ABSTRACT: Prosthetic implantation has been a
prevalent surgical procedure in dentistry. Insertion of dental implant
significantly changes local oral conditions and leads to the surrounding bone
to remodel to a new morphology. To predict how the bone responds such a
biomechanical change, finite element analysis (FEA) based remodeling simulation
has proven effective. For a range of mechanical stimuli, which should be used
remains controversial arguable? This paper aims to compare how the different
mechanical stimuli, including mechostat model (effective strain), daily stress
and strain energy density (SED) affect the predictions of bone remodeling.
