Keywords: | dental implant; torque insertion; external connection; internal connection; micromobility; resonance frequency analysis | Issue Date: | 20-Jan-2023 | Publisher: | MDPI | Project: | Spanish government and the Ministry of Science and Innovation of Spain, research project number PDC2022-133628-C22, co-funded by the EU through the European Regional Development Fund (MINECO–FEDER, EU) | Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of Clinical Medicine | Volume: | 12 | Issue: | 3 | Abstract: | The major problems for the osseointegration of dental implants are the loosening of the screw that fixes the dental implant to the abutment and the micromovements that are generated when mechanical loads are applied. In this work, torque differences in the tightening and loosening of the connection screws after 1 cycle, 10 cycles and 1000 cycles for 4 dental implants with 2 external and 2 internal connections were analyzed. The loosening of 240 implants (60 for each system) was determined using high-precision torsimeters and an electromechanical testing machine. A total of 60 dental implants for each of the 4 systems were inserted into fresh bovine bone to determine the micromovements. The implant stability values (ISQ) were determined by RFA. The mechanical loads were performed at 30° from 20 N to 200 N. By means of the Q-star technique, the micromovements were determined. It was observed that, for a few cycles, the loosening of the screw did not exceed a loss of tightening of 10% for both connections. However, for 1000 cycles, the loss for the external connection was around 20% and for the internal connection it was 13%. The micromovements showed a lineal increase with the applied load for the implant systems studied. An external connection presented greater micromotions for each level of applied load and lower ISQ values than internal ones. An excellent lineal correlation between the ISQ and micromobility was observed. These results may be very useful for clinicians in the selection of the type of dental implant, depending on the masticatory load of the patient as well as the consequences of the insertion torque of the dental implant and its revisions. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/113994 | ISSN: | 2077-0383 | DOI: | 10.3390/jcm12030855 | Rights: | openAccess |
