Im Rahmen der Untersuchungen wurden an 60 auf Implantatabutments zementierten Einzelzahnkronengerüsten aus Zirkoniumdioxid Abzugsversuche durchgeführt, um die zur Dezementierung der Kronengerüste nötigen Kräfte zu ermitteln. Als variable Parameter dienten hierbei drei unterschiedliche Abutmentgeometrien, sowie unterschiedliche Zementsysteme. Mittels des beschriebenen CAD/CAM- Verfahrens wurden die Kronengerüste aus Zirkoniumdioxid hergestellt. Die Zugversuche wurden mit der Universalprüfmaschine Zwick Z007 (Zwick, Ulm) durchgeführt und mittels „TestXpert“ (Software Zwick, Ulm) ausgewertet. Die nötige Kraft, welche zu einem vollständigen Abriss der Zirkoniumdioxidgerüste von dem Implantatabutment führt, wurde in Newton gemessen. In den Ergebnissen zeigt sich eine signifikante Wechselwirkung zwischen den beiden Faktoren Abutmentgeometrie und Zement (p<0.002). Während sich bei dem konfektionierten Abutment kaum ein Unterschied zwischen den Zementarten zeigt (p=0.2495, 95%KI [-26.93,7.45]), sind bei dem individuell niedrigen Abutment für den Zement Telio CS höhere Abzugskräfte nötig (p<0.0001, 95%KI [56.15, 98.01]). Dieser Effekt kehrt sich beim hohen Abutment um (p=0.0008, 95%KI [- 66.26,-20.62]). Es ist hier folglich kein einheitlicher Einfluss des Faktors Zement zu beobachten. Ein möglicher Einfluss auf die Retentionskraft, bzw. das Retentionsverhalten von zementierten Zirkoniumdioxid-Suprakonstruktionen auf Implantatabutments bedingt durch verschiedene Abutmentgeometrien wäre denkbar. Als Schlussfolgerung für die Praxis bestätigten sich die gezeigten Vorteile in der Anwendung von modernen semi-permanenten Kompositzementen für die Befestigung CAD/CAM gefertigter vollkeramischer Restaurationen auf Titanabutments, wobei die Indikation bei individuellen Abutmentgeometrien jeweils kritisch zu stellen ist.

Summary Background The cementation of crowns to dental implant abutments is an accepted form of crown retention that requires consideration of the properties of available cements within the applied clinical context. Most current dental cements were developed primarily for use with natural tooth crowns, but must act in a different manner with implant components. Cements are exposed to a number of stressors that may reduce crown retention in vivo, not the least of which is occlusal loading. This study investigated the influence of compressive cyclic loading on the physical retention of cast crown copings cemented to implant abutments. Method Cast crown copings were cemented to Straumann synOcta titanium implant abutments with three different readily used and available cements. Specimens were placed in a humidifier, thermocycled and subjected to one of four quantities of compressive cyclic loading. The uniaxial tensile force required to remove the cast crown copings was then recorded. Data analysis was conducted using two-way ANOVA and paired post tests. Results Statistical analysis arising from post tests following two-way ANOVA testing revealed the mean retention values for crown copings cemented with Panavia-F cement (5.103, 2.681, 3.178, 2.986MPa) were statistically significantly greater than both KetacCem (0.646, 0.701, 1.083, 0.914MPa) and TempBond non–eugenol (0.074, 0.181, 0.190, 0.303MPa) cements at each compressive cyclic loading quantity. KetacCem and TempBond non–eugenol cements produced relatively low mean retention values that were not statistically significantly different at each quantity of compressive cyclic loading. Compressive cyclic loading had a statistically significant effect on Panavia-F specimens alone, but increased loading quantities produced no further statistically significant difference in mean retention. Compressive cyclic loading had no overriding statistically significant effect on the retention of all specimens as a population. Conclusions Within the limitations of the current in vitro conditions employed in this study, the retention of cast crown copings cemented to Straumann synOcta implant abutments with Panavia-F, KetacCem, and TempBond non-eugenol was significantly affected by cement type but not compressive cyclic loading. Panavia-F is the cement of choice for the definitive non-retrievable cementation of cast crown copings to Straumann synOcta implant abutments out of the three cements tested. The implications of these results relate to the choice of cement to provide the desired crown coping retention. / http://proxy.library.adelaide.edu.au/login?url= http://library.adelaide.edu.au/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=1349966 / Thesis (D.Clin.Dent.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Dentistry, 2008

