bone.</p>
<p>In this paper, an accurate model of human mandible bone segment is created processing high resolution micro-CT data by using image-based tools. The biomechanics of press-fit phenomena has been analysed by FE methods for different drill diameters.</p>

<p>In this paper, edentulous bone segments of the right molar mandibular area have been acquired using a high resolution microtomography machine, the SkyScan micro-CT (SKYSCAN, Kartuizersweg, Kontich, Belgium). The sliced images have been generated with an isotropic resolution of 35 μm. Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>
shows the computed tomography images of two bone slices.</p>

</fig>
<p>The images from the micro CT have been processed to obtain the 3D models of the bone segments using the software ScanIP (Simpleware Ltd., Innovation Centre, Rennes Drive, Exeter, United Kingdom). 2D slice images have been processed by a methodology articulated in two main steps: segmentation and voxel creation. Initially, data have been converted to grey scale images. The region of interest has been isolated by thresholding the images and flood filling the masked area to avoid disconnected zones. The flood filling algorithm is based on a region-growing algorithm also known as <italic>paint bucket</italic>
. The obtained segmented slices have been combined to produce isotropic voxels. The generated model is shown in Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>
. The use of high resolution micro-CT data has allowed a detailed description of the trabecular bone microstructures with a voxel size of 130 μm.</p>

<p>The drill has been modelled assuming a cylindrical shape with different diameter values: D<sub>A</sub>
= 2.8 mm, D<sub>B</sub>
= 3.3 mm, and D<sub>C</sub>
= 3.8 mm and length L = 12 mm. The virtual implant model has been assumed with a cylindrical geometry having height L = 11 mm and diameter D = 4 mm. The drill models have been positioned into the bone model throughout the use of ScanCAD (Simpleware Ltd., Innovation Centre, Rennes Drive, Exeter, United Kingdom), which allows the placement to be driven by the corresponding 3D grey-scale micro-CT images and taking into account the bone structure (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref>

<p>The edentulous drilled bone has been automatically meshed using the software ScanFE (Simpleware Ltd., Innovation Centre, Rennes Drive, Exeter, United Kingdom). The meshing process has been carried out using EVoMaCs approach [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>
], providing meshes of approximately 3 million elements (eight-node brick elements and four-node tetrahedral elements) and 900,000 nodes. The numerical analyses have been carried out by using the Comsol Multiphysics Analysis simulation software. The high 3D model accuracy has provided meshes free of any relevant volume/topology data loss.</p>
<p>The bone tissue has been modelled using an isotropic linear elastic material (Young’s modulus E = 15 GPa, Poisson’s ratio ν = 0.3 and density ρ = 731 mg/cm<sup>3</sup>
) as proposed in literature [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>
]. The implant, typically made of Titanium (E = 115 GPa), has been modelled as a rigid body considering the huge difference between the bone and implant Young’s modulus and the effective reduction of the simulation computational cost.</p>
<p>The bone behaviour induced by inserting an implant with a major diameter into a smaller hole has been simulated using a contact algorithm (<italic>Interference Fit</italic>
) based on the relative geometries, the material properties and the contact parameters. The assembly created after the implant positioning generates a volumetric overlapping between implant and bone shapes.</p>
<p>The contact constraint, imposed at each constraint location (bone-implant interface) to avoid overlapping zones, can be considered as the current penetration (h). Penetration exists when h is positive (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">5</xref>
). This constraint can be updated by specifying an allowable interference (v), which is ramped down over the course of a step. The specified allowable interference modifies the contact constraint as h - v = 0.</p>

<graphic xlink:href="1746-160X-8-18-5"></graphic>
</fig>
<p>The contact interaction property has been defined by a contact in the normal direction of the interaction (no penetration is allowed between the surfaces) and a <italic>friction coefficient</italic>
μ = 0.2 in the tangential direction.</p>
<p>The lateral sides of the bone segment have been constrained in order to simulate symmetry conditions. The simulations have been run using Comsol Multiphysics Analysis and the Static step option. The static analysis approach has been used to analyse the stresses generated by the bone tissue stabilization following the press-fit phenomenon.</p>

