ABSTRACT

The aim of this research was to evaluate the load distribution in tilted distal implants used in the all-on-four system. Two implant schemes were used. In both, two vertical anterior implants and tilted posterior implants were installed, one group with an angulation of 15 and another with an angulation of 35. The implants were installed together with a bar binding them all in a photoelastic model obtained from a replica of an edentulous maxilla. In this model, loads were produced in the sector of the bar cantilever, the abutment of the tilted implants and over the four implants using devices specially designed for this purpose. The bands were recorded with a digital camera, and the qualitative and quantitative analyses were carried out by means of student's t-test and the Mann-Whitney test in Biostat v. 5.0, considering a level of p<0.05 to establish a statistically significant relation. In the qualitative analysis, the implant with 35 presented the greatest amount of stress on the cantilever forces at cervical level. The quantitative studies showed fewer differences in all aspects assessed, although significant differences were observed between the two systems when loads were applied at cantilever level. It can be concluded that there are minimal differences in the stress distribution when comparing implants with angulations of 15 or 35. However, there is a greater concentration of stress at the cervical level in implants tilted to 35.


El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la distribución de cargas en implantes angulados distales utilizados en el sistema "All-On-Four". Dos esquemas de implantes fueron empleados. En ambos, dos implantes verticales en el área anterior y dos implantes angulados en el sector posterior fueron instalados, utilizando angulaciones de 15 y 35 o en estos últimos. Los implantes fueron instalados de forma conjunta mediante una barra unida al sistema de resina fotoelástica obtenida de una replica de una maxila edéntula. En este modelo, las cargas fueron producidas en el sector del cantiléver de la barra, el pilar del implante angulado y, mediante un sistema genérico, sobre la totalidad de los implantes. Las bandas de estrés fueron reconocidas en una cámara digital donde los análisis cualitativos y cuantitativos fueron realizados utilizando las pruebas t de Student y Mann-Whitney en el programa computacional Biostat v. 5.0, considerando un valor de p<0,05 para establecer diferencias significativas. En el análisis cualitativo, los implantes con 35 presentaron una gran cantidad de estrés en el área de cantiléver, principalmente a nivel cervical. Los estudios cuantitativos mostraron limitadas diferencias en todos los aspectos, aunque diferencias significativas fueron alcanzadas cuando se compararon ambos sistemas después de la carga a nivel del cantiléver. Se puede concluir que hay diferencias menores en la distribución de estrés cuando se comparan implantes dentales con angulación de 15 y 35. Sin embargo, existe una mayor cantidad de concentraciones de estrés a nivel cervical en los implantes con 35 de angulación.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to analyse the in vitro the stress distribution in craniofacial structures around zygomatic implants. Synthetic polyurethane skulls replicas were used as templates for installation of standard and zygomatic implants performing two techniques using rehabilitation with using one zygomatic implant in the right and left side in combination with 2 and 4 standard implants in the anterior maxilla (group 1 and group 2). The skull replicas of photoelastic resin were subjected to photoelastic analysis after linear loading using an Instron 4411 servohydraulic mechanical testing, with a 2 mm displacement. The stress distribution showed the fringes with concentration in the body and the frontal process of zygomatic bone. In the case of model 1, higher concentrations of stress were found around the standard and zygomatic implants and surrounding bone. Under this condition, the rehabilitation with 2 zygomatics implants and 4 standard implants (group 2) provided the most favorable behavior.


