Background Biomechanics plays a decisive role in the long-term success of dental implants. Previous work has shown that biomechanical processes can be visualized using 3D optical measuring system (ARAMIS, GOM GmbH) as part comparison with strain gauges. Aim/Hypothesis The aim this study was to investigate whether first different materials implant-supported bridges and their influence on surface deformation bone under chewing force is possible new system. Material Methods Two implants were placed an artificial block restored made (base metal, polyether ether ketone, ceramics) successive test series. A power machine simulated increasing purchasing 50, 100, 150 200kN measurements changes for each material performed. This achieved one hand by gauge other use innovative, computer-aided ARAMIS. Parallel gauges, two virtual extensometers (virtual gauges) created ARAMIS software integrated into images By software, lengths able detected at any time mean change length these compared reference. Results It value almost congruent those corresponding gauge. Thus, basically suitable intended investigation. Conclusion Clinical Implications 1. Complex examined high precision basis method. 2. also allows evaluation previously unattainable speed larger amount data same time. 3. An exactly course measured values not yet possible, since positioning still limited. further will align
