RESUMO

The aim of this study was to evaluate, in vitro, the microbiological sealing at the implant and different angles frictional prosthetic abutment interface, submitted or not to mechanical cycling, as well as the deactivation force and evaluation of the implant-abutment interface by scanning electron microscopy. For this study, the sealing capacity of eighty sets of abutments/implants of each angle, with and without mechanical cycling, with internal conical connection (locking tapper) (4.3 mm × 9.0 mm) constituted in Titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V), and stainless steel angled prosthetic abutment was evaluated (18Cr14Ni2.5Mo) according to ASTM F138-13a (Arcsys, FGM, Joinville, Brazil), 6 mm high and 4.2 mm in diameter at the coronary portion, and 3.5 mm high transmucosal, in 4 different angles (0, 5, 10 and 20°). After in vitro tests, 100% biological sealing was observed at the implant / prosthetic abutment interface within cycled and non-cycled conditions, for the straight, 5, 10 and 20° inclination groups. There was no statistically significant difference in the removal force of the prosthetic abutments at different angles, under non-cycled conditions; however, under mechanical loading, the deactivation force was significantly higher for straight prosthetic abutments than with 10 and 20° of angulation. Surface analysis revealed good adaptation between implants and abutments, and the presence of wear areas, independently of mechanical loading. It is concluded that the analysis of implant and prosthetic abutment interface revealed good adaptation between the parts, for all analyzed samples.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the influence of thermo-mechanical cycling (TMC) on the bond strength (BS) of a universal adhesive system (UAS - Adper Single Bond Universal, 3M ESPE) to dentin treated or not with 0.2% chlorhexidine (CHX). METHODS: Eighty human molars were flattened until reach the dentin and separated into 4 groups according to the bonding protocol: ENR Group: 37% phosphoric acid + 3-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system (ENR); UAS Group: UAS in self-etch mode; ENR + CHX Group: 37% phosphoric acid + CHX + ENR; UAS + CHX Group: CHX + UAS in self-etch mode. After treatments, teeth were restored (Filtek Z350, 3M ESPE). Samples (n = 10) were submitted to aging process: stored in distilled water at 37°C/30 days or TMC (ERIOS - 98N/1.6Hz + thermal cycling 5/37/55 °C - 1,200,000 cycles). Specimens were sectioned into sticks (1.0 mm2) and submitted to the microtensile test (Mechanical Test Machine - 0.5 mm/min). Fracture patterns and hybrid layer integrity were analyzed under Stereomicroscope and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). RESULTS: The BS results (3-way ANOVA, Bonferroni's test, α = 5%) showed that groups treated with CHX presented higher BS values than control groups; significant in all cases (p < .05), except for ENR submitted to TMC (p > .05). When CHX was applied and samples were cycled, UAS revealed higher BS (p < .05) than ENR. After TMC, cohesive fractures increased for UAS, regardless of CHX application. SEM analysis demonstrated different hybridization patterns for the adhesive systems tested. CONCLUSION: The performance of the universal adhesive system used in self-etch mode was better than that of the 3-step etch-and-rinse adhesive system. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Universal adhesive systems have been developed in order to simplify the dentin hybridization protocol. It is important to determine the longevity of the adhesive interface using these bonding materials after chewing.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To evaluate the fracture resistance after the thermal and mechanical fatigue of feldspathic, lithium disilicate, and resin-modified CAD/CAM monolithic crowns cemented onto a universal post abutment. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A right second mandibular molar was designed in CAD/CAM software, and 30 crowns were machined using three different materials (n = 10): feldspathic ceramic, finished only with a glaze cycle (G1); lithium disilicate, sintered and finished with a glaze cycle (G2); and resin, modified by nanoceramic and finished with rubber (G3). All crowns were cemented under a constant 50 N load, the excess cement was removed, and the crowns were light-cured for 30 seconds. After being immersed in deionized water for 7 days, the crowns were submitted to thermal cycling, which consisted of varying the temperature from 2 to 50°C for 350,000 cycles, and mechanical cycling in a fatigue simulator, where a 250 N load was applied for 1,000,000 cycles at 2 Hz. The resistance of each crown was verified in a compression-to-failure test at 1 mm/min in a universal test machine. The groups were compared using one-way ANOVA with a Bonferroni post hoc test and Weibull statistics. RESULTS: The resin-modified group was the least resistant group (1755 ± 124 N), followed by the feldspathic (2147 ± 412 N) and lithium disilicate groups (2804 ± 303 N). The Weibull statistics demonstrated that lithium disilicate is the most reliable material and has the lowest fracture probability. CONCLUSIONS: It was possible to conclude that all of the tested CAD/CAM materials can be used as monolithic, implant-supported molar crowns.