El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el estrés in vitro y la distribución de tensiones en la estructura craneofacial a partir de los implantes cigomaticos. Réplicas de cráneo de poliuretano fueron usados como modelos para la instalación de implantes cigomáticos estándar utilizando dos modelos de distribución de implantes. Estos modelos fueron usados como modelos utilizando 1 implante en cada lado con dos o cuatro implantes convencionales en la región anterior maxilar (grupo 1 y grupo 2); posteriormente, se realizó una carga compresiva unilateral en la máquina Instrom 4411 utilizando 2 mm de desplazamiento máximo. La distribución de estrés se concentró principalmente en la región de cuerpo de hueso cigomático y en la región frontal del proceso cigomático; el modelo 1, con dos implantes convencionales, mostró mayor distribución de estrés en la región cigomática al comparase con el grupo 2; bajo estas condiciones, se concluye que la distribución con cuatro implantes convencionales entrega mejores condiciones de distribución de tensiones.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To clinically evaluate biofilm growth on 4 liners in complete denture base surfaces of 20 geriatric patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Patients received new complete maxillary dentures prepared with 4 chambers (10x10x2 mm) in the tissue surface of acrylic denture base. Each of the 4 chambers was randomly filled with the following denture liners: Eversoft (M1); Kooliner (M2); GC Reline Extra Soft (M3); Elite Soft Relining (M4). Patients were randomly separated into 2 treatment groups: T1- sanitization with soft brush and dentifrice; T2- similar to T1 with daily immersion in cleansing chemical solution (Ortoform). Patients had 8 follow-up sessions over a 3-month period. The internal denture surface was stained with a dental plaque dye at each of the follow-up visits. Standardized photographs were taken, and biofilm growth was scored. Data were tabulated and submitted to Analysis of Variance. Means were compared by Tukey (p<0.05) and T tests. RESULTS: Kooliner (M2) means were significantly different from the others for both groups T1 and T2. Treatment 1 promoted higher biofilm growth scores than treatment 2. The highest score after treatment 1 was Kooliner (M2) and the lowest was Elite Soft Relining (M4). As for treatment 2, Eversoft (M1) was statistically different from Elite Soft Relining (M4). Again, Kooliner (M2) presented the highest score and Elite Soft Relining (M4) the lowest. Kooliner (M2) was statistically different from both GC Reline Extra Soft (M3) and Elite Soft Relining (M4). CONCLUSION: Of the materials and treatments studied, the best clinical selection for lower biofilm growth scores would be Elite Soft Relining (M4) with treatment 2.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: A proper cast is essential for a successful rehabilitation with implant prostheses, in order to produce better structures and induce less strain on the implants. Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the precision of four different mold filling techniques and verify an accurate methodology to evaluate these techniques. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 casts were obtained from a metallic matrix simulating three unit implant-retained prostheses. The molds were filled using four different techniques in four groups (n = 10): Group 1 - Single-portion filling technique; Group 2 - Two-step filling technique; Group 3 - Latex cylinder technique; Group 4 - Joining the implant analogs previously to the mold filling. A titanium framework was obtained and used as a reference to evaluate the marginal misfit and tension forces in each cast. Vertical misfit was measured with an optical microscope with an increase of 120 times following the single-screw test protocol. Strain was quantified using strain gauges. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA (Tukey's test) (α =0.05). The correlation between strain and vertical misfit was evaluated by Pearson test. Results: The misfit values did not present statistical difference (P = 0.979), while the strain results showed statistical difference between Groups 3 and 4 (P = 0.027). Conclusions: The splinting technique was considered to be as efficient as the conventional technique. The strain gauge methodology was accurate for strain measurements and cast distortion evaluation. There was no correlation between strain and marginal misfit.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: presentar un caso de rehabilitación con implante único en el maxilar anterior con un abutment de zirconia personalizado y mostrar que la elección de este material constituye una opción para conseguir la armonía de la sonrisa. Caso clínico: un paciente de sexo masculino, de 28 años de edad, consultó en busca de una alternativa para llenar la ausencia de la pieza 11, dado que la prótesis que llevaba era estéticamente insatisfactoria. El abutment fue confeccionado en el centro de mecanizado Cubo (San Pablo, Brasil). El índice del abutment synOcta (Straumann Brasil, San Pablo, Brasil) fue escaneado con el programa Dental Wings Client v.2.0.1 (Henry Schein Company, Melville, NY, Estados Unidos). La corona y la carilla libre de metal de disilicato de litio, le otorgaron armonía, forma, color, textura superficial y translucidez incisal, respecto a la pieza dentaria contralateral. Conclusión: los abutments de zirconia constituyen una alternativa útil en los casos que requieren estética, pues proporcionan un color satisfactorio y acorde a la sonrisa, además de una mayor resistencia a la fractura, lo cual elimina la necesidad del empleo de metal.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the tensile and flexural strength of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welds in specimens made of commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) compared with laser welds. Sixty cylindrical specimens (2 mm diameter x 55 mm thick) were randomly assigned to 3 groups for each test (n=10): no welding (control), TIG welding (10 V, 36 A, 8 s) and Nd:YAG laser welding (380 V, 8 ms). The specimens were radiographed and subjected to tensile and flexural strength tests at a crosshead speed of 1.0 mm/min using a load cell of 500 kgf applied on the welded interface or at the middle point of the non-welded specimens. Tensile strength data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey's test, and flexural strength data by the Kruskal-Wallis test (α=0.05). Non-welded specimens presented significantly higher tensile strength (control=605.84±19.83) (p=0.015) and flexural strength (control=1908.75) (p=0.000) than TIG- and laser-welded ones. There were no significant differences (p>0.05) between the welding types for neither the tensile strength test (TIG=514.90±37.76; laser=515.85±62.07) nor the flexural strength test (TIG=1559.66; laser=1621.64). As far as tensile and flexural strengths are concerned, TIG was similar to laser and could be suitable to replace laser welding in implant-supported rehabilitations.


