This research focuses on the development of an analytical model loosening mechanism of dental implant system. The model is utilized for predictions of preload values for internal and external types of implants. It identifies the effects of various parameters such as friction, geometric factors and mechanical properties on the loosening mechanism of the implant system. The results of analytical model are compared to those of the numerical method for validation.
