This study using 3D-finite element analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of bone resorption on the stress distribution generated by a static load on overdentures in cases of bone loss around implants and at the distal ridge. Tridimensional models were built from the images of a computerized tomography of a mandible and 3D laser digitalization of implants, abutments, mucosa, and complete denture. The geometric models of implants and abutments were mounted at the canine region to build the standard model (model 1 - absence of bone resorption). To build the experimental models the borders of the mandible geometric solid was modified to simulate bone loss around implants (model 2) and resorption of the distal ridge (model 3). The geometric models were converted into finite element models using a commercial software. The materials were considered homogeneous, isotropic, and linearly elastic. A 100 N load simulating a masticatory bolus was applied at the first molar region of each model. The von Mises stress distributions were analyzed and compared in selected points. The results showed that the bone resorption of the distal ridge associated with bone resorption around implants promoted higher stress concentration in dental implants, abutments, and marginal bone around implants. The highest stress concentration at marginal bone and implants occurred on the same side of the vertical load application for all models.
