ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: The study was aimed at comparing implants installed with guided and conventional surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty-nine total edentulous patients were selected, and maxillary contralateral quadrants were randomly assigned to static computer-aided implant surgery (S-CAIS): flapless computer-guided surgery, and conventional surgery (CS): flap surgery with conventional planning. Tomography scans were performed at baseline and 10 days after the surgery for deviation measurement, and radiography was done at baseline and after 6 and 12 months, for peri-implant bone level (PIBL) analysis. Peri-implant fluid and subgingival biofilm were collected to evaluate bone markers and periodontal pathogens. RESULTS: S-CAIS showed less linear deviation at the apical point and the midpoint and less angular deviation (p < 0.05), with greater depth discrepancy in the positioning of the platform (p < 0.05). Higher values of vertical PIBL were observed for the S-CAIS group at baseline (p < 0.05), while lower values of horizontal PIBL were observed for CS (p < 0.05). Bone markers and Tf presented higher levels in CS (p < 0.05). Flapless S-CAIS allowed smaller linear and angular deviations than the conventional technique. CONCLUSION: However, PIBL was higher in S-CAIS; the conventional technique led to a greater angiogenic and bone remodeling activity by elevating the angiogenic levels and bone markers. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Evaluating the different implant insertion techniques can guide clinical and surgical regarding the accuracy, the release pattern of bone markers, and the peri-implant bone level. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ReBEC-RBR-8556fzp.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar, por meio de microscopia eletrônica de varredura após ciclagem mecânica, a interface implante/pilar de um sistema de encaixe cone-morse. Quatro implantes, com sistema de encaixe do tipo cone-morse, receberam um pilar protético sólido, parafusado seguindo as recomendações de torque do fabricante (25 Ncm). As amostras receberam 345.600 ciclos em uma máquina de ensaio de fadiga, cuja carga aplicada foi de 80 N e frequência de 4 Hz. Estes implantes foram levados ao Microscópio Eletrônico de Varredura (MEV) e 32 imagens (16 imagens pré-ciclagem e 16 pós-ciclagem) das interfaces foram realizadas com aumentos de 1.000 e 5.000 vezes. As fendas marginais das interfaces, pré e pós-ciclagem mecânica, foram mensuradas com o auxílio de um software apropriado (Image Pró-plus 4.1). Os dados obtidos foram analisados pelo teste t Student (p = 0,05). Pelas análises morfológicas e estatísticas foi possível verificar diferenças significantes entre as tomadas de imagens, antes e depois do teste de ciclagem mastigatória simulada, em que o sistema de cone-morse obteve média das fendas pré-ciclagem mecânica de 3,34 ± 2,17 µm e média das fendas pós-ciclagem mecânica de 1,35 ± 0,64 µm. Desta forma, foi possível concluir que após a ciclagem mecânica, houve diminuição significativa da extensão do gap e da conexão pilar/implante do sistema cone-morse, com melhor adaptação e capacidade de selamento ao nível do microgap
The aim of this study was to measure and compare the implant-abutment interface of a Morse taper fitting system before and after cyclic loading. Four implants with tapered connections received an abutment solid screwed according to manufacturers recommendations (25 Ncm). All samples were subjected to 345,600 cycles using a fatigue-testing machine, under 80 N load and 4Hz frequency. After, 32 images (16 pre-cycling and 16 post-cycling) of these interfaces were investigated by SEM in increments of 1.000 x and 5.000 x. Marginal gaps of these interfaces before and after cyclic were measured with the aid of appropriate software (Image Pro-plus 4.1). Data were analyzed by Student´s t test (p = 0.05). By morphological analysis and statistics, we observed significant differences on the mean interfacial values before (3.34 ± 2.17 µm) and after (1.35 ± 0.64 µm) mechanical tests. Thus, it was possible to observe a significant decrease in gap extension, which determines better adaptation and sealing ability
