Abstract

PURPOSE: The present study evaluated the displacement and strain generated in an implant- supported fixed prosthesis under axial and non-axial loads using two methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three implants were inserted in a resin block. The Digital Image Correlation (DIC) was used to measure displacement and strain generated on the surface of the resin blocks for the different load applications (500N, 1 image/second). A 3-dimensional model was constructed and a load of 500 N was applied at an axial point and a non-axial point through
