Single geometry abutment for narrow and extra-narrow implant systems: Survival and failure modes. J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2023; 143:105872. [PMID: 37201226 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2023.105872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2023] [Revised: 04/22/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 05/20/2023]
Abstract
The use of identical prosthetic components for all implant diameters could reduce the production costs by companies and the complexity of component selection for the clinician and his team. However, it would imply in reduction of thickness of the cervical walls of tapered internal connection implants, which could compromise the reliability of narrow and extra-narrow implants. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the probability of survival and failure modes of extra-narrow implant systems with the same internal diameter as standard-diameter implants using the same prosthetic components. It was used eigth different implant system configurations, including narrow (Ø 3.3 mm) (N) extra-narrow (Ø 2.9 mm) (EN) and extra-narrow-scalloped (Ø 2.9 mm) (ENS) implants, both with cementable abutments (Ce) or titanium bases (Tib) and one-piece implants (Ø 2.5 mm and Ø 3.0 mm) (OP) (Medens, Itu, SP, Brazil), comprising the following groups: OP 3.0; OP 2.5; N Ce; N Tib; EN Ce, EN Tib, ENS-Ce and ENS-Tib. The implants were embedded using polymethylmethacrylate acrylic resin in a 15 mm matrix. Standardized maxillary central incisor crowns were virtually designed and milled to fit on the different studied abutments and cemented using a dual self-adhesive resin cement. The specimens were submitted to SSALT (Step Stress Accelerated Life Testing) at 15 Hz in water until failure or suspension of the test, until a maximum load of 500 N. Fractographic analysis of the failed specimens were realized in scanning electron microscopy. All implant systems demonstrated high probability of survival (90-100%) for missions at 50 and 100 N and values of characteristic strength superior to 139 N. Failure modes were restricted to the abutment in all the implant configurations tested. Therefore, the use extra-narrow implants with standardized prosthetic components for different implant diameters is a viable option for the replacement of anterior teeth.

Clinical performance of short and extrashort dental implants with wide diameter: A systematic review with meta-analysis. J Prosthet Dent 2023:S0022-3913(23)00010-0. [PMID: 36841707 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2023.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/26/2023]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Rehabilitation with wide-diameter reduced-length implants has become popular for patients with minimal vertical bone. However, a consensus on the benefits of this approach is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review with meta-analysis was to evaluate the influence of wide compared with regular diameter on the clinical performance of short (<10 mm) and extrashort (≤6 mm) dental implants used for rehabilitations with single crowns, fixed partial dentures, or both, in the posterior region. MATERIAL AND METHODS A search in 6 databases was conducted to select randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and nonrandomized controlled trials (N-RCTs). Five meta-analyses were performed, where the risk ratio (RR) was evaluated. The certainty of evidence was evaluated, and the risk of bias was determined from the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist. RESULTS Fourteen articles were included, 272 wide- and 478 regular-diameter implants. One study presented a low, 3 an unclear, and 11 a high risk of bias. Meta-analyses showed no statistical difference: implant survival, short dental implants in N-RCTs (up to 1 year - RR 1.01 [0.98; 1.03], 1 to 5 years - RR 1.01 [0.94; 1.08], more than 5 years - RR 1.01 [0.97; 1.06]), extrashort dental implants in N-RCTs (RR 1.04 [0.90; 1.20]), RCTs (RR 1.05 [0.88; 1.25]); implant success in N-RCTs (RR 1.01 [0.97; 1.05]); prosthesis success in N-RCTs (RR 1.01 [0.97; 1.05]). CONCLUSIONS Short and extrashort dental implants with a wide and regular diameter appear to be clinically appropriate options for implant-supported posterior restorations, with high survival, success, and prosthesis success rates.

