A Finite Element Analysis of the Fatigue Behavior and Risk of Failure of Immediate Provisional Implants

Background: Temporary dental implants are used to support provisional prostheses. The goal of this study was to obtain the stress−number (S−N) curves of cycles of five temporary dental implants employing finite element methods. Additionally, a probabilistic analysis was carried o...
