Abstract
The aim of this review article is to evaluate the distribution of the stress in and around the implant. The implants used are short implants with either splinted or non-splinted and are fixed in the mandible or maxilla. This study majorly focuses on in-vivo and in-vitro study. An intense literature review was done of many review and research articles comparing the effect and success rate of splinted and non-splinted dental implants with varying crown-to-implant ratios. Short implants of 6mm length and 4.5 mm diameter were studied based on application and FEA analysis examination for different loading conditions carried out in various research articles. The crown-to-implant height doesn’t affect much while loading axially but the generated displacement and stress concentration factor when obliquely loaded. The splinted and non-splinted have their own set of limitations, although research suggests that splinted restorations have less technical concerns..
