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
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. .