Este estudo avaliou a resistência à tração e à flexão de soldas feitas com gás inerte de tungstênio (TIG) em amostras de titânio comercialmente puro (Ti CP) em comparação com a solda a laser. Sessenta amostras cilíndricas (diâmetro de 2 mm e espessura de 55 mm) foram distribuídas aleatoriamente em três grupos para cada ensaio (n=10): sem solda (controle), solda TIG (10V, 36A, 8 s) e solda com laser de Nd:YAG (380 V, 8 ms). As amostras foram radiografadas e submetidas aos testes de resistência à tração e à flexão em máquina de ensaios mecânicos à velocidade de 1mm/min com célula de carga de 500 kgf aplicada na interface soldada ou no ponto médio das amostras controle. Os dados de resistência à tração foram analisados estatisticamente por ANOVA e teste de Tukey e os dados de resistência à flexão pelo teste de Kruskal-Wallis (α=0,05). Espécimes não-soldados apresentaram resistência à tração (controle=605,84±19,83) (p=0,015) e resistência à flexão (controle=1908,75) (p=0,000) significantemente maiores que os solados com TIG ou laser. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante (p>0.05) entre os tipos de solda no teste de resistência à tração (TIG=514,90±37,76; laser=515,85±62,07) nem no teste de resistência à flexão (TIG=1559,66; laser=1621,64). As resistências à tração e à flexão foram similares quando as amostras foram soldadas com TIG e a laser.

ABSTRACT

Lack of passivity has been associated with biomechanical problems in implant-supported prosthesis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the passivity of three techniques to fabricate an implant framework from a Co-Cr alloy by photoelasticity. The model was obtained from a steel die simulating an edentulous mandible with 4 external hexagon analog implants with a standard platform. On this model, five frameworks were fabricated for each group: a monoblock framework (control), laser and TIG welding frameworks. The photoelastic model was made from a flexible epoxy resin. On the photoelastic analysis, the frameworks were bolted onto the model for the verification of maximum shear stress at 34 selected points around the implants and 5 points in the middle of the model. The stresses were compared all over the photoelastic model, between the right, left, and center regions and between the cervical and apical regions. The values were subjected to two-way ANOVA, and Tukey's test (α=0.05). There was no significant difference among the groups and studied areas (p>0.05). It was concluded that the stresses generated around the implants were similar for all techniques.


Resumo A falta de passividade tem sido associada a problemas biomecânicos em próteses implantossuportadas. A proposta deste estudo foi avaliar, por meio da fotoelasticidade, a influência de três diferentes de fabricação de infraestrutura em liga de Co-Cr na passividade destas. O modelo foi obtido a partir de uma matriz de aço simulando uma mandíbula edêntula com 4 análogos de implantes de hexágono externo com plataforma padrão. Neste modelo, foram confeccionados cinco amostras para cada grupo: infraestruturas em monobloco, infraestruturas soldadas a laser e soldadas a TIG. O modelo fotoelástico foi feito com uma resina epóxi flexível (GIII, Polipox Industria e Comercio Ltda.). Na análise fotoelástica, as infraestruturas foram aparafusadas no modelo para a verificação da tensão de cisalhante máxima em 34 pontos selecionados ao redor dos implantes e 5 pontos na região média do modelo. Foram comparadas as tensões em todo o modelo fotoelástico, entre as regiões direita, esquerda e centro e também entre as regiões cervical e apical. Os valores foram submetidos à análise de variância a dois critérios, seguido pelo teste de Tukey (α=0,05). Os resultados não mostraram diferença significativa entre as tensões presentes nos grupos e nas áreas estudadas. Conclui-seque as tensões geradas ao redor dos implantes foram semelhantes entre as diferentes técnicas de confecção e entre todas as regiões analisadas. .