Endocrown restorations in premolars: influence of remaining axial walls of tooth structure and restorative materials on fatigue resistance. Clin Oral Investig 2023:10.1007/s00784-023-04895-6. [PMID: 36781479 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-023-04895-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/15/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of the remaining tooth structure and different CAD/CAM materials on the fatigue performance and failure mode of endodontically treated premolars restored with endocrowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety maxillary premolars were endodontically treated and assigned into 6 groups (n = 15) according to the number of remaining axial walls (four, three, and two) and restorative materials (ultra-translucent zirconia 5Y-PSZ [KATANA UTML] and lithium disilicate [IPS e.max-CAD]). The specimens were subjected to cyclic fatigue loading test (initial load 200 N; 20 Hz). An incremental step load of 100 N per 10,000 cycles was applied until failure. The fatigue failure load (FFL) and number of failure cycles (CFFs) data were statistically analyzed with two-way ANOVA and Kaplan-Meier test (α = 0.05). Failed specimens were examined under a stereomicroscope 25 × and failure modes were determined. RESULTS FFL and CFF were significantly influenced by restorative material (p < 0.05). 5Y-PSZ endocrowns showed significantly higher FFL when compared with lithium disilicate. The number of remaining walls did not affect the fatigue behavior or failure mode of the specimens. Of the lithium disilicate restorations, 51% had repairable failures, while 95% 5Y-PSZ restorations had non-repairable failures. CONCLUSIONS Zirconia endocrowns showed better FFL than lithium disilicate endocrowns, regardless of the number of remaining axis walls. Lithium disilicate and 5Y-PSZ endocrowns showed FFL higher than the normal masticatory loads. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Restoring endodontically treated premolars with endocrown could be a promising treatment, regardless of the remaining axial walls. However, precaution should be taken in material selection since it affects the fatigue resistance and failure mode.

Clin Implant Dent Relat Res 2021; 23:904-919. [PMID: 34796619 PMCID: PMC9299664 DOI: 10.1111/cid.13054] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2021] [Revised: 09/22/2021] [Accepted: 10/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022]
Abstract
Background Short and ultra‐short implants represent a predictable treatment, in terms of implant survival, with patients presenting insufficient available bone volumes. Moreover, single crown restorations represent a gold standard in terms of oral hygiene. Purpose The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate implant survival, marginal bone loss, and peri‐implant complications in 333 locking‐taper short and ultra‐short implants. Materials and Methods Implants were placed in the maxillary and mandibular posterior regions of 142 patients. Clinical and radiographic examinations were performed at 5‐year recall appointments. Results All implants placed consisted of 8.0‐, 6.0‐, and 5.0‐mm length, 38.14%, 34.53%, and 27.33%, respectively. Three hundred thirty‐two implants (one early failure) were rehabilitated with single crowns in 141 patients. In 45.48% of the implants the crown‐to‐implant ratio was ≥2, with a mean value of 1.94. Overall implant‐based survival after 5 years of follow‐up was 96.10%: 96.85%, 95.65%, and 95.60% for 8.0‐, 6.0‐, and 5.0‐mm length implants, respectively (p = 0.82). Overall patient‐based survival was 91.55%. Regarding crestal bone level variations, average crestal bone loss and apical shift of the “first bone‐to‐implant contact point” position were 0.69 and 0.01 mm, respectively. Setting the threshold for excessive bone loss at 1 mm, during the time interval from loading to follow‐up, 28 implants experienced loss of supporting bone greater than 1 mm: 19 of them (67.85%) were surgically treated with a codified surgical regenerative protocol. After 60 months, a peri‐implantitis prevalence of 5.94% was reported, with an overall implant success of 94.06%: 95.93%, 92.73%, and 93.10% for 8.0‐, 6.0‐, and 5.0‐mm length implants, respectively (p = 0.55). Conclusion Long‐term outcomes suggest that short and ultra‐short locking‐taper implants can be successfully restored with single crowns in the posterior area of the maxilla and mandible.

