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.
RESUMO
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.
