There is little evidence that Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is much used in dentistry. Dental implant technology is an example of innovative oral health technology. The objectives of this research were to gather the evidence needed for the assessment of overdenture implant treatment so that both patients and dental practitioners can make informed decisions about this technology. These objectives included 1) investigating what types of dental clinicians adopt and provide dental implants 2) determining the effect of the clinicians' experience in the provision of implant supported prostheses and 3) measuring the patients' preference in provision of mandibular 2-implants overdenture technology. / For the first part, a cross-sectional survey was sent to all licensed Canadian Dentists to measure the adoption and provision of implant technology. For the second part, we used the data on the first 140 edentulous elders who were enrolled in a randomized controlled clinical trial to compare the effects of mandibular conventional (CD) and 2-implant overdentures (IOD) on nutrition. The change in patient ratings of satisfaction after treatment, laboratory costs and the number of unscheduled visits were compared. For the last part, edentulous elders (N=36) who were wearing maxillary dentures and either a mandibular conventional denture (CD, n=13) or a two-implant overdenture (IOD, n=23) participated in this study. Participants' preference was measured during a 20-minute interview. / Multivariate regression analysis on the data from the first part of the study shows that the Dentist's gender, province of practice, specialty, and whether they practice alone or in association with other practitioners, are significantly associated with the adoption of implant technology (p<0.05). It is also shown that there was no difference in satisfaction scores for either prosthesis between the groups treated by experienced specialists or new dentists. Furthermore, it is shown that IOD wearers were willing to pay three times more than the current cost of conventional dentures for implant prostheses (p<0.05). / Overall, the results of this study 1) inform decision makers on what types of clinicians provide implant technology and 2) suggest that, with minimal training, all dental clinicians irrespective of their specialty, can provide successful implant overdenture prostheses that edentulous patients are willing to pay for.

Material and Method: Forty five external hex implants were embedded in an epoxy resin and received your respective abutments, randomly divided in three experimental groups (n=15): (A) machined titanium (Ti) abutments; (B) premachined gold (Au) abutments and (C) machined zirconia (ZrO2) abutments. For all groups, only one type of screw was used. The abutment screws were tightened according to the manufacture's recommended torque. Initially, a static bending test was performed using 5 specimens of each group to determine the load applied in the cyclic loading test. Thus, 10 specimens of each group were used to measure the reverse torque value (preload) of the abutment screw and vertical gap between the abutments and implant, before and after loading. The tests were performed according to ISO norm 14801. A cyclic loading (0,5 x 106 cycles; 15 Hz) between 11 - 211 N was applied at an angle of 30 degrees to the long axis of the implants. Group means were compared using ANOVA and Tukey test. Result: The mechanical strength test showed that the UFL mean for Au abutments was significantly higher than the mean of the other abutments (p<0.001). The analysis of reverse torque (preload) before cyclic loading showed no significant differences among abutment groups. After cyclic loading the lowest decrease in preload was observed in group Ti, whereas the highest was observed in group ZrO2, with significant differences between them. The group Au showed an intermediate decrease, with no significant difference to the other groups. In relation to the vertical misfit... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

