Effects of bone type and occlusal loading pattern on bone remodeling in implant-supported single crown: A finite element study.

A greater stress concentration and remodeling rate were found when an off-axial load applied on implant placed in low bone density. Although fastest remodeling process resulting in increased bone density and strength were found in D3 and D4 bone types with greater off-axial loading that may provide greater bone engagement, it could increase stress concentrations which are susceptible to inducing implant failure.