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Anchorage control is fundamental to successful orthodontic treatment. Dental implants can serve as ideal anchorage units because of their stability in bone. Previous studies limit the use of existing implants for anchorage because of their large size. Minimizing the size of the implant would reduce the extent of the surgery and may result in a decreased and less traumatic healing period. The objective of this study was to histomorphometrically analyze the use of miniature implants. A total of 96 miniature implants (1.0 x 5.0 mm; 48 loaded and 48 healing control) were placed in the mandible and maxilla of 8 male dogs. The implants were allowed to heal for three different periods (3, 6, and 12 weeks) followed by 12 weeks of 200 to 300 g of orthodontic force application. Bone specimens containing implants were collected for histomorphometric analysis. The results indicate that clinical rigidity (osseointegration) was achieved by 96.9 percent of the miniature implants. Histomorphometric analysis revealed that the amount of bone contact at the implant-bone interface ranged from 11.3 to 68 percent (mean ± SEM=34.4 ± 4.6 percent) in the healing control groups and from 18.8 to 63 percent (mean=43.l ± 4.0 percent) in the force applied groups in the maxilla. On the other hand, in the mandible, bone-implant contact ranged from 7 to 82 percent (mean=44.1 ± 6.8 percent) in the healing control groups and from 12 to 72 percent (mean=50.7 ± 5.3 percent) in the force applied groups. Results from bone formation rate, mineralizing surface/bone surface and mineral appositional rate showed a significant difference in the 3-week healing control group compared to those in other groups. From these results, we concluded that miniature implants are able to function as rigid osseous anchorage for orthodontics with minimal (less than 3 weeks) healing period. This study was supported by Matsumoto Research fund.

There has been no attempt made in this paper to compare the results contained herein to any results secured from previous experimental work. The equations presented are complete in themselves. Development of the equations for the abutments has been independent of the angle of skew. Therefore, they may be used with any solution or this type tor a slab of like material and same length knee, skewed at any angle. As a special case, a right rigid-frame bridge could also be analyzed by this method. / Master of Science

Low-strength cellular concrete consists of a cement slurry that is aerated prior to placement. It remains a largely untested material with properties somewhere between those of soil, geofoam, and typical controlled low-strength material (CLSM). The benefits of using this material include its low density, ease of placement, and ability to self-compact. Although the basic laboratory properties of this material have been investigated, little information exists about the performance of this material in the field, much less the passive resistance behavior of this material in the field.In order to evaluate the use of cellular concrete as a backfill material behind bridge abutments, two large-scale tests were conducted. These tests sought to better understand the passive resistance, the movement required to reach this resistance, the failure mechanism, and skew effects for a cellular concrete backfill. The tests used a pile cap with a backwall face 5.5 ft (1.68 m) tall and 11 ft (3.35 m) wide. The backfill area had walls on either side running parallel to the sides of the pile cap to allow the material to fail in a 2D fashion. The cellular concrete backfill for the 30<&degree> skew test had an average wet density of 29.6 pcf (474 kg/m3) and a compressive strength of 57.6 psi (397 kPa). The backfill for the 0<&degree> skew test had an average wet density of 28.6 pcf (458 kg/m3) and a compressive strength of 50.9 psi (351 kPa). The pile cap was displaced into the backfill area until failure occurred. A total of two tests were conducted, one with a 30<&degree> skew wedge attached to the pile cap and one with no skew wedge attached.It was observed that the cellular concrete backfill mainly compressed under loading with no visible failure at the surface. The passive-force curves showed the material reaching an initial peak resistance after movement equal to 1.7-2.6% of the backwall height and then remaining near this strength or increasing in strength with any further deflection. No skew effects were observed; any difference between the two tests is most likely due to the difference in concrete placement and testing.

The objective of this study was to compare effect of surface treatment and fatigue to the retention of zirconia crowns luted to two different heights of titanium abutments. Thirty titanium base 3.5 mm (n = 15) and 5.5 mm in height (n = 15) and thirty zirconia crowns were used. Group A (n = 10), 3.5-mm-height titanium base with no surface treatment; Group B (n = 5), 3.5-mm-height titanium base with surface treatment; Group C (n = 5), 3.5-mm-height titanium base with no surface treatment with fatigue test; Group D (n = 5), 3.5-mm-height titanium base with surface treatment and fatigue test. The identical group allocation was utilized to 5.5-mm-height titanium base groups, Group E, F, G and H respectively. All zirconia crowns and titanium abutments of the groups with surface treatment were particle abraded with 50 μm alumina. All specimens were subjected to a pull-out test. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and the Tukey HSD test. Pull-out retention forces for each group were: Group A: 288 ± 97.5 N, Group B: 198.71 ± 82.94 N, Group C: 537.61 ± 80.13 N, Group D: 600.11 ± 27.23 N, Group E: 240.68 ± 54.33 N, Group F: 270.92 ± 16.43 N, Group G: 707.03 ± 32.30 N, and Group H: 831.19 ± 55.50 N. Particle abrasion of the titanium base significantly increased zirconia crown retention. The height of the titanium base had a significant influence on retention force in particle-abraded groups. The fatigue test did not decrease retention force. / 2018-09-26T00:00:00Z

