Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate to what extent cyclic load affects the screwless implant-abutment connection for Morse taper dental implants.

Materials and methods: 16 implants (SICvantage max) and 16 abutments (Swiss Cross) were used. The screwless implant-abutment connection was subjected to 10,000 cycles of axial loading with a maximum force of 120 N. For the pull-off testing, before and after the same cyclic loading, the required force for disconnecting the remaining 6 implant-abutment connections was measured. The surface of 10 abutments was examined using a scanning electron microscope 120× before and after loading.

Results: The pull-off test showed a significant decrease in the vertical force required to pull the abutment from the implant with mean 229.39 N ± 18.23 before loading, and 204.30 N ± 13.51 after loading (P<.01). Apart from the appearance of polished surface areas and slight signs of wear, no visible damages were found on the abutments.

Conclusion: The deformation on the polished abutment surface might represent the result of micro movements within the implant-abutment connection during loading. Although there was a decrease of the pull-off force values after cyclic loading, this might not have a notable effect on the clinical performance.

循环加载后无螺纹种植体-基台连接的拉脱阻力及表面评价。

目的:本研究的目的是探讨循环载荷对莫氏锥度种植体无螺纹种植体-基台连接的影响程度。材料和方法:使用16个种植体(SICvantage max)和16个基台(Swiss Cross)。无螺钉种植体-基台连接承受1万次轴向载荷，最大力为120 n。拔离试验中，在相同的循环载荷前后，测量剩余6个种植体-基台连接断开所需的力。加载前后用120倍扫描电镜观察10个基台的表面。结果:拔离试验显示，加载前将基牙拉离种植体所需的垂直力明显降低，平均为229.39 N±18.23，加载后平均为204.30 N±13.51 (p)结论:磨光后基牙表面的变形可能是加载过程中种植体-基牙连接体内部微运动的结果。虽然循环加载后拔离力值有所降低，但对临床表现影响不大。
