Abstract: It is widely recognized that excessive stress and/or strain can lead to peri-implant bone atrophy; therefore, the clinical success of dental implants is intrinsically related to their biomechanical behavior. This study evaluates the influence of the diameter, length, and material [Ti6Al4V (α+β Ti) and Ti35Nb7Zr5Ta (β-Ti)] of a novel cylindrical dental implant on stress and strain levels within maxillary bone of type II quality. The implant design aims to ensure an appropriate distribution of stresses and strains within the peri-implant bone structures (cortical and trabecular bones) while also facilitating surgical machining by requiring a simple, linear, and less expensive bone incision. This approach minimizes the risk of thermal necrosis, a common complication in osteotomies for conical implants that can lead to peri-implant bone loss. Using finite element analysis, stress and strain patterns were evaluated in the maxillary second premolar region under static delayed loading. The results reveal that the cortical bone strains remained below the critical threshold (0.003) to prevent resorption. In the trabecular bone, only larger diameter/length configurations satisfied the previous strain criterion. In all simulations, trabecular bone stress remained below 3 MPa, whereas cortical bone stress peaked at 78 MPa. Notably, the implant model with the largest diameter/length minimized stress and strain concentrations in type II bone when compared to smaller designs, thereby demonstrating its biomechanical advantage.