A research report submitted to the School of Oral Health Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Dentistry in the branch of Prosthodontics Johannesburg, 2017 / Purpose: To perform a comparative analysis of the accuracy of intra-oral and extra-oral digital scanners when used for the milling of a long-span implant supported superstructure framework. Method: Three intra-oral and three extra-oral scanners were used to measure a master model containing five implant analogues. The three-dimension positions of the implant analogues were measured with a coordinate measuring machine. The digital data from the scanners were used to mill the implant positions in aluminium blanks from a single milling device. These implant positions were measured at the same points as the master model. The three-dimensional differences were calculated to provide a measure of the most accurate frameworks. Results: For the intra-oral scanners, the further the measurement between points, the greater the standard deviation (the poorer the precision) and the poorer the mean accuracy. However, these were clinically acceptable over short distances. For the extra-oral scanners, there was no correlation between the length of the measured distances and the accuracy of the produced framework. All the extra-oral scanners were clinically acceptable for complete-arch prostheses. Conclusions: Noting the limitations of this study and the use of a milling centre to mill the frameworks, for the intra-oral scanners, the 3Shape Trios® (3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) can be used for measurements up to 21,5mm and the Sirona CEREC OmniCam (Sirona Dental Systems, Inc., Bensheim, Germany) can be used for measurements up to 34mm. The extra-oral scanners used in this study can be used for complete-arch implant prosthetics. The accuracy of these is relative to the model or impression created. Steps should therefore be made to ensure the accuracy of the model such as the use of a verification jig / MT2017

Assim, o objetivo desta dissertação foi avaliar a influência do material de revestimento oclusal na confecção de prótese fixa implantossuportada unitária com diferentes diâmetros de implantes osseointegrados. Para o estudo foram elaborados 08 modelos, representando cada qual uma secção de osso mandibular (osso esponjoso e cortical), com a presença apenas de um implante (Conexão Master Screw, Sistemas de Próteses, São Paulo, Brasil) do tipo hexágono externo de 3.75 mm x 10 mm (4 modelos) e de 5.00 mm x 10 mm (4 modelos) com coroas de porcelana feldspática, ou de resina acrílica, ou de resina composta ou coroa liga de NiCr. Para confecção dos modelos foram utilizados os programas de desenho assistido: Rhinoceros® 3D 4.0 (NURBS Modeling for Windows, EUA) e SolidWorks® 2006 (SolidWorks Corp, Massachusetts, USA). Os desenhos tridimensionais foram exportados para o programa de elementos finitos NEI Nastran® 9.0 (Noran Engineering, Inc, EUA), para geração da malha, aplicação da carga e análise. Os resultados foram visualizados através dos mapas de tensão von Mises de cada modelo proposto, a fim de avaliar as variações individuais da distribuição das tensões no implante e na coroa; no osso os resultados foram visualizados através dos mapas de tensão máxima principal.

The aim of this dissertation was to evaluate the influence of occlusal material for single implant-supported fixed prostheses with different implant diameters. For this study were simulated 8 models, representing a section of the mandibular bone (trabecular and cortical bone) with a single external hexagonal implant (Master Screw, Conexão Sistema de Prótese ltda., Sao Paulo, Brazil) of 3.75 x 10 mm (4 models) and 5.00 mm x10 mm (4 models) with a crown with different occlusal materials: feldspathic porcelain crowns, or acrylic resin or composite resin crown or NiCr alloy. The models were designed using computer-aided design softwares : Rhinoceros® 3D 4.0 (NURBS Modeling for Windows, USA) and SolidWorks® 2006 (SolidWorks Corp., Massachusetts, USA). The three-dimensional designs were exported to the finite element program NEI Nastran® 9.0 (Noran Engineering, Inc, USA) for mesh generation, load application and analysis. The results were visualized through von Mises stress maps of each model, to assess individual variations of the stress distribution on the implant and crown; bone results were visualized through maps of maximum principal stress. In axial loading (200 N), cortical bone showed no significant differences in all models,on the trabecular bone the tensile stress increased, with regular implant diameter. For non-axial loads (100 N), the cortical bone, the tensile stress increased significantly on the side common the load application, when it reduced the implant diameter; in the trabecular bone showed seemed stress patterns, although more...

