Abstract

Background and Objective: Endodontic implants, or didontic implants, offer a promising solution for stabilising periodontally compromised teeth and prolonging their survival. Despite their potential benefits, existing endodontic implants face challenges such as material limitations and occasional failures. Novel designs and materials present an opportunity to overcome these challenges and enhance the clinical efficacy of endodontic implants. Materials and Methodology: This study employs Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to assess the stress distribution of novel endodontic implants in maxillary anterior teeth. The design and material properties of the implants are carefully selected to enhance mechanical performance. The novel design of endodontic implant was placed under various loading conditions, involving two different clinical presentations of central incisor as compared to an intact tooth for comparison of stress distribution. Results: The FEA analysis revealed favourable stress distribution that was comparable to that seen in an intact tooth. These studies can be used to fabricate future systems of endodontic implants that are biocompatible. Conclusion: By leveraging advanced design principles and materials, these implants offer a promising alternative to traditional approaches, such as tooth extraction. Further clinical studies are warranted to validate the efficacy and long-term success of these novel endodontic implants in diverse patient populations.
