Finite Element Analysis (FEA) & Research Support for Dental Implant and Prosthetic Studies

Engineering support for theses, journal articles, R&D projects and device validation in dentistry: finite element analysis (FEA / FEM), 3D CBCT processing, registration and deviation analysis, design verification and publication-ready figures.

What is included (scoped in a brief before starting): - Finite element modelling: anatomy segmentation, meshing, material assignment (cortical / cancellous bone, implant, abutment, framework, prosthetic material), bite and muscle loads, boundary conditions - Comparative scenarios: implant number, position and angulation, zygomatic / pterygoid / subperiosteal support strategies, framework materials, monolithic vs layered restorations, screw and connection designs - Outputs: von Mises, max / min principal stress and strain maps, displacement, tables and colour figures prepared for the manuscript - Registration studies: pre-op / post-op DICOM and STL superimposition, planned vs placed implant deviation (coronal, apical, angular), accuracy comparison between guide production technologies - Design verification and pre-clinical validation for new implant or device concepts, including patent application support - Method section drafting support, raw data and figure packages delivered separately on request

Who we work with: PhD and specialty students, academics and clinicians preparing publications, dental device companies and R&D project teams.

Track record: 20+ years of FEA / CAD experience, 500+ completed support studies, 30+ publication contributions including peer-reviewed FEA papers on full arch, zygomatic and pterygoid implant strategies, and technical support for a US Tylman Research Award winning guide accuracy study.

What we need from you: research question and hypothesis, CBCT / CT data or CAD models, implant and material specifications, expected outputs and deadline.

Starting price covers a single FEA model with two loading scenarios and a results report; multi-scenario studies, registration analyses and full manuscript support are quoted after the brief.
