Abstract: PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different density and amplitude of electric current on the percentage of bone-implant contact (BIC) using the finite element method.Materials and MethodsNumerical models were performed on commercially pure titanium grade IV implants connected to a 1.5 V battery with an electrical resistance (R) at 150 kΩ on 10 µA or at 75 kΩ on 20 µA. The percentage of simulated BIC was analysed by varying the electric current from 1 up to 60 µA. The variation of electric current application was simulated for coronal and apical peri-implant regions.ResultsThe findings showed that a direct and constant electric current source below 10 μA does not provide a proper current density for osseointegration (BIC
