Finite Element Analysis of the Load-Bearing Components of a Stackable Surgical Guide System During Flapless Implant Osteotomy in a Fully Edentulous Maxilla
Highlights Finite element evaluation of a stackable surgical guide assembly for a fully eden-tulous maxilla. Under the maximum simulated drilling load, calculated stresses remained below the selected reference strengths in both contact scenarios. The polymeric guides exhibited substantially greater relative material ut...
