Popis: Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) has been used by several investigators to assess the boundary conditions of dental implants. The goal of the current study was to determine the vibrating behavior of a dental implant under various surrounding bone conditions. A 3D finite element (FE) model of a cylinder-type titanium implant was developed. In this model, the implant was embedded into a cubic section of bone. The model was first validated using a series of modal testing experiments. The effects of bony conditions on the resonance frequencies of the implant were computed with different bone types and bone densities. Our results show that the resonance frequency of the implant with type III surrounding bone decreased linearly (r=−0.996, P
