Na cavidade bucal, o diabetes pode estar associado à deficiência na osseointegração e pior prognóstico no tratamento com implantes dentais. Assim, modificações na superfície dos implantes que favoreçam a reparação do tecido ósseo poderiam ajudar a compensar as influências deletérias relacionadas ao diabetes. Este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar, em animais diabéticos, a influência de uma superfície modificada por fluoretos na osseointegração. A amostra consistiu de 180 ratos (90 para teste biomecânico e 90 para histometria) aleatoriamente divididos em três grupos de 60 animais: grupo controle (Grupo C), composto por ratos saudáveis; grupo Diabetes descompensado, composto por animais em que foi realizada indução de Diabetes mellitus (Grupo D); e grupo Diabetes Controlado (Grupo DC) em que o diabetes induzido experimentalmente foi controlado com administração de insulina. O diabetes foi induzido em ratos por injeção de estreptozotocina. Após 4 semanas da indução, cada animal recebeu 2 implantes nas metáfises tibiais proximais, sendo 1 de superfície maquinada (M) e o outro de superfície tratada com fluoretos (F). Os animais foram sacrificados 2, 4 e 6 semanas após a instalação dos implantes. A resistência biomecânica foi avaliada ex-vivo por meio do torque de remoção, e a qualidade do tecido ósseo formado ao redor dos implantes por meio de cortes histológicos não descalcificados, aonde mediu-se a superfície de contato osso/implante (BIC) e a fração de área de tecido ósseo entre as roscas do implante (BAFO). Os dados numéricos (peso, glicemia, torque de remoção, BIC e BAFO) foram avaliados estatisticamente por meio do teste de normalidade de Shapiro-Wilk e pelos testes paramétricos ANOVA complementado pelo... / Pre-clinical and clinical studies have been showed that some systemic diseases like the diabetes mellitus may alter the bone repair process. At the oral cavity, the diabetes may be associated with poor osseointegration of dental implants and worsening of the prognosis of dental implants treatment. Thus, modifications on the dental implants surfaces that enhance the bone repair could help to offset the deleterious influences related to diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in diabetic rats, the influence of different implants surfaces on the osseointegration. A sample of 180 rats (90 for the biomechanical analysis and 90 for the histometric analysis) was randomly allocated in 3 groups of 60 rats each: Control Group (C): Healthy animals; Non-controlled diabetes Group (D): Animals with uncontrolled diabetes; Controlled Diabetes Group (DC): Animals with controlled diabetes. The diabetes was induced by injection of streptozotocin and it was controlled by injectios of insulin. After 4 weeks of the diabetes induction, all the animals received 1 implant in each tibia, one with a machined surface (M) and the other one with a fluoride surface modification. The animals were euthanized 2, 4 and 6 weeks after the implants placement. The biomechanical analysis was performed ex vivo by means of removal torque resistance, and the quality of the bone tissue formed around the implants was assessed by histometric analysis of bone / implant contact (BIC) and bone area between the threads of the implant (BAFO). The numerical data (Weight, Glicemic index, removal torque, BIC, and BAFO) were evaluated by the normality test of Shaprio-Wilk and the one-way Anova complemented by the Tukey´s test. All the statistical test were applied with a significance level of 5%. Regarding the biomechanical analysis, for the machined surface implants, the group D showed lower removal torque values (p <0.05) than the group C...

Pilares de titânio (UCLA), com alturas de 4,0 e 6,0 mm (1), ou 4,0 mm (2), foram torqueados com 32 N.cm a análogos de implantes HI. Infraestruturas em Co-Cr, jateadas com óxido de alumínio 50 μm foram cimentadas com: Fosfato de Zinco- FZ; RelyX Luting 2- RXL2; C & B Cement- C&B; RelyX U100- RXU100 e RelyX Temp NE- RXTNE. Os conjuntos foram submetidos aos ensaios de tração (0,5 mm/min) após: 1- armazenagem em saliva artificial a 37 ºC durante 24 h (controle), 2- termociclagem (10.000 ciclos, 5,0 e 55 °C, 30 s de imersão), ou 3- ciclagem mecânica (106 ciclos, 140 N, 15 Hz). Os dados foram analisados por (1) 3- way ANOVA e Dunnett, e (2) 2-way ANOVA e Tukey HSD (α=0,05). Independentemente da altura do pilar, não houve diferença nos resultados dos grupos sem termociclagem (p≥0,05). Após termociclagem, houve aumento (p<0,05) na RMT nos pilares de 6,0 mm. Após ciclagem mecânica, houve diminuição (p<0,05) nos resultados de RMT produzidos por RXL2. A altura do pilar influenciou os resultados do RXL2, que produziu RMT mais elevada com os pilares de 6,0 mm. Com exceção do RXL2, a ciclagem mecânica não comprometeu a RMT das infraestruturas cimentadas. Em determinadas condições, o RXTNE produziu RMT semelhante à alguns cimentos finais. / This study evaluate (1) the effect of abutment height, different cements and thermocycling, and (2) the effect of different cements and cyclic loading on the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of cement-retained/implant-supported cast restorations. UCLA-type abutments with 4.0 and 6.0-mm height (1), or 4.0-mm height (2) were torqued to with 32 N.cm to internal hexagon dental implant replicas. Copings casted in Co-Cr, sandblasted with 50-μm aluminum oxide particles were cemented with: Zinc Phosphate- ZP; RelyX Luting 2- RXL2; C & B Cement- C&B; RelyX U100- RXU100 and RelyX Temp NE- RXTNE. The assemblies were submitted to the tensile test (0.5 mm/min) after: 1- storage in artificial saliva at 37 °C for 24 h (control), 2- thermocycling (10,000 cycles, 5.0 and 55 ºC, 30-s dwell time), or 3- cyclic loading (106 cycles, 140 N, 15 Hz). Data were analyzed by (1) 3-way ANOVA and Dunnett tests, and (2) 2-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests (α=0.05). Regardless of the abutments’ heights, no significant differences were found among the UTS of the nonthermocycled groups (p≥0.05). After thermocycling, an increasing in the UTS was observed for the 6.0-mm abutments (p<0.05). After cyclic loading, the UTS values produced by RXL2 were decreased (p<0.05). The abutment’s heights used affected the RXL2 results, which produced higher results with the 6.0-mm abutments. With the exception of RXL2, cyclic loading did not detrimentally affect the UTS of the cemented castings. In some conditions, the provisional cement RXTNE produced similar UTS to some definitive cements.