RESUMO

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effect of grinding and multi-stimuli aging on the fatigue strength, surface topography and the phase transformation of Y-TZP ceramic. Discs were manufactured according to ISO-6872:2008 for biaxial flexure testing (diameter: 15 mm; thickness: 1.2 mm) and randomly assigned considering two factors "grinding" and "aging": C- control (as-sintered); CA- control + aging; G- ground; GA- ground + aging. Grinding was carried out with coarse diamond burs under water-cooling. Aging protocols consisted of: autoclave (134°C, 2 bars pressure, 20 hours), followed by storage for 365 days (samples were kept untouched at room temperature), and by mechanical cycling (106 cycles by 20 Hz under a load of 50% from the biaxial flexure monotonic tests). Flexural fatigue strengths (20,000 cycles; 6 Hz) were determined under sinusoidal cyclic loading using staircase approach. Additionally, surface topography analysis by FE-SEM and phase transformation analysis by X-ray Diffractometry were performed. Dixon and Mood methodology was used to analyze the fatigue strength data. Grinding promotes alterations of topographical pattern, while aging apparently did not alter it. Grinding triggered t-m phase transformation without impacting the fatigue strength of the Y-TZP ceramic; and aging promoted an intense t-m transformation that resulted in a toughening mechanism leading to higher fatigue strength for as-sintered condition, and a tendency of increase for ground condition (C < CA; G = GA). It concludes that grinding and aging procedures did not affect deleteriously the fatigue strength of the evaluated Y-TZP ceramic, although, it promotes surface topography alterations, except to aging, and t-m phase transformation.

