Vohra F, Alsaif R, Khan R, Bukhari IA. Comparison of De-Torque and Failure Load Evaluation of Selective-Laser-Sintered CoCr, CAD-CAM ZrO, and Machined Implant Abutment/Restoration. Bioengineering (Basel) 2024; 11:448. [PMID: 38790315 PMCID: PMC11118100 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering11050448] [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: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/26/2024] Open
Abstract
AIM This study aimed to compare the torque loss, fracture load, compressive strength, and failure types of selective-laser-sintered cobalt chromium (SLM-Co-Cr), computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing zirconium oxide (CAD-CAM-ZrO), and machined titanium (Ti) implant abutments. METHODS Thirty endosseous dental implants were vertically embedded with machined Ti (control group), CAD-CAM-ZrO, and SLM-Co-Cr abutments. Abutment fabrication involved CAD-CAM milling and SLM technology. The de-torque assessment included preload reverse torque values (RTVs), cyclic loading, and post-RTVs using a customized protocol. Fracture load assessment employed ISO-14801 standards, and statistical analysis was conducted using ANOVA and Tukey Post hoc tests (p < 0.05). RESULTS In pre-load RTVs, SLM-Co-Cr showed the lowest mean torque loss (24.30 ± 2.13), followed by machined Ti (27.33 ± 2.74) and CAD-CAM-ZrO (22.07 ± 2.20). Post-load RTVs decreased for all groups. Fracture load and compressive strength were highest for SLM-Co-Cr, with significant differences among groups (p < 0.001). Fracture types included abutment failures in SLM-Co-Cr and machined Ti, while CAD-CAM-ZrO exhibited crown separation with deformation. CONCLUSION SLM-Co-Cr-fabricated implant abutments exhibited superior stability and resistance to rotational forces, higher fracture loads, and greater compressive strength compared to CAD-CAM-ZrO and machined Ti.

[PMID: 36973859 DOI: 10.1111/jopr.13683] [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: 12/12/2022] [Revised: 03/04/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This in vitro study evaluated the fracture strength of screw-retained zirconia crowns connected to zirconia (Zr) and titanium (Ti) implants after undergoing a simulation of 5 years of clinical use. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-eight screw-retained zirconia crowns were fabricated and assembled on four implant systems, with 12 in each group: (1) Zr implant (pure ceramic; Straumann AG) (PZr); (2) Zr implant (NobelPearl; Nobel Biocare) (NPZr); (3) Ti-Zr implant (Bone Level Roxolid; Straumann AG) (RSTiZr); (4) Ti implant (Conical Connection PMC; Nobel Biocare) (NRTi). Crowns were luted to their associated abutments using resin cement and then torqued to their assigned implants at the recommended torque value. Specimens were subjected to dynamic loading for 1,200,000 loading cycles. Fracture strength, measured in Newtons (N), was tested under static compression load using a universal testing machine at an angle of 30°. One-way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparisons post hoc test were used to compare the mean fracture values between the groups at a significance level of 0.05. RESULTS The average fracture strengths for the RSTiZr and NRTi groups were 1207 ± 202 and 1073 ± 217 N, respectively, which was significantly (p < 0.0001) higher than the PZr and NPZr groups (712 ± 76 and 571.6 ± 167 N, respectively). However, no significant difference was found between the fracture strength value of RSTiZr and NRTi (p = 0.260) or PZr and NPZr (p = 0.256) groups. CONCLUSIONS Zirconia crowns connected to Zr implants have the potential to withstand the average physiological occlusal forces which occur in the anterior and premolar regions.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanical behavior of UCLA and Mini-conical abutments for implants with Tri-channel connections regarding torque loss and vertical misfit. Twenty 3-element metal-ceramic fixed partial dentures (FPD) supported by 2 implants were manufactured and divided into 2 groups (n = 10): UCLA (group 1) and Mini-conical Abutments (group 2). The evaluation of torque loss was carried out before and after mechanical cycling, while the vertical fit was evaluated throughout the different stages of manufacturing the prostheses, as well pre- and postcycling (300,000 cycles, 30 N). Statistical analyses of torque loss and vertical misfit were performed using the linear mixed effects model. Both groups showed torque loss after mechanical cycling (P < .05); however, there was no significant percentage differences between them (P = .795). Before cycling, the groups showed a significant difference in terms of vertical misfit values (P < .05); however, this difference was no long observed after cycling (P = .894). Both groups showed torque loss after the cycling test, with no significant difference (P > .05). There was no significant difference in vertical misfit after mechanical cycling; however, in group 1 (UCLA) there was accommodation of the implant-UCLA abutment interface, while group 2 (Mini-conical abutment) did not show changes in the interface with the implant after the test. Both groups behaved similarly regarding the torque loss of the prosthesis retention screws pre- and postmechanical cycling, with greater loss after the test.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of the invitro research was to compare the fit of Cobalt Chromium customized bar fabricated with different manufacturing processes cast metal bar, milled bar and 3D printed bar using scanning electron microscope. MATERIALS AND METHODS Clear epoxy resin molds were prepared. In each mold two parallel implants with a 14 mm distance from each other were embedded. Thirty Co-Cr custom bars were constructed and were divided equally into three groups: Group (I) (Co-Cr conv), group (II) milled bar (Co-Cr milled), and group (III) printed bar (Co-Cr print). The marginal fit at implant-abutment interface was scanned using scanning electron microscope (SEM). RESULTS There was a significant difference between the three studied groups regarding marginal misfit the between implant and fabricated bars with p-value < 0.001. The highest value of micro-gap distance was found in Co-Cr conventional group (7.95 ± 2.21 μm) followed by Co-Cr 3D printed group (4.98 ± 1.73) and the lower value were found in Co-Cr milled (3.22 ± 0.75). CONCLUSION The marginal fit of milled, 3D printed and conventional cast for Co-Cr alloy were within the clinically acceptable range of misfit. CAD/CAM milled Co-Cr bar revealed a superior internal fit at the implant-abutment interface. This was followed by selective laser melting (SLM) 3D printed bar and the least fit was shown for customized bar with the conventional lost wax technique.

