Threaded implants have been shown to play an important role in increasing mechanical osseointegration. The aim of this study was to determine bone stress distribution when using different types of implant thread pitches and designs. Five 3D finite element models were constructed to simulate bone stresses induced in implant bodies with two types of thread form: triangular ("Tri" prefix) and trapezoidal ("Trap" prefix). The former had thread pitches of 0.8, 1.2, and 1.6 mm, while the latter had thread pitches of 1.2 and 1.6 mm. A biting load of 143 N was applied vertically and obliquely to the occlusal central fossa of the crown. The main effects of each level of the three factors investigated (loading type, pitch, and thread form) in terms of the stress value were computed for all models. Results indicated that the loading type was the main factor of influence on the peak compressive stress of the alveolar bone. Optimal thread pitch was 1.2 mm for a triangular-thread implant, and a trapezoidal-threaded implant with thread pitch of 1.6 mm had the lowest stress value among trapezoidal-threaded implants. This study concluded that each thread form has its unique optimal thread pitch with regard to lower concentration of bone stress. Clinically, this study suggests that in biomechanical consideration, thread pitch exceeding 0.8 mm is more appropriate for a screwed implant. For clinical cases that require greater bone-implant interface, trapezoidal-threaded implants with thread pitch of 1.6 mm provide greater primary stability and lower concentration of bone stress under different loading directions.
