A three-dimensional finite element model was used to investigate the biomechanical response of a porous rooted Co-Cr-Mo alloy implant. The load displacement responses calculated from the finite element model were verified with experimentally-determined values for three-cylindrical, porous rooted Co-Cr-Mo alloy dental implants retrieved from canines after two years in function. Models were developed based on histological analyses of tissue surrounding the implants. The results of the study indicate that the assumption of a direct bone-to-implant interface (i.e., an ankylosed implant) may not be a good representation for a porous rooted implant retained by bone ingrowth.