Entretanto, apresentam piores resultados de adaptação marginal que os pilares pré-fabricados, embora estes agreguem custos significativamente superiores. Pilares UCLA metaloplásticos para sobre-fundição surgiram neste interstício, com prerrogativas de menores custos que os pré-fabricados e melhor adaptação que os calcináveis. Atualmente encontram-se, predominantemente, com base em liga de Ni-Cr-Ti ou Co-Cr. Todavia, não há dados relativos ao seu desempenho após a sobre-fundição, tão pouco, diante das ofertas, qual seria a melhor escolha. O objetivo neste estudo foi avaliar os desajustes marginais e a influência na indução de tensão e no destorque de parafusos protéticos de próteses confeccionadas com pilares UCLA metaloplásticos confrontando seus resultados com pilares UCLA calcináveis. Foram confeccionadas quarenta infraestruturas metálicas simulando próteses parciais fixas de três elementos retidas por dois implantes osseointegrados, obtidas por fundição a partir de transferências realizadas no modelo mestre. As estruturas foram separadas em quatro grupos (n=10) : G1, cilíndros protéticos tipo UCLA metaloplásticos com base em Co-Cr; G2, cilíndros protéticos tipo do UCLA calcináveis e fundidos em liga de Co-Cr; G3, por cilíndros protéticos tipo UCLA metaloplásticos com base em Ni-Cr-Ti; e G4, por cilíndros protéticos tipo do UCLA calcináveis e fundidos em liga de Ni-Cr-Ti. Para mensuração dos valores de desajuste marginal foi utilizada a técnica do parafuso único, o método de extensometria foi usado para análise das tensões, e os valores de pré-carga dos parafusos, após a ciclagem mecânica, foram obtidos por meio de torquímetro eletrônico digital. Os dados de desajuste marginal e tensão foram verificados antes e após a ciclagem mecânica, já os valores de pré-carga foram obtidos em intervalos de 100 mil ciclos. Os dados foram submetidos à análise variância (Três Fatores), seguidos de teste de Tukey (p=0,05) e a presença de correlação foi verificada por meio do teste de Pearson. Não foi encontrada diferença significativa entre os tipos de pilares para o desajuste, tensão e pré-carga. Os valores médios para desajuste (µm) foram G1 (3608,7 ± 1429,6) G2 (7918,3 ± 5055,9) G3 (4577,3 4017,2) G4 (9824,2 ± 1100,6). Os valores médios para tensão (gf) foram G1 (7918,3 ± 5208,8) G2 (3608,8 ± 2335,9) G3 (9824,3 ± 4125,5) G4 (4577,3 ± 15510,3). Os valores médios de pré-carga (Ncm) dentre os ciclos 0 (11,7 ± 3,8), 100 mil (9,7 ± 3,4), 200 mil (8,9 ± 3,7), 300 mil (9,3 ± 3,2), 400 mil (9,7 ± 3,4), 500 mil (10,6 ± 4). O uso de pilares metáloplasticos não reduziu os valores de desajuste marginal e tensão quando comparados aos calcináveis. A liga de Co-Cr apresentou os menores valores de desajuste marginal. O tipo de pilar e a liga utilizada influenciaram negativamente na perda de pré-carga. Não existe correlação entre tensão, desajuste marginal e pré-carga. / Abstract: Castable UCLA abutments are of wide applicability in dental implants, because they allow the manipulation in the laboratory at low cost and individualization of abutments for each patient. However, they show the worse results of marginal adaptation then the fabricated, although these aggregate costs significantly higher. UCLA premachined abutments for casting came in this interstice, with those of a lower cost than pre-made and better adaptation of the abutment. Nowadays, they are manufactured predominantly based on Ni-Cr-Ti or Co-Cr alloys. However, there is no data on its performance after the overcasting, and little is known about which one would be the best choice. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the marginal misfit and its influence on tension induction and in preload values of prosthetic screws in prostheses made with premachined UCLA abutmens. Forty frameworks were prepared simulating three-element metal fixed partial dentures retained by two osseointegrated implants, which were obtained through casting of acrylic resin frameworks waxed in a master model. The structures were distributed into four groups (n = 10): Group 1- premachined Co-Cr UCLA abutment; Group 2- casted Co-Cr UCLA abtument (control group 1); Group 3- premachined Ni-Cr-Ti UCLA abutment and Group 4- casted Ni-Cr-Ti UCLA abutment (control group 2). To measure the values of marginal misfit the single screw technique was used. The method of strain gage was used to analyze the stresses; and the values of preload of the bolts after cycling mechanics, were obtained by means of digital electronic torque meter. The data of marginal misfit and strain were obtained before and after of the mechanical cycling, but the values of pre-load were obtained at intervals of 100 thousand cycles. The data were submitted to variance analysis (Three-Way), followed by Tukey test (p=0.05) and the presence of correlation was verified by means of the Pearson correlation. The average values for marginal misfit (µm) were, G1 (3608.7 ± 1429.6), G2 (7918.3 ± 5055.9), G3( 4577.3 ± 4017.2), G4 (9824,2 ± 1100.6). The average values for tension (gf) were: G1 (7918,3 ± 5208.8), G2 (3608.8 ± 2335.9), G3 (9824.3 ± 4125.5) and G4 (4577.3 ± 15510.3). The averages values of preload (Ncm) among the phases: 0 (11.7 ± 3.8), 100 thousand (9.7 ± 3.4), 200 thousand (8.9 ± 3.7) 300 thousand (9.3 ± 3.2), 400 thousand (9.7 ± 3.4), 500 thousand (10.6 ± 4). The use of premachined UCLA abutment did not reduce the values of marginal misfit and strain when compared with the plastic UCLA abutments. The alloy of Co-Cr showed the lowest values of marginal misfit. The kind of abutmetns and alloy used influenced the values of preload. There was no correlation between strain, marginal misfit and preload. / Mestrado / Protese Dental / Mestre em Clínica Odontológica