<sec><title>Results and discussion</title>
<p>The finite element analysis has been conducted for the three different drill diameter values. Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">6</xref>
show the Von Mises stress distributions from a top view for models A, B and C, respectively. In Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F7">7</xref>
and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">8</xref>
, the Von Mises stresses are presented along the bucco-lingual and mesio-distal planes. In models A and B, the press-fit phenomenon is almost completely supported by the cortical structure, though the implant is in contact with both the cortical and the trabecular bone. The stresses on the trabecular zone are minimal compared to those characterising the cortical area. In model C the stresses are equally distributed across the cortical and trabecular structure reducing the generation of critical and localised loads. A uniform stress distribution, as reported in model C, is the optimal condition for the osseointegration process allowing a distribution of bone cell stimulation all around the implant. High stress concentrations could determine bone cell necrosis or lack of homogeneous osteoblast stimulation, which are both possible causes of implant destabilisation. The maximum stresses in models A, B and C are 12.31 GPa, 7.74 GPa and 4.52 GPa, respectively.</p>

<p>According to the stress distribution, high strain values are measured in the cortical area for the models A and B, and a uniform distribution is observed in model C. The maximum logarithmic strains, calculated in nonlinear analyses, are ϵ = 2.46, 0.51 and 0.49 for models A, B and C, respectively. The logarithmic strain distributions are presented in Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F9">9</xref>

<p>The press-fit phenomenon indicates a mechanical connection of two structures based on contact pressure. However, a more appropriate definition, “interference-fit”, could be used considering that each component mutually interferes to generate the deformation.</p>
<p>Generally, the actual viscoelastic behaviour of the bone tissue imply that the elastic recoil of bones decreases over time. The bone deformation and the elastic recoil depend on the density of bone tissue, and the cortical bone has a less viscoelastic behaviour than cancellous bone [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>
]. The results obtained in the present work demonstrate that the cortical bone is stressed and deformed significantly, even with moderate values of interference-fit. Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">6</xref>
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F7">7</xref>
and <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">8</xref>
show higher von Mises values in the juxtacortical areas than in the bone marrow.</p>
<p>A viscoelastic behaviour also depends on the degree of initial elastic deformation of the bone when the press-fit is achieved. The “assembly strain” (i.e., the deformation of the bone tissue upon the introduction of the implant) has an effect on both the contact pressure between bone and implants (e.g. the initial press-fit) and the rate at which the press-fit is dissipated through deformation and elastic relaxation [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>
,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>
].</p>
<p>The results shown in Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F7">7</xref>
, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">8</xref>
, <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F9">9</xref>
indicate that the only press-fit value (pre-load) evenly distributing stresses caused by the bone-implant contact is generated with model C; whereas models A and B yield a uneven stress distributions. However, the stresses occurring in the model C may not yet be high enough to yield the necessary press-fit persisting in order to assure the primary stability. Once the initial press-fit is dissipated, the implant could move in the bone under load. This could suggest the use of an “undersized” approach that would only accentuate an elevated cortical bone-implant load using the techniques at our disposal.</p>
<p>The period between the initial press-fit and the healing or bone integration (intermediate period) is typically characterised by a relaxation of press-fit, which could be so fast to cause implant instability. The bone ingrowth, which leads to bone integration, is a very susceptible biophysical process, especially in the case of immediate loading of full arches where the absence of periodontal pressure receptors and the changes in the modulation of the trigeminal reflexes are no longer efficient.</p>
<p>The results of this study suggest the development of an alternative surgical procedure able to determine uniform stress and strain values between cortical and cancellous bone. This method should not be classified as a generic “interference-fit”, but as “differentiated interference-fit”.</p>
<p>A recent study [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>
] demonstrated that the undersized drilling technique, in addition to enhancing primary implant stability, might also achieve a translocation of bone particles. This biological phenomenon, comparable to the autologous bone graft, has a positive influence on the osteogenic response. However, this study shows that the difference between the implant diameter and the implant drill diameter is ∼ 0.6 mm corresponding approximately to model B.</p>
<p>According to the most recent studies focusing on primary stability [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>
] with an undersized approach [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>
], which is still equivalent to a press-fit of model B of this study, the occlusal load should also be considered, besides the obvious biophysical properties of the cortical bone and marrow. This does not correspond to a constant static and axial force, but to a dynamic, angular moment and extra-axial force with six degrees of freedom.</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="conclusions"><title>Conclusions</title>
<p>This study introduces a powerful, accurate and non-destructive methodology for investigating the effect of the drill size on the biomechanics of the dental implant technique. Further studies could aim at understanding how different drill shapes can determine the optimal press-fit condition with an equally distributed pre-load on both the cortical and trabecular structure around the implant.</p>
