implant that can be surgically implanted into the jawbone to
restore a person's ability to chew. The dental implant system
consists of the crown, abutment, and implant body. The
implant body is a hollow tube which has an outer radius of 4
mm and inner radius of 3.5 mm. The radius of the crown and
abutment can be described by the function:
-0.625
2² + 4.5mm
mm
As a biomechanical engineer, you were asked to perform an
initial analysis regarding a reactive torque throughout the
implant body and possible angle of twist when the abutment
is installed. You searched research articles and publicly available data and found tightening the
abutment into the implant body will apply an external torque of 'T = 80 N cm to the implant body.
This external torque T will cause a reactive torque on the implant body, which can be expressed
by the equation of t = (kz2) N mm/mm, where z is in mm.
