This study investigates the influence of dental implant insertion depth on strain states within the peri-implant bone tissue. Using a finite element model based on a human mandible CT data, variations in insertion depth were simulated, ranging from 0 mm to 2 mm in 0.5 mm increments. The analysis focused on a defined volume around the implant, evaluating strain intensities categorized according to the Mechanostat hypothesis. Results revealed notable differences in strain distribution within cancellous bone with increasing insertion depth, highlighting potential implications for bone response. While cortical bone showed consistent strain patterns, variations in cancellous bone suggest a nuanced relationship between insertion depth and periimplant bone strain.