Probability of survival and stress distribution of narrow diameter implants with different implant-abutment taper angles. J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2021; 110:638-645. [PMID: 34559448 DOI: 10.1002/jbm.b.34942] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2021] [Revised: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
This study evaluated the probability of survival, failure mode, and stress distribution of narrow diameter implants (NDIs) with internal implant-abutment conical connection comprised of different taper angles and thread designs. Sixty-three NDIs (Ø 3.5 × 8.5 mm) were divided according to the taper angle (TA), internal diameter (ID), and trapezoidal thread design (TD) (n = 21/group), as follows: (a) 11.5°U (11.5° TA; ID: 2.5 mm; TD: dual threaded); (b) 11.5°S (11.5° TA; ID: 2.5 mm; TD: single threaded); (c) 16°S (16° TA; ID: 2.72 mm; TD: single threaded). They were subjected to step-stress accelerated life testing. The reliability and use-level probability Weibull curves were calculated at 50, 100, and 150 N for a mission of 100,000 cycles and the failure mode was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. For finite element analysis the von-Mises stress (σvM ) was calculated for the abutment and implant. All groups showed high reliability (above 84%) and failures occurred predominantly in the abutment. In the FEA, 11.5°U showed higher σvM for the implant. All NDIs showed high reliability at clinically challenging loads. The system with greater taper angle showed lower σVm in the implant, and dual threaded implants showed a higher stress concentration in the implant and cortical bone.

Failure Modes and Survival of Anterior Crowns Supported by Narrow Implant Systems. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:1057846.

Abstract
The reduced hardware design of narrow implants increases the risk of fracture not only of the implant itself but also of the prosthetic constituents. Hence, the current study is aimed at estimating the probability of survival of anterior crowns supported by different narrow implant systems. Three different narrow implant systems of internal conical connections were evaluated (Ø3.5 × 10 mm): (i) Active (Nobel Biocare), (ii) Epikut (S.I.N. Implant System), and (iii) BLX (Straumann). Abutments were torqued to the implants, and standardized maxillary incisor crowns were cemented. The assemblies were subjected to step-stress accelerated life testing (SSALT) in water through load application of 30 degrees off-axis lingually at the incisal edge of the crowns using a flat tungsten carbide indenter until fracture or suspension. The use level probability Weibull curves and reliability for completion of a mission of 100,000 cycles at 80 N and 120 N were calculated and plotted. Weibull modulus and characteristic strength were also calculated and plotted. Fractured samples were analyzed in a stereomicroscope. The beta (β) values were 1.6 (0.9-3.1) and 1.4 (0.9-2.2) for BLX and Active implants, respectively, and 0.5 (0.3-0.8) for the Epikut implant, indicating that failures were mainly associated with fatigue damage accumulation in the formers, but more likely associated with material strength in the latter. All narrow implant systems showed high probability of survival (≥95%, CI: 85-100%) at 80 and 120 N, without significant difference between them. Weibull modulus ranged from 6 to 14. The characteristic strength of Active, Epikut, and BLX was 271 (260-282) N, 216 (205-228) N, and 275 (264-285) N, respectively. The failure mode predominantly involved abutment and/or abutment screw fracture, whereas no narrow implant was fractured. Therefore, all narrow implant systems exhibited a high probability of survival for anterior physiologic masticatory forces, and failures were restricted to abutment and abutment screw.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to clinically and radiographically compare extra short and standards implants. Forty-two implants were installed in 10 selected patients. They received prosthetic loading only after the conventional waiting time for osseointegration and the prostheses were made ferulized. Radiographic shots were performed to evaluate vertical and horizontal bone losses at times T1 (prosthetic installation), T2 (6 months follow-up) and T3 (12 months follow-up). Biological parameters such as bone level around the implants (CBL) were evaluated, CBL alteration (CBLC), total crown length (TCL) and implant/crown ratio (ICR) were digitally calculated. All implants included in the study were submitted to the analysis of the implant stability quotient (ISQ) at the time of implant installation (T0) and at 12 months of prosthetic function (T3). Data were statistically tested. The ICR was higher in the test group than in the control group (p<0.0001). The CBL measurements at the beginning of the study were 0.21±0.19 mm and 0.32±0.38 mm and at 12 months 0.65±0.24 mm and 0.87±0.34 mm, respectively in the test and control groups. CBLCs and CBL were similar at all times (p>0.05). No correlation was found between CBLC and ICR parameters, as well as between ISQ and implant length. We may conclude that standards and extra short implants can provide similar clinical results in prosthetic rehabilitation of the atrophic jaw over 12 months of follow-up.