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: This study evaluated the microleakage at the implant/abutment interface of external hexagon (eH) implants and abutments with different amounts of bacteria and tightening torques. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A bacterial suspension was prepared to inoculate the implants. The first phase of this study used nine EH implants and abutments that were divided into three groups with different amounts of bacterial suspension (n=3): V0.5: 0.5 µL; V1.0: 1.0 µL e V1.5: 1.5 µL, and tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque. The second phase of this experiment used 27 assemblies that were similar to those used in the first phase. These samples were inoculated with 0.5 µL of bacterial suspension and divided into three groups (n=9). T10: 10 Ncm; T20: 20 Ncm and T32: 32 Ncm. The samples were evaluated according to the turbidity of the broth every 24 hours for 14 days, and the bacteria viability was tested after that period. The statistical evaluation was conducted by Kruskal-Wallis testing (p<.05). RESULTS: During the first phase, groups V1.0 and V1.5 was presented with bacterial contamination in all samples after 24 h. During the second phase, two samples from group T10 and one from T20 presented positive results for bacterial contamination. Different amounts of bacterial solution led to overflow and contamination during the first 24 h of the experiment. The tightening torques did not statistically affect the microleakage in the assemblies. However, the group that was tightened to 32 Ncm torque did not show any bacterial contamination. CONCLUSION: After 14 days of experimentation, the bacteria were proven to remain viable inside the implant internal cavity.

ABSTRACT

Reabilitações protéticas sobre implantes ainda é um desafio para Odontologia. Existem situações em que os implantes são colocados em locais não compatíveis com o posicionamento dos dentes no arco, sendo necessário utilizar compensações protéticas capazes de corrigir essa dificuldade. Este trabalho tem como objetivo, relatar um caso clínico que apresenta uma opção protética para compensar o mau posicionamento dos implantes, pelo uso de uma mesoestrutura metálica. O paciente apresentava uma deformação óssea na região anterior de maxila onde foram instalados quatro implantes, posicionados de tal forma que os acessos aos parafusos protéticos ocorriam em áreas estética e biomecanicamente desfavoráveis. Portanto, foi planejado a confecção de uma mesoestrutura metálica, alterando a região de acesso aos parafusos protéticos, o que proporcionou ótimo resultado estético e satisfação do paciente.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a precisão de três técnicas de preenchimento do molde com gesso para obtenção de modelos de trabalho a partir de um modelo mestre simulando uma situação clínica de uma prótese fixa implanto-retida de três elementos. Materiais e métodos: Foram obtidos trinta modelos (n = 10) a partir do modelo mestre, por meio de três técnicas de preenchimento do molde com gesso. Assim, o Grupo 1 foi obtido pela técnica de preenchimento único (PU); o Grupo 2, pelo preenchimento do molde com gesso em duas porções (DP); o Grupo 3, utilizando-se a técnica do cilindro de latex (CL). Sobre a matriz metálica foi obtida uma infraestrutura fundida em titânio comer-cialmente puro simulando uma prótese fixa implanto-retida de três elementos, utilizada como referência para a avaliação de desajustes verticais em cada modelo. O desajuste vertical foi avaliado segundo a técnica do parafuso único. Para a análise dos resultados foi aplicada a análise de variância, seguida do teste de Tukey. Resultados: De acordo com os resultados obtidos, observou-se maior valor médio entre as amostras do grupo em que o molde foi preenchido com gesso pela técnica do preenchimento único (média = 0,14), ao passo que as amostras dos grupos 2 e 3 apresentaram os mesmos valores médios (média = 0,10). Porém, de acordo com o teste de Tukey, não houve diferença estatística entre os três diferentes grupos de tratamento. Conclusão: Assim, pode-se afirmar que as três técnicas foram eficientes, sendo, de acordo com a praticidade, a mais indicada a técnica de preenchimento único.

