Titanium and titanium alloys are frequently preferred as biomaterials due to their unique properties. However, since the living body comprises a complex structure capable of constant change, doubts may always arise regarding the adequacy of material strength. Many new experimental methods are being developed to predict the time-dependent behavior of material strengths within the living body. In this study, the angular chewing behavior of a pure titanium material designed according to international standards within dental implant structures will be analyzed using the Finite Element Method using ANSYS. Within the scope of the study, the stress distributions induced in the pure titanium screw component by a 50 N biting force applied at a 80 degree horizontal angle during the chewing motion of the human jaw were analyzed through chewing simulation test. The regions of stress accumulation were observed in the implant screw body in conjunction with angular bite forces. This result has been analyzed as a mathematical indication that various damage mechanisms may develop in the implant screw section due to cyclic loading. In future studies, modeling the mathematically designed chewing motion mechanism in a laboratory setting, conducting in vitro tests, and analyzing the obtained results will contribute to the overall analysis.