Resumo Este estudo objetivou investigar o efeito do desgaste e envelhecimento (estímulos combinados) na resistência à fadiga, topografia superficial e transformação de fase de uma cerâmica Y-TZP. Discos para teste de flexão biaxial foram confeccionados segundo as normas da ISO-6872:2008 (15 mm Ø; 1,2 mm espessura) e randomicamente distribuídos de acordo com os fatores "desgaste" e "envelhecimento": C- controle (sinterizado); CA- controle envelhecido; G- desgaste; GA- desgaste envelhecido. O desgaste foi feito com pontas diamantadas de granulação grossa sob irrigação com água. Os protocolos de envelhecimento consistiram em: autoclave (134°C, 2 bar de pressão, 20 horas), 365 dias armazenados em temperatura ambiente, e ciclagem mecânica (106 ciclos a 20 Hz em um intervalo de carga de até 50% da carga monotônica observada em testes estáticos). A resistência à fadiga foi determinada para 20.000 ciclos à 6 Hz sob carregamento sinusoidal através do método de escada. Adicionalmente, análises de topografia superficial em microscopia eletrônica de varredura e de transformação de fase por difração de raios-X foram executadas. A metodologia de Dixon e Mood foi usada para analisar os dados de resistência à fadiga. Foi observado que o desgaste promove uma alteração de padrão topográfico superficial; enquanto o envelhecimento aparentemente não demonstra influência. Em relação à transformação de fase e resistência à fadiga, o desgaste desencadeou um aumento de fase m sem impactar na resistência à fadiga da cerâmica Y-TZP; já o envelhecimento promoveu uma intensa transformação de fase, resultando no mecanismo de tenacificação, que gerou um aumento na resistência à fadiga para a condição sinterizada e uma tendência a aumento na condição desgaste (C < CA; G = GA). Os dados elucidam que o desgaste e o envelhecimento não impactaram negativamente na resistência à fadiga da cerâmica Y-TZP, apesar de promoverem alterações de topografia superficial e intensa transformação de fase de t-m respectivamente.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of hydrothermal aging (H), mechanical cycling (M), and the combination of hydrothermal plus mechanical cycling (H+M) on biaxial flexural strength (BFS) and microstructure of two monolithic zirconias, indicated for anterior (AMZ) or posterior restorations (PMZ) and a conventional zirconia (IZr). METHODS: Disc specimens of each material (n=12) were submitted to: i) H (8h in autoclave at 134°C); ii) M (106 cycles, at 40% of BFS); and iii) H+M. BFS was measured (ISO-6872) and Weibull modulus (m) and the characteristic strength (σ0) were calculated. crystalline phase composition analyzed by XRD, and grain size measured by MEV analysis. RESULTS: XRD analysis showed AMZ was not susceptible to monoclinic transformation in any treatment. Conventional zirconia (IZr) and PMZ had monoclinic transformation only after H and H+M. BFS of AMZ was lower than PMZ and IZr. Cubic phase was found in all conditions for AMZ and IZr, while it was identified in PMZ only after H and H+M. BFS of AMZ was affected by M and H+M. For IZr and PMZ the unique difference detected in BFS was in the comparison of H to M. H treatment induced lower Weibull modulus, but characteristic strength was compatible with the BFS results. AMZ grain size (µm2) was 8.6 times larger than PMZ grains, and 13.6 times larger than IZr grains. CONCLUSIONS: AMZ showed the largest mean grain size, had the lowest BFS values, and was affected when mechanical cycling was involved. Monoclinic transformation was not found in any treatment for AMZ, but was found in IZr and PMZ when hydrothermal aging was used alone or when combined with mechanical cycling. PMZ showed similar behavior to the IZr. H induced to higher fracture probability. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Translucent monolithic dental zirconia available on the market may behave differently under simulated oral aging. The relationship between composition and microstructure determines their properties presumably, and clinical performance.

RESUMO

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of a diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating on the removal torque of prefabricated implant screws after cyclic loading. Four groups with two crowns supported by two implants (n = 5) were obtained according to splinted and nonsplinted prosthesis, using titanium or DLC screws (splinted crowns with titanium screw [STi], splinted crowns with DLC screw [SC], nonsplinted crowns and titanium screw [NSTi], and nonsplinted crowns and DLC screw [NSC]). The prosthetic screws were tightened at 32 Ncm and retightened, and the specimens were submitted to 106 mechanical cycles (4 Hz/98 N). After cyclic loading, loosening torque was evaluated, and the final measurements were performed. Data were analyzed by two-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test (α = .005). There was statistically significance in the interaction of screw × splinting (P = .003). For the group that used titanium screws, NSTi showed smaller removal torque compared with STi. It was concluded that the use of the DLC coating screws in nonsplinted prosthesis maintain the torque after cyclic loading.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the influence of two aging procedures on the biaxial flexural strength of yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia ceramics. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Disc-shaped zirconia specimens and (ZE: E.max ZirCAD, Ivoclar; ZT: Zirkon Translucent, Zirkonzahn) (N = 80) (∅:12 mm; thickness:1.2 mm, ISO 6872) were prepared and randomly divided into four groups (n = 10 per group) according to the aging procedures: C: Control, no aging; M: mechanical cycling (2 × 106 cycles/3.8 Hz/200 N); AUT: Aging in autoclave at 134°C, 2 bar for 24 h; AUT + M: Autoclave aging followed by mechanical cycling. After aging, the transformed monoclinic zirconia (%) were evaluated using X-ray diffraction and surface roughness was measured using atomic force microscopy. The average grain size was measured by scanning electron microscopy and the specimens were submitted to biaxial flexural strength testing (1 mm/min, 1000 kgf in water). Data (MPa) were statistically analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test (α = 0.05). RESULTS: Aging procedures significantly affected (p = 0.000) the flexural strength data but the effect of zirconia type was not significant (p = 0.657). AUTZT (936.4 ± 120.9b ) and AUT + MZE (867.2 ± 49.3b ) groups presented significantly higher values (p < 0.05) of flexural strength than those of the control groups (CZT : 716.5 ± 185.7a ; CZE : 779.9 ± 114a ) (Tukey's test). The monoclinic phase percentage (%) was higher for AUTZE (71), AUTZT (66), AUT + MZE (71), and AUT + MZM (66) compared to the C groups (ZE:0; ZT:0). Surface roughness (µm) was higher for AUTZE (0.09), AUTZT (0.08), AUT + MZE (0.09 µm), and AUT + MZT (0.09 µm) than those of other groups. CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of the zirconia type, autoclave aging alone or with mechanical aging increased the flexure strength but also induced higher transformation from tetragonal to monoclinic phase in both zirconia materials tested. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

