In the present study, which aimed to verify the biomechanical effects of offset placement on peri-implant bone, we created multiple finite element models and models where implants were actually placed. We compared the compressed displacement as well as the strain and stress distribution in the peri-implant bone between both kinds of models, and the results can be summarized as follows:

Central loading resulted in the least compressed displacement in all placements in the experimental models as well as the FEA models.

In both the experimental models and the FEA models, compressive stress was observed to be concentrated in the loading-side peri-implant bone.

The strain and stress was significantly greater under conditions of offset placement where the loading site was far from the load-supporting area.

These results suggest that compared to straight placement, offset placement is not necessarily more biomechanically effective.
