Abstract: Objective: To investigate the effect of stress state on bone osteocytes around dental implants using finite element analysis and animal experiment. Methods: The designed implants including full-thread and delete-thread implant were placed in proximal tibial metaphysis of rabbits. The animals were sacrificed at 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, and 60 days after surgery, and undecalcified tissue sections were prepared for SEM. The finite element models of implants and tibia metaphysis were installed and the process of implantation was simulated by computer-aided design software. The von Mises stress in peri-implant bone were recorded and analyzed. Results: The surrounding bone within 0.75 mm from surface of implant in full-thread implant group exhibited higher von Mises stress than delete-thread implant. The SEM images indicated that the number and morphological of osteocytes between two groups of implants at 7 days and 14 days were significantly different. Conclusion: The FEA can simulate the stress distribution on peri-implant bone in the initial state after implantation. The biological activity of osteocyte may be closely related to the stress state, which demonstrated a better response to stress stimuli in early stage of osseointegration and changes of number and morphology of osteocyte.
