Abstract

Implants are generally used to replace lost natural teeth and should be long-lasting to qualify the strength and fatigue standards to meet the international norms. The existing test systems for endosseous dental implants are designed utilising technological complexities that require high manufacturing and maintenance costs. Considering these challenges, this study aims to develop an efficient, more sensitive and low-cost universal electro-mechanical test bench to perform both static and fatigue tests on the implants, based on the ISO14801:2016 rules. In order to establish the bench, some design parameters, such as linear velocity, linear tension-compression load, traction power and torque, have been considered, taking into account the load capacity and maximum operating frequency. Four sets of implant specimens are used to verify the system consisting three modes: static-loading, load-controlled and stroke-controlled fatigue tests. The test results are judged comparable to the data published in existing literature. Based on the observed results, the developed test bench demonstrates an efficient test performance, greater sensitivity and 85% cost-efficiency compared to other similar devices. Therefore, a valuable alternative and a useful test bench, including the controlling system, is developed in this study to test the dental implants in terms of cost-efficiencies, strength and fatigue test performances, considering the related code specifications.
