Is bone density or implant design more important in implant stress formation in patients with bruxism?

The aim of this study was to compare the stresses on cylindrical and conical dental implants under heavy bruxing forces, in D1 and D4 bone densities, using three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). Eight different stress models were created according to implant design (cylindrical or conical)...
