| Abstract | Background: Consumption of hot substances may harm the surrounding bone around a dental implant. High temperatures at the bone-implant interface (BII) interferes with local cellular activities involved in the osteointegration. Objectives: The present study was aimed at calculating the temperature distribution through the BII and the jaw bone under application of a transient cyclic thermal load. Methods: In this numerical simulation, finite element method was employed in a commercialized dental implant model drawn by computer-aided design tools based on CT data to find the temperature in superficial and deep bone regions near the BII. The heat load was applied cyclically during the intake time. Results: Results showed that the highest temperature was occurred at the top regions of the interface by magnitude of 48 C. Removal of the thermal loads also was followed by rapid decrease in the bone temperature. Conclusions: Routine beverages of a hot liquid can increase the temperature of the bone beyond the biological thresholds of the bone cells vitality or remodeling functionality, specifically in the delayed loading types of implantation. | en |
