Finite Element Analysis of Dental Implant Surgical Guides on Fluent
Keywords:
Surgical Guides, Dental Implants, Fluent, Streamlines, Thermal Necrosis.Abstract
The main goal of this paper is to present the fluid flow analysis of different designs of surgical guides used for dental implant surgery. By taking into consideration the drawbacks of standard dental drill guides available in the market i.e. rise in bone temperature while drilling, a new drill guide has been designed. Fluent module of finite element methods (Ansys) is used to perform this analysis. Flow of irrigant during drilling is compared using two different drill guide designs. Results of this study show that, with the use of new design of drill guides irrigant flow is better, which will further results in better heat dissipation and lower bone temperature.