Um modelo tridimensional de elementos finitos de uma porção posterior de mandíbula contendo dois implantes osseointegrados nas posições de segundo pré-molar e segundo molar, suportando uma prótese parcial fixa foi construído utilizando software específico de modelagem (SolidWorks 2010). Modelos de elementos finitos foram obtidos pela importação do modelo sólido ao software de simulação mecânica (ANSYS Workbench 11). Os modelos foram separados em grupos de acordo com o material de infraestrutura (liga de ouro tipo IV, liga de prata-paládio, titânio comercialmente puro, liga de cobalto-cromo ou zircônia) e o nível de desajuste vertical (10 ?m, 50 ?m e 100 ?m) criado na interface prótese-implante do segundo pré-molar. A concentração de tensões foi avaliada nas seguintes condições: (1) assentamento protético; e (2) cargas oclusais simultâneas de 110 N vertical e 15 N horizontal em cada dente. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que as infraestruturas mais rígidas apresentam maior concentração de tensões internas; entretanto, promoveram menores concentrações de tensão sobre a porcelana de recobrimento, em ambas condições avaliadas. Na análise do assentamento protético, materiais mais rígidos para infraestruturas aumentaram os valores de tensão no parafuso de retenção e não causaram diferença relevante nas tensões no tecido ósseo peri-implantar. Quando a carga foi aplicada, o uso de infraestruturas mais rígidas promoveu redução de tensões no parafuso de retenção e no tecido ósseo peri-implantar. Em ambas condições avaliadas um considerável aumento na concentração de tensões foi obsevado em todas as estruturas com a amplificação do desajuste. Nas diferentes simulações, o material de infraestrutura exerceu considerável influência nas tensões transmitidas às estruturas avaliadas, exceto ao tecido ósseo peri-implantar em condições de assentamento. Aumento de tensões em todas as estruturas pode ser observado com o aumento do desajuste / Abstract: The aim in this study was to evaluate the influence of the framework material and vertical misfit on the stresses created in an implant-supported partial prosthesis (framework and porcelain veneer), retention screw and peri-implant bone tissue during the settlement of the prosthesis and under load conditions. A 3-D Finite Element model of a posterior part of a jaw with two osseointegrated implants at the place of the right second pre-molar and second molar supporting an implant-supported fixed partial prosthesis was constructed using specific modeling software (SolidWorks 2010). Finite element models were obtained by importing the solid model into mechanical simulation software (ANSYS Workbench 11). The models were divided into groups according to the framework material (type IV gold alloy, silver-palladium alloy, commercially pure titanium, cobalt-chromium alloy or zirconia) and vertical misfit level (10 ?m, 50 ?m and 100 ?m) created at the second pre-molar implant-prosthesis interface. The stress concentration was evaluated in the following conditions: (1) settlement of the prosthesis; and (2) simultaneous loads of 110 N vertical and 15 N horizontal in each tooth. The obtained results showed that stiffer frameworks presented higher stress concentrations in it and led to lower stresses in the porcelain veneer, in both conditions. In the analysis of settlement of the prosthesis, stiffer framework materials increased the stress values in the retention screw and did not cause a relevant difference in the stresses values in peri-implant bone tissue. When the load was applied, the use of more stiffness frameworks led to lower stresses in the retention screw, and peri-implant bone tissue. In both conditions evaluated, considerable raise of stress concentration was observed in all the structures within misfit amplification. Comparing the results of the different simulations, the framework materials presented a considerable influence on the stress concentration in the structures evaluated, except on the peri-implant bone tissue during the settlement of the prosthesis, while a considerable increase of the stress in all the structures was observed with the increase of the misfit / Mestrado / Protese Dental / Mestre em Clínica Odontológica
