This book shows computational finite element simulations to analyse the strength of implant
anchorage for intrasinus and extramaxillary approaches under various occlusal loading locations
and directions. Three-dimensional model of the craniofacial area surrounding the region of
interest soft tissue and framework are developed using computed tomography image datasets. The
zygomatic and standard dental implants are modeled using a conventional computer-aided design
software and placed at the appropriate location. Material properties are assigned appropriately
for the cortical cancellous bones and implants with Masseter forces applied at the zygomatic
arch and occlusal loadings applied on the framework surface.
