Abstract:
Dental implants are well known medical devices. Placing implants seem also well controlled. The latter is true as long as the bone of the jaw is large enough and has the right microstructure. The consideration of atypical cases requires the engineering of new implants and the analysis of their mechanical interaction with bone tissue. The constitutive modelling of the latter is imperative. Due to its complexity, we believe that a top-down phenomenological approach is appropriate. In this work, bone tissue is considered as a micropolar medium. Using a specific developed numerical tool, the work analyses the response of such material to external stimuli.
