The article presents a theoretical rationale for the use of digital mathematical modeling in predicting the biomechanical effectiveness of fixed prosthetic restorations on dental implants. The possibilities of the finite element method (Finite Element Analysis, FEA) in analyzing the stress-strain state of the “implant–abutment–prosthetic restoration–bone tissue” system are considered. The influence of implant diameter and length, bone quality, fixation type, and prosthetic material on the distribution of functional load is analyzed. It is shown that the use of mathematical modeling increases the predictability of clinical outcomes and reduces the risk of biomechanical complications.
