Comparison of 7 luting protocols and their effect on the retention and marginal leakage of a cement-retained dental implant restoration.

PURPOSE: To determine the cement bond strength and marginal leakage of castings cemented to implant abutments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-six titanium abutments and castings were divided into 7 groups (n=8), 1 for each cement. Castings were cemented to abutments using 1 of 3 resin-based cements (RES, RES-B, and RES-B-P), a resin-modified glass ionomer (GI), a polycarboxylate cement (PCB), an acrylic urethane cement (UDM), or a zinc phosphate cement (ZP). Specimens were placed in 100% humidity at 37 degrees C for 24 hours. Specimens were subjected to compressive load cycling followed by thermal cycling; they were then immersed for 24 hours in 0.5% basic fuchsin. Castings were removed with an Instron universal testing machine with a crosshead speed of 0.125 cm/min. Leakage was visually graded from 0 (no leakage) to 2 (leakage extended beyond the lower half of the internal surface of the casting). Failure load (FL) was analyzed with analysis of variance and Scheffe's test (alpha = .05). Chi-square was used to analyze leakage (alpha = .05). RESULTS: Cements were categorized by FL into 4 statistically unique groups: (1) RES-B-P (351 N) and GI (337 N); (2) ZP (245 N) and RES-B (241 N); (3) PCB (107 N); and (4) RES (63 N) and UDM (55 N). Leakage was greater for the PCB group than for the other groups (7 of 8 specimens demonstrated leakage; P < .01). Three ZP specimens demonstrated leakage. UDM and RES each had 1 specimen with leakage. RES-B-P, RES-B, and GI showed no leakage. CONCLUSIONS: Luting agents designated by the manufacturer as provisional cements demonstrated lower resistance to removal, regardless of material type. Luting agents described by manufacturers as "permanent" differed in resistance, with resin cements being most resistant, followed by zinc phosphate and polycarboxylate cements. Provisional cements demonstrated leakage comparable to higher-strength materials.

A study of histological responses from Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy dental implants with and without plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coating in dogs.

Titanium alloys are hoped to be used much more for applications as implant materials in the medical and dental fields because of their basic properties, such as biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and specific strength compared with other metallic implant materials. Thus, the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy that has recently been developed for biomedical use, that is, primarily developed for orthopaedic use, is to be studied in this paper, for application in dental implants. The biocompatibility test in vivo was carried out in dogs and the osseointegration was verified through histological analysis of the samples of the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy with and without hydroxyapatite coating that were inserted in the alveoli. Within the controlled conditions the samples did not show any toxic effects on the cells.

Analysis of strain around endosseous dental implants opposing natural teeth or implants.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Natural teeth and implants have different force transmission characteristics to bone. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare strains induced around a natural tooth opposing an implant with strains around occluding implants under static and dynamic loads. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Occlusion was created between a natural molar tooth and an implant in 1 side, and 2 implants in the contralateral side of acrylic resin models of both jaws. Strain-gauges were bonded around the neck of the natural tooth and implants, and strains were measured under 75 N and 100 N static axial and lateral dynamic loads in separate load situations using a data acquisition system at sample rate of 1000 Hz. The strain data of the natural tooth and implants were compared for each load by Kruskal-Wallis testing followed by the multiple comparison test (alpha=.05). RESULTS: Compressive strains were induced around natural tooth and implants as a result of static axial loading, whereas combinations of compressive and tensile strains were observed during lateral dynamic loading. Strains around the natural tooth were significantly lower than the opposing implant and occluding implants in the contralateral side for most regions under all loading conditions ( P <.05). There was a general tendency for increased strains around the implant opposing natural tooth under higher loads and particularly under lateral dynamic loading ( P <.05). CONCLUSION: Under static and dynamic loads, strain magnitudes around a natural tooth were significantly lower than that of an opposing implant and occluding implants in the contralateral side.

Osseointegration of dental implants in bone irradiated with 40, 50 or 60 gy doses. An experimental study with beagle dogs.

Construction of different kinds of prostheses on irradiated bone tissues after tumour surgery is a complicated part of modern implantology. In irradiated regions of the jaws where the bone layers are thin and the blood supply also is minimal, knowledge of the impact of each dose of radiation is very important. The aim of this study was to compare the bone response around titanium implants loaded with fixed bridges in dog mandibles irradiated with total doses of 40, 50 or 60 Gy. The results suggest that after irradiation with 40-50 Gy, when the dose is fractioned in order to achieve higher tolerance of the tissues compared with single dose irradiation, titanium implants may become osseointegrated in the mandibles. For high success rates, however, careful planning of radiotherapy and selection of implantation site with an adequate blood supply are essential.

[Possibilities for improvement of the surface properties of dental implants (2). The use of ceramic oxides in surface coating for titanium and tantalum implants].

A corrosion-resistant, 2000-2500 A thick, ceramic oxide layer with a coherent crystalline structure was produced on the surface of titanium implants. The layer contains a bioactive component, it is made from the material of the implant, adheres well and gives an aesthetically pleasant impression. The coated implants were subjected to various physical, chemical electronmicroscopic, etc. tests for their qualitative characterization. These tests demonstrated the good properties of the implants. The procedure is protected internationally by patents.
