Abstract
OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of a two-piece abutment workflow on enhancing the stability of the alveolar bone and gingiva surrounding the dental implant, and to determine the level of patient satisfaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 48 patients with dentition defect in the posterior region were included and divided into two groups: the two-piece abutment workflow (TAW) and the sealing screw with submerged healing workflow (SHW). Marginal bone level (MBL), soft tissue indicators, oral hygiene indicators, and patient satisfaction were assessed and recorded partially at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery. The primary outcome was the change of MBL in different time periods. A generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) was used to take into account the correlated nature of the data, and adjust for potential confounding factors within inter-group differences. RESULTS The survival rate of implants and prosthesis reached 100% at 12-month follow-up, with an average decrease of 0.25 mm (SD 0.23 mm) of MBL in the TAW group and 0.48 mm (SD 0.45 mm) in the SHW group. The change of MBL in the TAW group (0.15 ± 0.31 mm) was significantly lower than the SHW group (0.41 ± 0.41 mm) through the analysis of GLMM within 6 months, while no significance was found in 12 months. Moreover, less gingival pain and oppression during prosthesis loading, and less time consumption overall duration were showed in the TAW group through Visual Analogue Scale (VAS, p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Within a 6-month period, the two-piece abutment workflow showed superior efficacy in preserving the integrity of the marginal bone level. Furthermore, it streamlined treatment procedures and mitigated discomfort, hence increasing patient satisfaction.

Caballero C, Rodriguez F, Cortellari GC, Scarano A, Prados-Frutos JC, De Aza PN, Fernandes GVO, Gehrke SA. Mechanical Behavior of Five Different Morse Taper Implants and Abutments with Different Conical Internal Connections and Angles: An In Vitro Experimental Study. J Funct Biomater 2024; 15:177. [PMID: 39057299 PMCID: PMC11277867 DOI: 10.3390/jfb15070177] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study evaluated the mechanical behavior of five designs of Morse taper (MT) connections with and without the application of loads. For this, the detorque of the fixing screw and the traction force required to disconnect the abutment from the implant were assessed. A total of 100 sets of implants/abutments (IAs) with MT-type connections were used, comprising five groups (n = 20/group): (1) Group Imp 11.5: IA sets with a cone angulation of 11.5°; (2) Group SIN 11.5: with a cone angulation of 11.5°; (3) Group SIN 16: with a cone angulation of 16°; (4) Group Neo 16: with a cone angulation of 16°; and (5) Group Str 15: with a cone angulation of 15°. All sets received the torque recommended by the manufacturer. After applying the torque, the counter torque of the fixing screws was measured in ten IA sets of each group without the application of cyclic loads (frequencies ≤ 2 Hz, 360,000 cycles, and force at 150 Ncm). The other ten sets of each group were subjected to cyclic loads, after which the detorque was measured. Afterwards, the force for disconnection between the implant and the abutment was measured by traction on all the samples. The untwisting of the abutment fixation screws showed a decrease in relation to the initial torque applied in all groups. In the unloaded samples, it was found to be -25.7% in Group 1, -30.4% in Group 2, -36.8% in Group 3, -29.6% in Group 4, and -25.7% in Group 5. After the applied loads, it was found to be -44% in Group 1, -43.5% in Group 2, -48.5% in Group 3, -47.2% in Group 4, and -49.8% in Group 5. The values for the IA sets were zero for SIN 16 (Group 3) and Neo16 (Group 4), both without and with loads. In the other three groups, without loads, the disconnection value was 56.3 ± 2.21 N (Group 1), 30.7 ± 2.00 N (Group 2), and 26.0 ± 2.52 N (Group 5). After applying loads, the values were 63.5 ± 3.06 N for Group 1, 34.2 ± 2.45 N in Group 2, and 23.1 ± 1.29 N in Group 5. It was concluded that in terms of the mechanical behavior of the five designs of MT IA sets, with and without the application of loads, the Imp 11.5, SIN 11.5, and Srt 15 groups showed better results compared to the SIN 16 and Neo 16 groups, showing that lower values of cone angulation increase the friction between the parts (IA), thus avoiding the need to maintain the torque of the fixing screw to maintain the union of the sets.

The Stresses and Deformations in the Abfraction Lesions of the Lower Premolars Studied by the Finite Element Analyses: Case Report and Review of Literature. Diagnostics (Basel) 2024; 14:788. [PMID: 38667434 PMCID: PMC11048859 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics14080788] [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: 02/17/2024] [Revised: 03/28/2024] [Accepted: 03/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of the study was to investigate the behavior of hard dental structures of the teeth with abfraction lesions when experimental occlusal loads were applied. METHODS A 65-year-old patient came to the dentist because she had painful sensitivity in the temporomandibular joints and the lower right premolars. The patient was examined, and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of the orofacial area was indicated. The data provided from the CBCT were processed with Mimics Innovation Suite 17 software to create the desired anatomical area in 3D format. Then, the structural calculation module was used in order to perform a finite element analysis of the lower right premolar teeth. A focused review of articles published between 2014 and 2023 from specialty literature regarding the FEA of premolars with abfraction lesions was also conducted. RESULTS The parcel area and the cervical third of the analyzed premolars proved to be the most vulnerable areas under the inclined direction of occlusal loads. The inclined application of experimental loads induced 3-4 times higher maximum shears, stresses, and deformations than the axial application of the same forces. CONCLUSIONS FEA can be used to identify structural deficiencies in teeth with abfractions, a fact that is particularly important during dental treatments to correct occlusal imbalances.

Effect of different implant locations and abutment types on stress and strain distribution under non-axial loading: A 3-dimensional finite element analysis. J Dent Sci 2024; 19:607-613. [PMID: 38303808 PMCID: PMC10829709 DOI: 10.1016/j.jds.2023.11.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Background/purpose Dental implants have been a popular treatment for replacing missing teeth. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of engaging (hexagonal) and non-engaging (non-hexagonal) abutments in various six-unit fixed prosthesis on the stress distribution and loading located in the implant neck, implant abutment, and surrounding bone. Materials and methods Three implants were digitally designed and inserted parallel to each other in edentulous sites of the maxillary right canine, maxillary right central incisor, and maxillary left canine. Titanium base engaging abutments, non-engaging abutments and connecting screws were designed. Five distinct models of 6-unit fixed dental prosthesis were created, each featuring different combinations of various abutments. Forces (45-degree angle) were applied to the prosthesis, allowing for the analysis of the stress distribution on the implant neck and abutments, and the maximum and minimum principal stress values on the cortical and trabecular bone. Results Von Mises stress values and stress distributions located in the implant neck region due to the applied loading forces were analyzed. The overall stress values were highest while employing the hexagonal abutments. The maxillary left canine with a hexagonal abutment (model 5) reported the highest von mises value (64.71 MPa) while the maxillary right canine with a non-hexagonal abutment (model 4) presented lowest von mises value (56.69 MPa). Conclusion The results suggest that both the various abutment combinations (engaging and non-engaging) on five different models have a similar influence on the distribution of stress within the implant system.
