Abstract:
Dental implants are a popular dental treatment because they are like natural teeth,
blend well with the body's tissues, and help maintain the condition of adjacent tooth
roots. They also have a longer lifespan compared to dentures, with a low risk of failure or
complications. Another issue that can occur after implant placement is bone loss, which
is caused by forces such as chewing or bruxism. These forces result in varying levels of
bone strain distribution based on everyone’s pathology. This research consists of four
processes: 1) studying the Digital Image Correlation (Die) method to measure strain values
in dental implants, 2) comparison the strain values obtained from Die with the results of
experiments using strain gauge, 3) created a finite element model of dental implants and
compare with the Die method, and 4) comparison the realistic finite element model and
the finite element model, study strain distribution using the finite element method and
verifying the accuracy of the finite element model with the Digital Image Correlation (Die)
technique. The experiments were conducted using forces ranging from 300 to 1500
Newtons, and the results showed that the Die method accurately measured displacement
and strain values with an R2 (R-Square) value of 1. When comparison the displacement
and strain values of the finite element model and the Die method, it was found that they
were similar.