RESUMO

Objective: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a deformação plástica em fios NiTi e CuNiTi submetidos à ciclagem mecânica. Material e Métodos: Utilizaram-se fios ortodônticos de CuNITi de cinco marcas comerciais (n=10): RMO, Orthometric, Ormco, Aditek e Eurodonto; e um grupo controle de fio NiTi: Aditek termoativado. Todos os fios, com calibre 0.016'', foram encaixados em slots de quatro bráquetes convencionais alinhados e fixados a uma placa de acrílico. O teste foi realizado com aplicação de carga de 3 N e frequência de 2 Hz entre os dois bráquetes mais centrais, limitando-se à 10.000 ciclos. Após a ciclagem, observou-se a presença ou ausência de fratura dos fios. Não havendo fratura, os fios foram analisados quanto à deformação plástica com uso de transferidor, medindo-se a angulação do fio deformado. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que não houve fratura de nenhum dos fios analisados. O teste de Kruskal-Wallis mostrou diferenças entre as angulações dos fios ortodônticos (p=0.0009). Com exceção dos fios da Ormco, os demais apresentaram deformação plástica. A maior mediana do valor de angulação foi observada para o fio Aditek Cuper NiTi. Observou-se que as menores medianas foram observadas para os fios RMO, Eurodonto e Ormco. Os fios Aditek termoativado e Orthometric apresentaram angulação intermediária. Conclusão: Nenhum dos fios analisados apresentou fratura. Houve diferenças quanto à deformação plástica sofrida pelos fios avaliados, independentemente da presença de cobre na sua composição química, sendo que o fio Ormco foi o único que não apresentou qualquer deformação.

Objetivo: The aim of this study was to evaluate the plastic deformation of NiTi and CuNiTi archwires submitted to mechanical cycling. Material and Methods: Orthodontic archwires made of CuNiTi of five commercial brands (n=10) were used: RMO, Orthometric, Ormco, Aditek and Eurodonto; and a Control Group of NiTi archwire: Aditek thermoactivated. All the archwires, with caliber 0.016", were fitted into the slots of four conventional brackets, aligned and fixed to an acrylic plate. The test was performed by applying a load of 3 N and frequency of 2 Hz between the most central brackets, limited to 10,000 cycles. After cycling, the presence or absence of archwire fracture was observed. When there was no fracture, the archwires were analyzed relative to plastic deformation with the use of a transferer, measuring the angulation of the deformed archwire. Results: The results showed that there was no fracture in any of the wires analyzed. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed differences among the angulations of the orthodontic archwires (p=0.0009). With exception of the Ormco wires, the other types presented plastic deformation. The highest median of the angulation value was observed for the Aditek Copper NiTi archwire. The lowest median values were observed for the RMO, Eurodonto and Ormco archwires. The Aditek thermoactivated and Orthometric archwires presented intermediate angulation. Conclusion: None of the archwires analyzed presented fracture. These archwires presented differences in plastic deformation, irrespective of the presence of copper in their chemical composition. The Ormco archwire was the only type that presented no deformation whatever (AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the mechanical behavior and bacterial microleakage at the implant/abutment-tapered interface following mechanical cycling. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two groups of screwless (Morse taper) implants (G1 and G2) and two groups of prosthetic screwed implants (G3 and G4) were tested. One group from each model (G2 and G4) were submitted to mechanical cycling, 500,000 cycles per sample, at a load of 120 N at 2 Hz prior to analysis. Microbiological analysis was performed via immersion of all samples in an Escherichia coli-containing suspension, incubated at 37 °C. After 14 days, the abutments were removed from their respective implants, registering the removal force (G1 and G2) or reverse torque (G3 and G4), and the presence of bacterial leakage was evaluated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed to analyze the tapered surfaces of the selected samples. The Student t, binomial, and G tests were used for statistical analysis at a 5 % significance level. RESULTS: The results showed no significant difference between removal force, reverse torque, and contamination values when comparing implants of the same type. However, when the four groups were compared, contamination differed significantly (p = 0.044), with G1 having the least number of contaminated samples (8.3 %). SEM analysis showed superficial defects and damage. CONCLUSIONS: The abutment removal force or torque was not affected by mechanical cycling. Bacterial sealing of the implant/abutment tapered interface was not effective for any condition analyzed. Imprecise machining of implant parts does not allow a sufficient contact area between surfaces to provide effective sealing and prevent bacterial leakage. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The microscopic gap caused by unsatisfactory implant/abutment adaptation, surface irregularities, and plastic deformation of all parts enabled bacterial contamination of the oral implants.

