Dental implants have become a widely accepted treatment option for both partly and fully edentulous patients (1,2). The physiological basis for the success of dental implants lies in the unique bone reaction to titanium and Ti-6A1-4V alloy (3). The term "Osseointegration" relates to the fact that unlike other materials, titanium and titanium alloy allow a direct bone deposition upon the implant surface. This phenomenon allows dental implants to anchor firmly in the alveolar bone;

The purpose of this study is to examine the biomechanical advantages of a new implant line development by Cortex Dental called SATURN. The SATURN implant features a specially designed expanded diameter mid-crestal “ring” thread, which provides added bone contact for greater insertion torque achieving primary stability.
The examination was done by using three-dimensional (3D) Finite Element Model (FEM) to evaluate the influence of SATURN implant versus classical cylindrical implant on the stress