Abstract
Rehabilitation of patients through implants in areas with severe bone resorption in the posterior mandible is a challenge in implant dentistry. In this context, extra short implants configure a treatment option for this type of patient, as they can avoid increased financial cost, treatment time and patient morbidity. The present study evaluated the marginal bone stability in individualized extra-short implants for masticatory function in the posterior mandible. Using digitized periapical radiographs of 13 extra-short implants performed on 7 patients. The mesial and distal regions of each implant were selected, from the bone crest to the region parallel to the apex, and the bone stability of this crest was measured using the Image J software immediate T1 and 1 year after rehabilitation (T2). The height of the bone crest remained stable, showing no statistically significant difference between T1 and T2 (p> 0.005) for both the mesial bone crest and the distal bone crest in individual or united crowns rehabilitation. Marginal bone stability was observed in extra short implants, corroborating the biological and biomechanical stability of these implants presented in the literature. Despite the limited sample size and proservation time, extra-short implants are predictive treatment options for patients with severe bone atrophy in the posterior mandible. Key words:Extra-short implants, marginal bone loss, mandibular bone atrophy.

Finite element analysis and experimental evaluation on stress distribution and sensitivity of dental implants to assess optimum length and thread pitch. COMPUTER METHODS AND PROGRAMS IN BIOMEDICINE 2020; 187:105258. [PMID: 31830699 DOI: 10.1016/j.cmpb.2019.105258] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/20/2019] [Revised: 11/29/2019] [Accepted: 12/01/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The dental implant is one of the long term proper remedies to recover a missed tooth as a different prosthetic rehabilitation way. The finite element (FE) method and photoelasticity test are employed to achieve stress distribution and sensitivity in dental implants in order to obtain optimum length and thread pitch. METHODS The finite element method and experimental test are developed to evaluate stress distribution and sensitivity around dental implants. Three dimensional FE models of implant-abutment, cortical bone and cancellous bone are created by considering a variation of 0.6 to -1 mm on threads pitch while the implant lengths range from 8.5 mm to 13 mm. Then, axial and oblique forces are applied to the models to obtain the resultant stress contours. RESULTS The results indicate that the resultant von Mises stresses in the implant-abutment, cortical bones, and cancellous bones are different. The optimized setting for length and pitch is suggested according to maximum von Mises stress and sensitivity analysis. CONCLUSIONS It is concluded that the present FE model accurately predicts stress distribution pattern in dental implants. The results indicate that sensitivity of length play a more significant role in comparison with thread pitch. The accuracy of FEM results in comparison with those of the photoelasticity test recommends applying computation methods in medical practice as great potential in terms of future studies.

Abstract
Background: The goal of this study was to analyze the stress distribution on two types of extra-short dental implants with 5 mm of length: An internal hexagon (IH) and morse taper connection (MT). Methods: The three-dimensional model was composed of trabecular and cortical bone, a crown, an extra-short dental implant and their components. An axial load of 150 N was applied and another inclined 30° with the same magnitude. Results: Stress concentrations on the IH implant are observed in the region of the first threads for the screw. However, in the MT implant the highest stress occurs at the edges of the upper implant platform. Conclusions: In view of the results obtained in this study the two types of prosthetic fittings present a good stress distribution. The Morse taper connections presented better behavior than the internal in both loading configurations.
