Biomechanics of Dental Implant Load Distribution
Quick fact
The biting force in the molar region can reach up to 200 pounds, yet a dental implant can handle it by spreading the load over a large area of bone—if designed correctly.
Why this is interesting
Have you ever wondered why some dental implants last for decades while others fail? The secret lies not in the implant itself, but in how forces from chewing are distributed to the jawbone.
