Numerical simulation of <it>in vivo </it>intraosseous torsional failure of a hollow-screw oral implant

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Owing to the complexity and magnitude of functional forces transferred to the bone-implant interface, the mechanical strength of the interface is of great importance. The purpose of this study was to determine the intraosseous torsio...
