It is known that excessive stresses and/or strains can cause atrophy of the peri-implant bone, a phenomenon accentuated in the molar area. This research evaluates the influence of a dense dental implant on the stresses and strains that occur in upper jaws. The dental implant used in the study was designed to obtain an adequate stress and strain distribution along the periimplant cortical and trabecular bones. By means of the Finite Element Method, Using the Abaqus/CAE software, the biomechanical behavior of the systems formed by the dental implant, a ceramic crown and the cortical and trabecular bones was simulated. The stresses and strains in the area of the maxillary premolar, under static loads, in the retarded load condition were determined. As a result, the dental implant significantly reduced the stress and deformation levels of the peri-implant maxilla of quality II.
