Some implant manufacturers have introduced abutment screws with treated surfaces in an effort to increase preload and reduce potential loosening. Purpose. This study evaluated the materials and surfaces of 4 commercially available abutment screws on preload generation.\u0000\u0000\u0000MATERIAL AND METHODS\u0000Twenty of each of the following abutment screws-Gold-Tite (Gt), TorqTite (Tt), gold alloy (Ga), and titanium alloy (Ta)-were divided into 2 groups. Measurements were recorded for each abutment screw on a mounted 3.75 x 18 mm external hex implant with a titanium abutment. Rotational angle measurements were conducted on the 4 abutment screws at 20 and 32 Ncm. Removal torque values were recorded and used to indirectly generate preload values. Random implant block specimens were sectioned and qualitatively evaluated with an SEM.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000At 20 and 32 Ncm, the largest rotational angles were recorded for the Tt groups: 21.2 +/- 3.1 degrees and 38.1 +/- 8.7 degrees, respectively.

The Zygomatic implant, as introduced by Brånemark, allows for the surgical placement of implants to restore resorbed maxillae without major grafting procedures. A minimum of 2 implants in the anterior maxilla are used in conjunction with 1 implant in each zygoma to support a prosthesis. Fabricating a passive bar to connect the implants at phase II surgery may require 1 to 2 days. With the adhesive abutment cylinder luting technique, a rigid framework can be delivered within 1 hour of uncovering the implants. This approach saves considerable time over conventional techniques and allows for the restoration of severely resorbed maxillae in an efficient and routine manner.

After processing, the master cast usually is destroyed when the denture base is deflasked. Making a cast for processed denture bases involves blocking out areas of undercut found in the maxillary labial or mandibular incisal regions or buccal to the tuberosities. If this precaution is not taken, removal of the denture base from the cast may cause a possible crack-initiation point with high local stress concentration, which may in turn cause the denture base to fracture. An alternative method for making a cast is to use condensation-polymerized silicone. This material is adapted to the intaglio surface of the processed denture base and, when set, is cast in plaster. The denture base then can be removed from the cast without damaging it.","PeriodicalId":185384,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of prosthetic dentistry","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120119350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