ABSTRACT

Widely used in dentistry, Ti-6Al-4V alloy is difficult to cast and solder, as it frequently exhibits pores inside the structure. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of joint openings and diameters of laser-welded joints executed in Ti-6Al-4V structures on the presence of pores as checked by radiographic procedures. Sixty dumbbell rods with central diameters of 1.5, 2.0 and 3.5 mm were created from Ti-6Al-4V-wrought bars. Specimens were sectioned and welded using two joint openings (0.0 and 0.6 mm). The combination of variables created six groups (n = 10). Laser welding was executed using 360V/8ms (1.5 and 2.0 mm) and 380V/9ms (3.5 mm), with the focus and frequency set to zero. The joints were finished, polished and submitted to radiographic examination. The radiographs were visually examined for the presence of pores in the joints, qualitatively. The percentage of radiographic presence of pores was calculated without counting pores per joint. Data were analyzed using a chi-square test (α = 0.05). For the 1.5-mm specimens, the incidence of pore presence was significantly higher (p = 0.0001) when using 0.6-mm joint openings (40 percent) compared to 0.0-mm openings (0 percent). For the 2.0-mm specimens, there was no significant difference between groups (p = 0.2008). However, for the 3.5-mm specimens, the incidence of pore presence was lower (p = 0.0061) for 0.6-mm openings (50 percent) compared to 0.0-mm openings (70 percent). Therefore, laser welding of Ti-6Al-4V structures with thin diameters provides the best condition for the juxtaposition of the parts.

ABSTRACT

Esse estudo foi conduzido para avaliar a possibilidade de visualização de porosidade interna em radiografias periapicais de uniões soldadas a laser, confeccionadas em estruturas de titânio (Ti) comercialmente puro (cp), em diferentes situações de soldagem. Foram confeccionados halteres em resina acrílica, com diâmetros centrais de 1,5; 2,0; e 3,5 mm, por meio de uma matriz metálica bipartida. Os halteres em resina foram fundidos em Ti cp e após acabamento e polimento, seccionados em duas partes iguais. As partes foram alinhadas e fixadas de tal forma que as distâncias entre elas fossem 0,0 e 0,6 mm. A combinação entre as variáveis (distância de soldagem e diâmetro dos halteres) gerou seis grupos (n=10). A soldagem a laser foi realizada com as seguintes especificações: 360V/8ms (1,5 e 2,0 mm) e 380V/9ms (3,5 mm), com foco e freqüência regulados em zero, em um aparelho de soldagem a laser Desktop-F. As uniões obtidas receberam acabamento, polimento e foram submetidas à análise radiográfica com exposição à radiação (90 KV, 15 mA, 0,6 seg e 10 a 13 mm de distância) utilizando filme periapical. As radiografias foram analisadas visualmente quanto à presença de porosidade nas uniões soldadas, e os dados obtidos, submetidos ao teste Qui-Quadrado (5%). Com isso, verificou-se ser possível visualizar porosidade interna nessas uniões. Em corpos de prova de menores diâmetros, 1,5 e 2,0 mm, a incidência é maior quando a distância é 0,6 mm. Entretanto, em corpos de prova de 3,5 mm, a incidência é alta para ambas as uniões, não diferindo estatisticamente entre si.


This study was conducted to evaluate the possibility of porosity inspection in laser-weld joints executed in cp titanium structures, by radiographic analyses. Sixty acrylic dumbbells rods with 1.5, 2.0 and 3.5 mm central diameter were prepared by lost-wax casting procedure. The casted specimens were finished, polished and sectioned in two halves. The parts were lined up in a metal matrix and fixed according two welding distances (0.0 and 0.6 mm). The combination between diameter and welding distance created a total of six groups (n = 10). The laser welding was executed as follows: 360V/8ms (1.5 and 2.0 mm) and 380V/9ms (3.5 mm) with focus and frequency regulated to zero. The achieved joints were finished, polished and submitted to radiographic examination (90 KV, 15 mA, 0.6 second and 10 to 13 mm of distance) with periapical film. The radiographies were visually analyzed for the presence of internal porosity in the joints. The data was submitted to Chi-Square test (5%). Herewith, it was possible to visualize internal porosity in the analyzed joints. In thin specimens, 1.5 and 2.0 mm, the porosity incidence was higher when the joint distance was 0.6 mm. However, in 3.5 mm specimens, this incidence was high for both joint openings.