RESUMO

This in vitro study evaluated the effect of mechanical cycling on the torque of retaining screw in external hexagon implants with platform switching (PS), regular platform (RP) and wide platform (WP). A total of 30 specimens were equally divided into 3 groups: PS, PR and WP. Each specimen was prepared with implants: 3.75 x 10 mm for RP group and 5.0x10 mm for PS and WP groups and its respective abutment with 32 Ncm torque. All groups were subjected to 106 cycles with 100 N (corresponding to about 40 months of chewing). The results were obtained with the reverse torque of each specimen and data were evaluated using ANOVA and Tukey test (p<0.05). The PS group showed statistically significant difference in screw removal torque (30.06±5.42) compared with RP (23.75±2.76) and WP (21.32±3.53) (p<0.05) groups; the RP and WP groups showed no statistically significant difference between them. It was concluded that the PS group showed higher reverse torque value, suggesting lower susceptibility of the abutment screw loosening.

Este estudo in vitro avaliou o efeito da ciclagem mecânica no torque dos parafusos de retenção em implantes de hexágono externo com plataforma switching (PS), plataforma regular (RP) e plataforma larga (WP). Foram utilizados 30 corpos de prova divididos em 3 grupos equitativamente: PS, RP e WP. Cada corpo de prova foi preparado com implantes: 3,75x10 mm para o grupo RP e 5,0x10 mm para os grupos PS e WP, e seu respectivo abutment com o torque de 32 Ncm. Todos os grupos foram submetidos a 106 ciclos com 100 N de força (o que corresponde a aproximadamente 40 meses de mastigação). Os resultados foram obtidos com o torque reverso de cada espécime e os dados foram avaliados com ANOVA comparado com o teste de Tukey (p<0,05). O grupo PS apresentou diferença estatisticamente significante no torque de remoção do parafuso (30,06±5,42) comparado com os grupos RP (23,75±2,76) e WP (21,32±3,53) (p<0,05); os grupos RP e WP não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significante entre si. Concluiu-se que o grupo PS apresentou maior valor de torque reverso sugerindo menor susceptibilidade de afrouxamento do parafuso de fixação do abutment.

RESUMO

The biomechanical stability of the implant-abutment connection is critical for the success of implant-supported restorations. This study investigated the effect of a positioning index on the abutment screw preload values of tapered connection implants. Twenty Morse taper implants presenting an internal locking hex received 10 solid and 10 straight screw retained abutments for cemented single-crown restorations. Ten abutments had a positioning index to fit the internal locking hex of the implant (straight), and 10 were locked only by the implant taper (solid). The preload values for each abutment screw after a tightening torque were registered by strain gauges. Prosthetic crowns were placed on each abutment and subjected to mechanical cycling. Detorque forces were applied to each abutment and compared with the initial torque values. Data were statistically analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Student t tests. The nonindexed group presented higher initial preload (6.05 N ± 0.95 N) compared with the indexed group (4.88 N ± 0.92 N; P < .05). After cycling, the nonindexed group exhibited less reduction of preload (13.84% ± 6.43%) compared with the indexed group (52.65% ± 14.81%; P < .01). Indexed tapered abutments for single-crown restorations might represent greater biomechanical risk under function.

