This study aimed to evaluate the influence of material and crown design on the biomechanical behavior of implant-supported crowns with hybrid abutment (HA) through three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. The study factors were the type of material used as the mesostructure or crown (zirconia, lithium disilicate, and hybrid ceramic) and the crown design cemented to the titanium base (mesostructure cemented to the titanium base and a crown cemented on it (HaC); hybrid crown-abutment, the abutment and crown are manufactured as a single piece and cemented to the titanium base (HC); monolithic crown cemented on the titanium base and screwed to the implant (CS); and monolithic crown cemented on the titanium base (CC). Four 3D models were constructed using an implant with an internal connection, and an oblique load of 130 N was applied at 45° to the long axis of the implant. The models were evaluated using the von Mises stress for crown, abutment, screw, and implant and maximum principal stress for bone tissues. The lowest stresses occurred in the groups with a lower elastic modulus material, mainly hybrid ceramics, considered a material with greater resilience. The cemented crown group presented the lowest stress values. The stresses were concentrated in the cervical region of the crown at the titanium crown/base interface. Mesostructures made of materials with a higher elastic modulus exhibited a higher concentration of stress. The presence of a screw hole increased the stress concentration in the ceramic crown. Cemented ceramic crowns exhibited better biomechanical behavior than screw-retained crowns. |
