von Mises stresses were obtained from the analysis, allowing the
consideration of maximum compressive and tensile stresses, as
bone behaviour under tension and compression is essentially different.
Fig. 9 shows points distributed along the implant-bone
interface at a cervical, bucco-lingual and a mesio-distal section
used to plot the von Mises stresses variation. Along the paths
shown in the same figure, graphics were generated to make comparisons
between both implant system geometries, displaying
maximum and minimum von Mises stresses for both models under
vertical and horizontal loads