RESUMO

Muitos sistemas adesivos foram desenvolvidos na última década. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliara resistência adesiva ao cisalhamaneto (RAC)de bráquetes ortodônticos aderidos com primer convencional (PC) ou primer auto-condicionante (PAC), submetidos à ciclagem térmica (CT) e ciclagem térmico-mecânica (CTM). Incisivos bovinos (n =90)foram randomicamente divididos em 2 grupos (n =45) para a colagem dos bráquetes: XT (Transbond XT, 3M-Unitek, CA, USA); SEP (Transbond Plus SEP,3M-Unitek, CA, USA). Após o procedimento adesivo os grupos forma subdivididos em 3 sub-grupos: SC(sem ciclagem) – 1 e 4 (n =15 cada); CTM (ciclagem térmico-mecânica)- 2 e 5 (n = 15 cada); CT (ciclagem térmica)- 3 e 6 (n = 15 cada). Um simulador de fadiga térmica foi usado para os subgrupos 3 e 6, que fioram submetidos a 500 ciclos térmicos entre 5 and 55 C (ISO 11405). Os subgrupos 2 e 5 foram submetidos à ciclagem térmico-mecânica em um simulador de fadiga. Os espécimes foram colocados em uma basede metal num ângulo de 45 e os braquetes receberam impulsos de 1 bar e 4 Hz de frequência, por uma agulha de metal de 2.5 mm de diâmetro fixada na haste superior do equipamento. Foram submetidos a 100.000 ciclos mecânicos e 500 ciclos térmicos entre 5 and 55 C. O teste de RAC foi realizado emuma máquina universal de testes (1mm/min). Após orompimento da união foi realizada uma avaliação emmicroscopia óptica para avaliar a penetração adesivae o Índice de Permanência do Adesivo (IPA) sobreo esmalte. Os resultados mostraram maiores valores de RAC (14,70 ± 4,85 MPa) para o SEP. A CT não influenciou os resultados para o XT (NC- 11,44 MPa;TC - 11,20 MPa; TMC - 11,19 MPa), enquanto para oSEP, a CTM mostrou maiores valores (16,84 MPa)...

Several adhesive systems have been developed in the last decade. The aim of the current studywas to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded with conventional primers (XT) or self-etching primers (SEP), by means of thermocycling (TC) and thermomechanical(TM) procedures. 90 bovine incisors were randomly divided into 2 groups (45 specimens each) for brackets bonding: XT (Transbond XT, 3M-Unitek,CA, USA); SEP (Transbond Plus SEP, 3M-Unitek,CA, USA). After bonding, groups were divided into 3subgroups: NC (no cycling)- 1 and 4 (n = 15 each),TMC – 2 and 5 (n =15 each); and TC- 3 and 6 (n=15 each). The fatigue simulator was used for thethermal fatigue test of groups 3 and 6, which were submitted to thermal variation cycles - 500 cyles were carried out in between 5 and 55 C ( ISO 11405). Groups 2 and 5 were submitted to thermomechanicaltests by using the mechanical fatigue simulator. Thespecimens were placed at a metal base at an angleof 45, in a way that the 2.5 mm diameter metalneedle was fixed in the upper part of the cyclingmachine and could induce impulses of 1 bar loadintensity and 4 Hz frequency (4 cycles per second)on the bracket. The samples were submitted to 100000 mechanical cycles and 500 thermal cycles which varied from 5C to 55C. The SBS test was performed in a universal testing machine (1 mm/min). Afterdebonding, optic microscopic evaluation for adhesive penetration and Adhesive Remaining Index (ARI)analyses in the enamel surface were performed.The results showed higher SBS (14.70 ± 4.85 MPa)values for SEP. The SBS remained similar despitecycling (NC-11.44 MPa; TC-11.20 MPa; TMC-11.19MPa) for XT, meanwhile for SEP, ...

