ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of a fluoridated medium on the mechanical properties of an internal hexagon implant-abutment set, by means of compression, mechanical cycling and metallographic characterization by scanning electronic microscopy. Five years of regular use of oral hygiene with a sodium fluoride solution content of 1500 ppm were simulated, immersing the samples in this medium for 184 hours, with the solutions being changed every 12 hours. Data were analyzed at a 95 percent confidence level with Fisher's exact test. After the action of fluoride ions, a negative influence occurred in the mechanical cycling test performed in a servohydraulic machine (Material Test System-810) set to a frequency of 15 Hz with 100,000 cycles and programmed to 60 percent of the maximum resistance of static compression test. The sets tended to fracture by compression on the screw, characterized by mixed ruptures with predominance of fragile fracture, as observed by microscopy. An evidence of corrosion by pitting on sample surfaces was found after the fluoride ions action. It may be concluded that prolonged contact with fluoride ions is harmful to the mechanical properties of commercially pure titanium structures.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar la influencia de un medio fluorado en la fractura del conjunto implante/pilar en sistemas de hexágono externo. La fractura fue producida por fatiga de bajo ciclo, analizándose la superficie mediante microscopía electrónica de barrido (MEB). Se simularon cinco años de uso regular de productos de higiene oral conteniendo 1.500 ppm de NaF, pH 6,8. Este contacto prolongado con fluoruros influenció negativamente el desempeño a la fatiga de bajo ciclo realizada en una máquina de ensayos mecánicos MTS-810 programada a 100.000 ciclos, 15 Hz, con 30 por ciento y 60 por ciento de valores de stress máximos en tracción y comprensión no axial, respectivamente. Al análisis a través del MEB reveló signos de corrosión superficial del titanio en el grupo test. Se concluyó que el contacto prolongado con fluoruro afecta el desempeño mecánico y puede contribuir a desarrollar fracturas, cuando se producen condiciones de sobrecarga sobre estructuras de titanio, lo cual puede disminuir la durabilidad de los componentes.
