ABSTRACT
It has been suggested that there is a unique set of problems associated with joining an implant and a natural tooth with a fixed partial denture. The manufacturer of the IMZ implant system claims that this procedure can be accomplished successfully because of the planned stress-distributing characteristics of their resin internal (intramobile) element. This study compared the difference in the stress patterns generated in photoelastic plastic by an IMZ implant with a resilient or a rigid internal element. Under a standardized cantilever load, the stress patterns were photographed in the field of a circular polariscope. The total stress areas were calculated and a statistical comparison performed. The static load conditions of the model demonstrated no statistical difference between the area of stress pattern generated by an IMZ implant with or without a resilient internal element. Moreover, a single load produced the same deflection of the cantilever beam regardless of which element was interposed.