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rotational freedom between implant and abutment counterpart of two abutments types over external hexagon implants submitted to mechanical cycling. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten implants with external hexagon (3.75 mm × 13 mm), five cast abutments, and five premachined abutments both with 4.1 mm plataform size were used in this study. Ten metallic crowns were fabricated using the two types of abutments and were fixed to each implant using titanium screws (Ti6Al4V). Rotational freedom measurements were made before and after the cast procedure and after the mechanical cycling. Groups were classified according to the rotational misfit register using University of California, Los Angeles abutment and implants as new (group 1 = G1); using crowns and implants after crown casting (group 2 = G2); and using crowns and implants after mechanical cycling (group 3 = G3). Oblique loading of 120N at 1.8 Hz and 5 × 10(5) cycles was applied on specimen. RESULTS: Statistical analysis (p < .05) showed that no significant difference was observed when cast abutment was compared with premachined abutment after casting (p = .390) and mechanical cycling (p = .439); however, significant difference was noted before the casting (p = .005) with higher values for the cast abutments. CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, it could be concluded that the abutment type used do not influenced the rotational freedom after casting and the amount of applied cycles (500,000 cycles) was not sufficient to significantly alter the values of rotational freedom at the implant/abutment joint.

RESUMO

O tratamento reabilitador protético realizado sobre implantes pode ser comprometido por falhas mecânicas em seus componentes. O presente estudo teve por objetivo avaliar, in vitro, o desajuste ocorrido na interface implante-intermediário por meio da aferição e comparação do torque inicial utilizado no parafuso de fixação dos pilares protéticos em implantes com hexágono externo e interno, e também o torque necessário para remoção após ciclagem mecânica. Foram formados 4 grupos: GCMHE - coroa metálica sobre implante hexágono externo, GCMCHE – coroa metalocerâmica sobre implante hexágono externo, GCMHI – coroa metálica sobre implante hexágono interno, GCMCHI – coroa metalocerâmica sobre implante hexágono interno. Foi realizada uma ciclagem mecânica sobre os pilares protéticos utilizando uma simuladora de fadiga mecânica (Máquina ERIOS, ER-11000) com carga axial de 120 N, 400.000 ciclos com frequência de 1 ciclo/seg, ao final dos ciclos foi realizado o destorque dos parafusos. Mediu-se o torque de remoção dos parafusos de fixação dos pilares protéticos com um torquímetro manual e também foram realizadas radiografias com o objetivo de avaliar falha de adaptação da coroa em sua margem cervical provenientes do processo de confecção das coroas metálicas e metalocerâmicas. Em grande parte dos corpos de prova de coroas metalocerâmicas foram encontradas falhas protéticas. Houve diminuição significativa nos valores de torque de remoção de todas as amostras, e a perda foi ainda maior nas amostras submetidas à ciclagem mecânica. Foi constatado que houve diminuição nos valores de torque de remoção desses componentes e a que função mastigatória aumenta a probabilidade de desajuste na interface implante-pilar

Successful prosthetic rehabilitation treatment performed on bone-integrated implants can be compromised by mechanical failures. This study aimed to evaluate in vitro the mismatch occurred at the interface implant-intermediate by measuring and comparing the initial torque on the screw used for fixing the prosthetic abutments on implants with external hexagon and also the torque necessary for removal after cycling mechanics; 4 test groups were formed: GCMHE - metal crown on implant external hexagon, GCMCHE - metal-ceramic crown on implant external hexagon, GCMHI - metal crown on implant hexagon, GCMCHI – PFM crown on implant hexagon procedure. For this, we performed a mechanical cycling on the prosthetic abutments using a simulated mechanical fatigue (ERIOS Machine, ER-11000) with 120 N axial load, 400,000 cycles with a frequency of 1 cycle/sec at the end of the cycles was performed destorque screws. We measured the removal torque of the screws of prosthetic abutments with a torque wrench manual and X-rays were taken in order to assess failure of adaptation of the crown margin in his neck from the process of making crowns metal-ceramic and metal. In most specimens of PFM crown prosthetic failures were found. There was significant decrease in removal torque values of all samples, and the loss was even greater in samples subjected to mechanical cycling. The data obtained allow to suppose that there is always a decrease in removal torque values of these components and that chewing increases the likelihood of a breakdown in the prosthetic implant-abutment interface

