Os grupos experimentais foram: I- overdenture retida por um implante colocado na linha média da mandíbula; II- overdenture retida por dois implantes distantes 20 mm entre si; III- overdenture retida por três implantes, com o central colocado na linha média da mandíbula e os restantes distantes 18 mm de cada lado; e IV- overdenture retida por quatro implantes distantes 12 mm entre si. Para o estudo foi confeccionada uma prótese overdenture mandibular para cada grupo experimental e uma prótese total superior convencional, possibilitando que a análise fotoelástica fosse conduzida com as próteses se relacionando em máxima intercuspidação habitual. Foram feitos carregamentos axiais de 10, 20 e 30 kgf em cada modelo fotoelástico mandibular. Também foi realizado carregamento na oclusal dos primeiros molares direito e esquerdo de cada modelo com mesma intensidade de carga, para simular o efeito da mastigação. Dois tipos de avaliação foram conduzidos: qualitativa, por meio da análise das imagens obtidas com fotografias do modelo em polariscópio, e quantitativa, com as imagens analisadas no programa FRINGES. A análise qualitativa mostrou que a distribuição das tensões no Grupo I foi diferente dos Grupos II, III e IV, com maior quantidade de franjas concentradas na região posterior da mandíbula. O grupo IV apresentou melhor distribuição de tensão quando comparado aos Grupos II e III. Na análise quantitativa, a overdenture retida por um implante (Grupo I) mostrou valores de tensão similares aos Grupos II, III e IV. Com base nesses resultados pode-se concluir que: em todas as overdentures a tensão se concentrou predominantemente ao redor dos implantes; o aumento do carregamento oclusal ou pontual promoveu aumento das tensões induzidas sobre os implantes; maior tensão foi induzida no lado da aplicação da carga pontual, principalmente, quando a overdenture era suportada por um implante, e a concentração da tensão em overdenture suportada por maior quantidade de implante mostrou distribuição mais homogenia das tensões induzidas / Abstract: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate through photoelastic analysis the behavior of the induced stress in different overdentures. The experimental groups were: I- overdenture retained by one implant placed in the midline of the mandible; II- overdenture retained by two implants 20 mm distant from each other; III- overdenture retained by three implants, with the center placed on the midline of the mandible and the other distant 18 mm on each side; and IV- overdenture retained by four implants 12 mm distant from each other. For the study was made a prosthetic mandibular overdenture for each experimental group and a conventional complete denture, allowing the photoelastic analysis was conducted with the dentures related in maximum intercuspation. Axial loads of 10, 20 and 30 kgf were made in each mandibular photoelastic model. It was also performed on the occlusal loading of the first left and right molars of each model with similar load intensity to simulate the effect of mastication. Two types of evaluation were conducted: qualitative, by analyzing the images from photographs obtained with polariscope, and quantitative, with the images analyzed by the FRINGES program. Qualitative analysis showed that the distribution of tensions in Group I was different from the Groups II, III and IV, showing a higher amount of concentrated fringes on the posterior region of the mandible. Group IV showed better stress distribution when compared to Groups II and III. In the quantitative analysis, the overdenture retained by implant (Group I) showed similar stress values for Groups II, III and IV. Based on these results, it can be concluded that in all overdentures the stresses focused predominantly around the implants; increased single and occlusal loading promoted an increase of induced stresses on the implants; higher stress was induced on the application side, especially when the overdenture was supported by one implant; and stress concentration in overdenture supported by a larger amount of implantation showed more homogeneous stress distribution / Mestrado / Protese Dental / Mestra em Clínica Odontológica

The purpose of this study was to ascertain whether simplifying mandibular overdenture treatment utilising single stage surgery and immediate prosthetic loading of a single implant, will achieve similar implant success rates and functional improvement to that expected using conventional techniques. As part of this study, the Mk III Brånemark implant with an oxidised surface (TiUnite™ Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg, Sweden) was compared to the classical machined Mk III Brånemark fixture.Materials and Methods: 35 patients with a mean age of 68 years and problematic mandibular dentures were treated. The primary complaints among the patients referred to the clinic for treatment related to poor retention of the mandibular denture, instability, denture sores and phonetic problems. Patients were initially placed randomly into the “machined surface” or “oxidised surface” group. A single implant was placed into the mandibular midline with high initial stability. A ball attachment was placed and the retentive cap incorporated into the existing denture. Reviews took place at 3,12 6 6 and 36 months. Clinical assessments, radiographs made with custom film holders, and stability measurements by both manual and resonance frequency analysis methods were recorded. All complications, failures, maintenance and reasons for dropout were noted. Visual analogue scale questionnaires were utilised to record patient satisfaction. (ANOVA p<.05) Results: Three out of 8 machined surface implants failed, representing an unacceptably high failure rate (37.5%). The machined surface was therefore discontinued for this study. Three oxidised surface implants did not achieve sufficient primary stability to be immediately loaded, so were treated with a two stage delayed loading protocol. The 25 immediately loaded oxidised surface implants were all classified as surviving at the 36-month recall. Patient satisfaction was very high with a significant increase in all comfort and functional parameters. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study and research design, it appears that the immediately loaded single implant retained mandibular overdenture, using an oxidised implant surface in a small group of maladaptive patients, can provide a beneficial treatment outcome over a three year observation period. If insufficient stability at insertion is not achieved for immediate loading, then a delayed loading protocol should be utilised.
