Description
Summary:Abstract Background This study compares the residual stress distribution and stress-release deformation of root-analogue implants (RAIs) and traditional threaded cylindrical implants to assess their clinical applicability and optimization. Methods Three implant types (solid RAIs, mesh RAIs, and traditional threaded implants) were analyzed using contour cutting and finite element analysis to evaluate stress distribution and deformation trends after stress release. Results RAIs exhibited lower tensile and compressive stresses than threaded implants (T1: 26 MPa vs. 48 MPa, T2: 18 MPa vs. 74 MPa), but showed greater displacement (T1: 0.02 mm, T2: 0.012 mm, T3: 0.0025 mm), mainly in the apical region. Conclusions RAIs offer advantages in stress distribution but require further optimization to address deformation. Future research should focus on improving material selection and manufacturing processes to enhance implant stability and long-term success. Clinical trial number Not applicable.