ABSTRACT

Aim: This study used a photoelastic analysis to evaluate the passive fit of titanium cast laserwelding frameworks before and after spark erosion procedure. Methods: A stainless steel castwas used in order to reproduce a human mandible. Five Multi-Unit abutment analogs wereattached to this cast and 6 frameworks were produced in commercial pure titanium. The cast wasmolded and a photoelastic matrix was produced incorporating 5 dental implants with Multi-Unitabutments. All samples were subjected to a laser welding. The precision of adjustments within arange of 0.5 ìm was evaluated under microscope observation. The best fitted framework wasselected and subjected to a photoelastic analysis (Group I). The tightening of the screws was in 3predetermined sequences (1,2,3,4,5/ 5,4,3,2,1/ 3,2,4,1,5). Then the same framework wassubjected to a refinement by spark erosion technique (Group II) and evaluated by photoelasticanalysis. Results: The sequence (3,2,4,1,5) achieved better results in both groups. A largernumber of fringes were observed around the median implants in all sequences in both groups.Conclusions: The titanium cast laser welded frameworks processes associated with spark erosionprocedure improves significantly the marginal framework adaptation and is effective for its passive fit.

ABSTRACT

This study evaluated the influence of retorque on loosening torque (Lt) of prosthetic screws in implant-supported dentures with different fit levels. Ten mandibular implant-supported dentures were fabricated and then 20 cast models were then prepared using prosthetic structures to create 2 fit levels: passive fit (Pf) and misfit (Mf). Two tightening techniques were also evaluated: initial torque only (T1); and initial torque and retorque after 10 min (T2). Gold or titanium screws were used, resulting in 4 groups to each one: Pf/T1, Pf/T2, Mf/T1, Mf/T2. The Lt was measured 24 h after the tightening torque using digital torque meter. Data were analyzed statistically by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (α=0.05), separately for each screw material. For titanium screws, no significant difference (p>0.05) was found between Pf/T1 and Pf/T2, or between Pf/T2 and Mf/T2. However, statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was found between Pf/T1 and Mf/T1, and between Mf/T1 and Mf/T2. Mf reduced the Lt using T1, while and T2 increased the Lt for Mf. Retorque and fit were shown to have no significant influence on the Lt of the gold screws. Retorque application made insignificant the misfit effect on the Lt of the titanium screws, suggesting that this procedure should be performed routinely during the screw tightening in multi-unit dentures.


Este estudo avaliou a influência do retorque no Ta dos parafusos protéticos em próteses implantossuportadas com diferentes níveis de adaptação. Foram confeccionadas 10 próteses mandibulares implantossuportadas. Vinte modelos de gesso foram fabricados utilizando as estruturas protéticas para criar os 2 níveis de adaptação: adaptação passiva (AP) e desajuste (D). Foram avaliadas 2 técnicas de aperto do parafuso: inicial torque (T1); e inicial torque e retorque após 10 min (T2). Foram usados parafusos de ouro e titânio, resultando em 4 grupos para cada material do parafuso: AP/T1, AP/T2, D/T1, D/T2. O Ta foi mensurado 24 h após o torque de aperto utilizando torquímetro digital. Os resultados foram analisados pela ANOVA (2 fatores) e teste de Tukey (α=0,05), separadamente para cada material dos parafusos. Para os parafusos de titânio, não foi encontrada diferença estatística significante entre AP/T1 e AP/T2, ou AP/T2 e D/T2; porém, diferença significante foi encontrada entre AP/T1 e D/T1, ou D/T1 e D/T2. Onde, D reduziu a Ta utilizando T1; e T2 aumentou o Ta para D. Retorque e adaptação não apresentaram influência significante no Ta dos parafusos de ouro. A aplicação do retorque tornou insignificante o efeito do desajuste no Ta dos parafusos de titânio, sugerindo que este procedimento deveria ser usado rotineiramente durante os parafusos protéticos de titânio em próteses múltiplas.

