One (1) was designed implant Tapered Screw -Vent® (ref TSVB10 Zimmer Dental-Carlsbad,CA,USA.) length x 10mm diameter 3.7mm with a 3.5mm platform, internal hexagon with its respective screw fixation; this was located at the tooth 37 as a rear pillar of a PPR, whose major connector was a lingual bar casting (alloy cobalt chromium), based combined (metal/ acrylic) with teeth to replace (37, 36 and 35). Efforts were evaluated von Mises in a 400N load. This analysis allowed assessing the performance of various prosthetic structures modeled and generated effects on bone-implant interface.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Differences between the values von Mises in all structures and loads were observed before there was no permanent deformation in any of them. Structures such as bone showed in normal values microstrain.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The behavior of the PPRimplant connection, showed a favorable distribution efforts by using a PPR, subjecting it to load in the vertical direction.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Revista Estomatología}, author={Arenas-Chavarria, Medardo Alexander and Giraldo-Gómez, Samuel David and Latorre-Correa, Federico and Villarraga-Ossa, Junes Abdul}, year={2018}, month={May}, pages={10–16} }
