In total, 601 articles were obtained from the PubMed electronic search using the Medical Subject Headings “dental implants” and “finite element analysis.” After excluding articles for which the full text could not be accessed (n = 69) and that were not written in English (n = 10), 522 articles remained. These articles were searched using the terms “validation,” “validity,” and “valid” to determine whether the studies had performed a validation; after this process, 122 articles remained. These 122 articles were read, and 47 that met the eligibility criteria were selected and are summarized in Table 1. These articles were all FEA studies published from 1997 to 2016. The articles were categorized according to the method of validation as follows: in vivo experiments, model experiments, use of others’ clinical data or literature, and other software (Figs. 2 and 3).

Based on the validation methods described in the articles, the top portion of the validation hierarchy comprised studies that used a customized clinical method in a human for validation [10]. The next level of the hierarchy comprised studies that used models for validation, including animal models [11,12,13] and mechanical experiments. Mechanical experiments were divided according to the material used for bone models and the techniques used for testing those models. The materials were divided into homogenous bone, heterogeneous bone, and artificial materials such as acrylic, polyurethane, plastic bone material, and others. Various validation methods were used in studies that employed mechanical testing of bone models using these specific artificial materials, such as digital image correction [11], photo-elastic stress analysis [15], and use of a strain gauge test attached to a model (this was the most commonly used method, described in 15 of 48 articles). These techniques also involved measurement of the implant displacement and fatigue testing of an implant body. The next level of the hierarchy comprised studies that used literature or clinical data from other articles to compare with results of FEA. The final level comprised studies that used other computer software for support but did not perform an actual experiment.
