ABSTRACT
Preload loss can favor the occurrence of implant-abutment interface misfit, and bacterial colonization at this interface may lead to implant failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the preload loss and bacterial penetration through the implant-abutment interface of conical and external hexagon connection systems subjected to thermal cycling and mechanical fatigue (TM). Four different implant-abutment connection systems were evaluated (n=6) external hexagon with universal post, Morse taper with universal post, Morse taper with universal post through bolt, and locking taper with standard abutment. The assemblies (implant-abutment) were subjected to a thermal cycling regimen (1,000 cycles of 5°C and 55°C) and to mechanical fatigue (1.0 million cycles, 1.0 Hz, 120 N). The assemblies were immersed in Tryptic Soy + Yeast Extract broth containing Streptococcus sanguinis and incubated at 37°C and 10 percent CO2 for 72 h. Detorque values were recorded. The bacterial penetration was assessed and the abutments were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The preload data were analyzed statistically by two-way ANOVA and Tukey’s test at 5 percent significance level. All screw abutment systems showed significantly higher (p<0.05) detorque values when subjected to TM and all conical systems presented bacterial penetration. The results show no relationship between the preload loss and the bacterial penetration.
RESUMO
A perda da pré-carga pode favorecer o desajuste da interface implante-pilar e a colonização bacteriana nesta interface pode levar a perda de implantes. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a perda de pré-carga e a infiltração bacteriana através da interface implante-pilar de sistemas de conexão cônica e hexágono externo, submetidos à ciclagem térmica e fadiga mecânica (CF). Quatro diferentes sistemas de conexão implante-pilar foram avaliados (n=6) hexágono externo com munhão universal, cone Morse com munhão universal, cone Morse com munhão universal parafuso passante e cônica justaposição com pilar padrão. Os espécimes (implante-pilar) foram submetidos à ciclagem térmica (1000 ciclos a 5°C e 55°C) e à fadiga mecânica (1,0 milhão de ciclos, 1,0 Hz, 120 N). Os espécimes foram imersos em caldo Tryptic Soy + Yeast Extract contendo Streptococcus sanguinis e incubados a 37°C e 10 por cento de CO2 por 72 h. Os valores de destorque foram registrados. A infiltração bacteriana foi avaliada e os pilares foram observados por microscopia eletrônica de varredura. Os dados de pré-carga foram analisados estatisticamente por ANOVA a dois critérios e teste de Tukey, com nível de significância de 5 por cento. Todos os sistemas de pilares parafusados apresentaram maiores valores de destorque quando submetidos à CF (p<0,05) e todos os sistemas cônicos apresentaram infiltração bacteriana. Os resultados mostram que não houve relação entre a perda da pré-carga e a infiltração bacteriana.
