Finite element models were created to study the stress and strain distribution around a solitary BAnemark implant. The influence of number clinically relevant parameters was examined: bone‐implant interface (fixed bond versus frictionless free contact), bone elastic properties, unicortical bicortical implant fixation presence lamina dura. Bone loading patterns in vicinity seem be very sensitive these parameters. Hence they should integrated correctly numerical vivo behaviour oral implants. This necessitates creation patient‐dependent finite models.
