Additional information
A stimulator to apply defined mechanical stimuli to dental implants in vivo was developed, based on load values obtained using a two-dimensional finite element analysis of the bone/implant interface operated at 30 and 3 Hz. The aim of this device was enhance rapid integration of dental implants. The device was tested in a cadaveric pig mandible, and periosteal bone surface strains were recorded and compared with a three-dimensional finite element model the impact of this study is that a loading devices can be used to optimise the interfacial strains leading to greater bone integration of dental implants.