Os implantes dentários representam uma opção de tratamento com alta previsibilidade de sucesso e sobrevivência. Os excelentes resultados geralmente estão relacionados à estabilidade da crista óssea e à saúde dos tecidos peri-implantares de suporte. O material utilizado para confecção do conector protético parece ter um papel importante no resultado clínico dos implantes em longo prazo. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar longitudinalmente parâmetros clínicos dos tecidos peri-implantares em pacientes reabilitados com próteses unitárias cimentadas sobre conectores de titânio ou zircônia. Foram selecionados 20 participantes que foram reabilitados com implantes dentários e coroas protéticas cimentadas sobre conectores de zircônia (n=10; região anterior da maxila) ou conectores de titânio (n=10; região posterior da maxila/mandíbula). Os parâmetros clínicos: profundidade de sondagem, nível clínico de inserção, recessão gengival, sangramento à sondagem e reabsorção óssea marginal foram coletados nos períodos T0 = baseline (instalação da prótese), T1 = 12 meses, T2 = 24 meses e T3 = 36 meses de função mastigatória. Nenhuma complicação clínica foi observada em ambos os conectores, com taxa de sucesso de 100%. Tanto os materiais avaliados quanto os períodos de investigação propostos apresentaram efeito relativo significante nos parâmetros clínicos avaliados (p &lt; 0,05). Não houve diferença significante em relação à reabsorção óssea marginal total, entre os dois materiais, após 36 meses. Os resultados sugerem manutenção da saúde peri-implantar ao longo do tempo, em ambos os grupos / Dental implants represent a treatment option with high success and survival predictability. The great results usually are related to bone crest stability and peri-implant supporting tissues health. The material used to produce the prosthetic connector seems to play an important role on the long term of implant clinical outcome. The objective of this study was to evaluate longitudinal clinical parameters of peri-implant tissues in patients rehabilitated with unitary prostheses cemented on titanium or zirconia connectors. Were selected twenty participants rehabilitated with dental implants and cemented crowns on zirconia connectors (n = 10, anterior maxilla) or titanium connectors (n = 10, posterior maxilla/ mandible). The clinical parameters: probing depth, connective tissue attachment level, gingival recession, bleeding on probing and marginal bone resorption, were collected in the periods of masticatory function: T0 = baseline (prosthesis installation), T1 = 12 months, T2 = 24 months and T3 = 36 months. No clinical complication was observed in both connectors, with a 100% success rate. The evaluated materials and the investigated periods had a significant relative effect on the clinical parameters evaluated (p &lt; 0.05). There was no significant difference on the total marginal bone resorption between the two materials, after 36 months. The results suggests maintenance of peri-implant health over time, in both groups

Resumo: A união dente-implante ainda gera divergências de opiniões. A proposta deste estudo foi avaliar pelo método da fotoelasticidade a distribuição do stress entre implantes e dentes, nas próteses parciais fixas, comparando conectores rígidos e semi-rígidos e implantes de hexágono interno e externo. Para isto, foram confeccionados dois modelos com resina fotoelástica PL-2, um com implante de hexágono interno (3i - Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. - 4,00 x 13 mm) e outro com implante de hexágono externo (3i - Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. - 4,00 x 13 mm). Três desenhos de próteses foram fabricados para cada modelo de implante, incorporando cada uma um tipo de conexão para unir implantes e dentes: 1) conexão rígida soldada; 2) conexão semi-rígida; 3) conexão rígida com parafuso oclusal. Os modelos foram colocados no polariscópio e cargas axiais de 100N foram aplicadas em pontos fixos na superfície oclusal das próteses. Os resultados mostraram tendência a uma menor intensidade nas tensões nas conexões semi-rígida e rígida soldada no modelo com implante de hexágono externo e maior intensidade nas tensões na conexão semi-rígida do hexágono interno. Dentro das limitações deste estudo, as seguintes conclusões foram obtidas: houve uma tendência a menor intensidade nas tensões na conexão semi-rígida e na conexão rígida soldada, no modelo com implante de hexágono externo; entre os três tipos de conexões no modelo com implante de hexágono interno, a conexão semi-rígida foi a mais desfavorável; na associação dente-implante é preferível a utilização do implante de hexágono externo. / Abstract: The union tooth-implant still generate divergences of opinions. The purpose of this study was to examine for the photoelastic metod, the distribution of stress among implants and teeth, in the fixed partial prostheses, comparing rigid and semi-rigid connectors and internal and external hexagon implants. For this, two models were made with photoelastic resin PL-2, one with internal hexagon implant (3i - Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. - 4,00 x 13 mm) and other with external hexagon implant (3i - Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. - 4,00 x 13 mm). Three drawings of prostheses were manufactured for each implants model, incorporating each an the connection type to unite implants and teeth: 1) rigid welded connection; 2) semi-rigid connection; 3) rigid connection with screw oclusal. The models were placed in the polariscope and axial loads of 100N were applied in fixed points in the surface oclusal of the prostheses. The results showed tendency to smaller intensity in tensions in the connections semi-rigid and rigid welded in the model with external hexagon implants and larger intensity in the connection semi-rigid of the model internal hexagon implant. The following conclusions were draw: there was tendency the smallest intensity in tensions in the semi-rigid connection and in the rigid welded connection in the model with external hexagon; among the three types of connections in the model with internal hexagon implants the connection semi-rigid was the most unfavorable; in the association tooth-implants it is preferable the use of external hexagon implants. / Orientador: Eduardo Piza Pellizzer / Coorientador: Idelmo Rangel Garcia Júnior / Banca: Stefan Fiuza de Carvalho Dekon / Banca: Alcides Gonini Júnior / Mestre