ABSTRACT

A proposta deste trabalho foi avaliar cinco técnicas de transferência em implantes osseointegrados. Cinco grupos foram testados: GI: transferentes quadrados unidos com resina acrílica Duralay (Reliance. Dental Mfg Co-Worth, IL - EUA) em monobloco; GII: transferentes quadrados unidos com resina acrílica Duralay e seccionamento; GIII: transferentes quadrados unidos com resina acrílica Pattern Resin (GC America - Alsip, IL - EUA) em monobloco; GIV: transferentes quadrados unidos com resina acrílica Pattern Resin e seccionamento; GV: transferentes quadrados unidos com Pattern Resin e haste metálica. Foram utilizados blocos de resina fotoelástica, compostos de dois implantes cada, simulando uma prótese fixa posterior de três elementos. Os transferentes foram entrelaçados com fio dental e, em seguida, unidos com as resinas acrílicas, ou apenas resina e haste metálica. A análise das tensões geradas sobre os implantes foi realizada com o auxílio de um polariscópio circular acoplado a uma câmera digital fotográfica. Foram avaliadas as regiões cervicais e apicais dos implantes por meio de análise qualitativa das franjas fotoelásticas geradas após a união dos transferentes. O grupo que apresentou o maior número de tensões foi o grupo de resina Duralay em monobloco, seguido pelo grupo de resina Pattern Resin em monobloco. Para os demais grupos não foram observadas tensões visíveis a olho nu. Concluiu-se que as técnicas de transferência com reforço metálico e de seccionamento geraram menores tensões sobre os implantes.


Duralay (Reliance Dental Mfg. Co., Worth, IL, USA); GII, square transfer with acrylic resin Duralay (Reliance Dental Mfg. Co., Worth, IL, USA) and sectioning; GIII, square transfer with en bloc acrylic pattern resin; GIV, square transfer with pattern resin and sectioning; and GV, square transfer with pattern resin and a metal rod. Blocks of photoelastic resin were used, each composed of two implants simulating a posterior fixed prosthesis with three elements. The transferors were intertwined with dental floss and then united with either the acrylic resin or resin combined with a metal rod. Theanalyses of the stresses generated on the implants were performed with the aid of a circular polariscope coupled with a digital camera. The evaluation was performed on the cervical and apical implants by quality analyses of the photoelastic fringes generated after the union of the transferors. The group with the largest number of stresses was the acrylic resin Duralay en bloc group, followed by the en bloc acrylic pattern resin group. The other groups showed no tensions visible to the naked eye. It was concluded that the transfer techniques with strengthened sectioning and a metal rod generated less tension on the implants

ABSTRACT

A indução de tensões ao implante e ao tecido ósseo peri-implantar pode ser responsável pela reabsorção tecidual e pela perda do implante. Próteses com o mínimo desajuste marginal são desejadas, acreditando-se na geração de menores valores de tensão às fixações .No entanto, não se tem certeza desta correlação, uma vez que a literatura não apresenta resultados confiáveis que venham a elucidar tal aspecto. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar se existe correlação entre os valores de desajuste marginal e de tensão gerados às fixações pelo parafusamento de infraestruturas implanto-retidas. Foram obtidas dez infraestruturas em titânio fundido, utilizando-se matriz metálica contendo dois implantes conectados a pilares cônicos para construções múltiplas. As infraestruturas foram aleatoriamente avaliadas quanto aos desajustes marginais mediante o teste do parafuso único e observação em microscópio ótico(120X). As tensões nas fixações foram avaliadas por extensometria. A média de desajuste marginal foi 118,07(58,61) μm e a média de tensão, 580,06 (253,93) gf.O teste de Pearson foi utilizado, mostrando não haver correlação entre desajuste marginal e tensão (-0,072),com p = 0,842. A presença e a intensidade do desajuste marginal, por si só, não são indicadores seguros no prognóstico da geração de tensões às fixações
