Finite Element Analysis of Bone Stress around Micro-Implants of Different Diameters and Lengths with Application of a Single or Composite Torque Force.

<h4>Background</h4>Stress on the bone surrounding dental micro-implants affects implant success.<h4>Purpose</h4>To compare the stress on the bone surrounding a micro-implant after application of a single force (SF) of 200 g or a composite force (CF) of 200 g and 6 N.mm torque...
