Biomechanical Effects of Digitally Constructed Subperiosteal Implants

"A 3D image of an edentulous maxilla bone will be derived from a computed tomography scan of an adult patient and saved as stl data. The solid geometry of the maxilla, including the cortical and spongious bone, was rebuilt from the stl data into the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format with 3D-Doctor (Able Software Corp., MA, USA).~With the Boolean method, force loading will be achieved between prosthetic parts, subperiosteal implant screws and bone tissues"