RESUMO

Próteses implantossuportadas estão sujeitas a diversos tipos de falhas, sendo o afrouxamento do parafuso de retenção a complicação mais frequente, devido à perda da pré-carga inicial. A perda da pré-carga pode ser influenciada por fatores como incidência de cargas oclusais impróprias, diferentes tipos de conexões do sistema implante/prótese e desajustes entre a coroa e o implante. Sendo assim, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a manutenção da pré-carga de parafusos de retenção de titânio e a desadaptação vertical de coroas protéticas parafusadas, antes e após a ciclagem mecânica. Para isso, três tipos de conexões implante/pilar foram utilizados: implantes de conexão interna híbrida com pilar do tipo esteticone (grupo CIE); implantes de conexão externa com pilar o tipo esteticone (grupo CEE); e implantes de conexão externa com pilar UCLA (grupo CEU). Para cada grupo, foram confeccionadas 10 coroas metálicas fundidas em liga de CoCrMo para a composição final dos corpos-de-prova. Os parafusos de retenção protéticos receberam torque de 20N.cm nos grupos CIE e CEE e 30N.cm no grupo CEU, e, após três minutos, foi mensurado o valor de destorque inicial, com o auxílio de um torquímetro analógico. Após essa avaliação inicial, as coroas receberam novamente o torque recomendado e foram submetidas ao ensaio de ciclagem mecânica, com carga oblíqua (30°) de 130N ± 10N, a 2Hz de freqüência, totalizando 1x106 ciclos. Após a ciclagem, foi mensurado o destorque final. Além disso, antes e depois da ciclagem mecânica, foi realizada a verificação da adaptação vertical das coroas por meio de um estereomicroscópio, com as coroas parafusadas a um único implante e posicionadas em uma matriz de silicone a fim de padronizar seu posicionamento. Os dados obtidos foram tabulados e submetidos à análise de variância, teste exato de Fisher e correlação linear de Pearson (p<0,05). Todas as mensurações de destorque foram inferiores ao torque de inserção, tanto antes quanto após a ciclagem...

Implant-supported prostheses are prone to several types of fail, and the retaining screw loosening is the most frequent complication, due to the loss of its initial preload. Loss of preload may be caused by different factors such as the incidence of excessive occlusal loading, different types of implant/prosthesis connections systems and vertical misfit between crown and implant. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the preload maintenance of titanium retaining screws and to measure the vertical misfit of implant-supported screwed crowns, before and after mechanical cycling. For this purpose, three types of implant/abutment systems were embedded in polyester resin: internal hybrid connection implants and Estheticone abutments (Group ICE); external connection implants with Estheticone abutments (Group ECE); and external connection implants with UCLA abutments (Group ECU). For each group, 10 metallic crowns were cast in CoCrMo alloy for the final compositions of the specimens. Retaining screws received insertion torque of 20 N.cm in groups ICE and ECE and 30N.cm in group ECU, and, after three minutes, the initial detorque was measured through an analogical torquemeter. After this initial evaluation, crowns were retightened and submitted to cyclic loading test, with an oblique loading (30°) of 130N ± 10N, at 2Hz of frequency, totalizing 1x106 cycles. After cycling, final detorque was measured. Moreover, before and after mechanical cycling, the vertical misfit of the crowns was measured through estereomicroscopy, with the crowns screwed to a single implant and positioned into a silicone matrix. The data obtained were tabulated and submitted to variance analysis, Fisher’s exact test and Pearson’s linear correlation (p<0,05). All detorque values were lower that the insertion torque, both before and after mechanical cycling. When groups were compared, there was no statistically significant difference before mechanical cycling. When groups were compared after...
