Abstract

Posterior tooth loss disrupts occlusal support, mandibular kinematics and elevates TMJ loading and TMD risk. Therefore, it is of interest to used 3D FEA and dynamic condylar analysis in 42 unilateral posterior edentulous patients across implant (n=15), RPD (n=14) and untreated (n=13) groups. Implant restoration reduced peak condylar cartilage stress 41.2% (18.7±4.1 to 11.0±2.6 MPa, p
