OMIs with uniform thread pitch and diameter were compared to OMIs featuring two thread pitches and diameters. Implants were inserted into a bone analog, subjected to a ramped load, and strain was measured using electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI). The results showed that OMIs with larger diameters and finer‑pitch threads in the cortical bone region produced less strain in the bone immediately surrounding the implants. 000002913 540__ $$fCC BY 000002913 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002913 650__ $$aDental Stress Analysis$$017551 000002913 650__ $$aDental Implants$$028749 000002913 650__ $$aOrthodontics$$023308 000002913 650__ $$aBone and Bones$$015714 000002913 650__ $$aInterferometry$$020910 000002913 650__ $$aCortical Bone$$011816 000002913 650__ $$aOrthodontic Anchorage Procedures$$037152 000002913 691__ $$aSchool of Dentistry$$041368 000002913 692__ $$aDepartment of Orthodontics$$041435 000002913 7001_ $$aHoulberg, Bryan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002913 7201_ $$aMitchell, John$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eMentor 000002913 8564_ $$9d66ad2f9-ae9b-4b2c-b666-2f45764d17e3$$s3503427$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2913/files/3683_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2b0d5202e2149a57502b0282559e39050$$31 000002913 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
