Popis: Strain gauges were used to record in vivo and in vitro functional deformations in a fixed prosthetic appliance supported and retained by osseointegrated titanium implants. Four linear gauges were attached to each of totally 5 implant abutment cylinders and gauge signals were transferred into a computer via a digital converter. A computer program (ASYST) was used for collection, calibration and analysis of data obtained. Based on the results of a series of explorative in vitro tests, in vivo experiments were performed at maximum biting as well as during chewing on certain normally available food items. The results show fundamental differences between in vitro and in vivo testing conditions. Unexpectedly high bending of the implants was recorded in many of the in vivo loading situations.
