Abstract
Objectives
This study assessed the fatigue lifetime of reduced-diameter implants placed in either bovine rib or polymer-based bone model.
Methods
Bovine ribs were classified according to the criteria proposed by Lekholm and Zarb and were analyzed for bone fraction. Fourteen dental implants (3.25 mm in diameter × 15 mm in length) were placed in bovine ribs used as a bone model. They were subjected to resonance frequency analysis. Stainless steel loading hemisphere caps were bonded on the abutments position at 30-degree angle and with a moment arm of 11 mm. Accelerated life testing using the step-stress method was conducted at 2 Hz with a stress ratio of 0.1 until fracture on a servo-hydraulic load frames machine (MTS). Results were compared with those of a previous study wherein implants were placed in a polymer-based bone model. Fatigue lifetime statistics (characteristic lifetime and Weibull modulus) of physical specimens were estimated in a reliability analysis software (ALTA PRO). Fractured specimens were examined under an electron scanning microscope to determine the failure mode.
Result
The implants exhibited high stability quotient values (75.07 ± 3.81). Implants placed in bovine ribs showed better data dispersion and longer fatigue lifetime than those placed in polymer-based bone models, with no significant difference between groups. All fractures occurred in the implant body near the bone level and were indicative of fatigue fractures.
Significance
Bovine ribs appear to be a more suitable material for accelerated life testing than the polymer-based material because of better data dispersion.
期刊介绍:
Dental Materials publishes original research, review articles, and short communications.
Academy of Dental Materials members click here to register for free access to Dental Materials online.
The principal aim of Dental Materials is to promote rapid communication of scientific information between academia, industry, and the dental practitioner. Original Manuscripts on clinical and laboratory research of basic and applied character which focus on the properties or performance of dental materials or the reaction of host tissues to materials are given priority publication. Other acceptable topics include application technology in clinical dentistry and dental laboratory technology.
Comprehensive reviews and editorial commentaries on pertinent subjects will be considered.
