Abstract
Objective: To assess and compare bone stress associated with various miniplates and mini-implant systems by using finite element analysis.
Materials and Methods: Bone stress associated with various miniplate and mini-implant systems were compared and assessed by using finite element analysis and taking into account a number of variables, which play an important role in the success, and failure of such TAD systems.
Results: Peak von Mises stresses in cortical and cancellous bones for Miniplate Base Model are 18.43 MPa and 1.735 MPa respectively and for Mini-Implant Base Model are 1.621 Mpa and 0.2645 MPa respectively.
Conclusion: Bone stress due to miniplate is more compared to mini-implant. Bone stress decreases with increased cortical thickness, increases with increased force magnitude. Highest bone stress is due to I-type followed by L-type, Y-type and T-type miniplate. Increased miniplate fixation screw length for miniplate or mini-implant length doesn't have significant effect on bone stress. Bone stress decreases as mini-implant diameter increases.