Abstract
PURPOSE This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effect of the abutment material on peri-implant soft tissue health and stability. STUDY SELECTION An electronic and hand search was conducted until February 2022. Only prospective randomized trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) comparing titanium abutments with abutments made of different materials, with a follow-up of at least 6 months, were selected by two independent reviewers. Data on marginal bone loss (MBL) and peri-implant tissue indexes, i.e., plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), and recession (REC), were collected. The risk of bias for RCTs and non-RCTs was evaluated according to the tool reported in the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions and the ROBINS-I tool, respectively. Both pairwise and network meta-analyses (NMA) were performed. RESULTS We included 18 relevant studies from 1,437 identified studies. Overall, 612 patients were treated, and 848 abutments were inserted. Five studies presented a low risk of bias. Pairwise meta-analysis showed that, as compared to titanium, zirconia abutments presented a significantly reduced MBL (0.20 mm, 95% Confidence Interval CI [0.14-0.26], P < 0.00001). No significant differences were found for the other outcomes. In the NMA, zirconia abutments demonstrated an 83.3% probability of achieving the highest rank in PI, an 87.0% in BOP, and a 65.0% in PD outcome, suggesting that zirconia abutments generally performed better than titanium and alumina abutments. CONCLUSIONS Within the limits of the present study, zirconia abutments seem a viable alternative to titanium ones.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of single-tooth implant restorations using one-piece, internally connected, screw-retained, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufactured monolithic zirconia restorations fabricated on regular diameter implants. MATERIAL AND METHODS Following a 2-stage surgical procedure, 22 implants placed in anterior and posterior areas in 21 partially edentulous patients (mean age of 55 years; 9 males/12 females) were evaluated in terms of plaque index, pocket probing depth, bleeding on probing, level of oral hygiene (OH), signs of mucositis/peri-implantitis, esthetic score (ES), gingival zenith position (GZP), papilla index score, the thickness of peri-implant gingiva, radiographic marginal bone loss, and technical complications. Implants and restorations were prospectively followed from the insertion of the restoration (baseline), up to 12-months post-loading. RESULTS A 100% implant survival rate resulted after loading; one implant was lost before loading. Clinically, patients performed an adequate OH, and tissues were kept healthy. Probing depth showed a slightly lower value at baseline compared to any follow-up examination (2.26 [0.94] at baseline vs. 2.53 [0.66] mm at 12 months). ES, GZP, and the thickness of the peri-implant gingiva improved throughout the course of the study. Radiographically, average marginal bone level (MBL) was 0.40 (0.40) mm after 1-year follow-up with no differences in average MBL at all time points. Technically, after 1 year of clinical function, neither abutment fracture nor any other serious complications occurred. Hence, prosthetic reconstruction survival rate was 100%. CONCLUSIONS Clinical outcomes of single-tooth implant restorations using internally connected, screw-retained, computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing monolithic zirconia abutments can be considered a reliable treatment alternative after 1-year clinical observation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this review was to evaluate the survival rates of restorations utilizing titanium base abutments (TBA) for restoring single-unit implant prostheses. MATERIALS AND METHODS This review was conducted following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The focus question was: In patients who require the restoration of a single dental implant utilizing a titanium base abutment, what are the determining factors and outcomes relating to implant prosthesis prognosis and survival? A comprehensive search of databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library) was conducted on 16 April 2023 and updated on 5 May 2023. Randomized clinical trials (RCT), retrospective studies and prospective studies, reporting on the use of TBA for single implant prostheses, were reviewed. A Cochrane collaboration risk of bias assessment analysis was performed for randomized clinical studies, and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale tool was applied for non-randomized studies. A meta-analysis was performed on clinical trials reporting on survival rates of both TBA and other abutments. Other clinical studies, reporting on TBA only, were included for descriptive statistics. RESULTS The search provided 1159 titles after duplicates were removed. Six RCTs were included to perform a meta-analysis and compare the survival of the TBA to other abutments [OR 0.74; 95% CI: 0.21-2.63, heterogeneity; I2 0%; p = .99]. Twenty-three prospective and retrospective studies fulfilled the criteria and were included in the meta-analysis after 12 months of function. A total of 857 single implant-supported prostheses fabricated with a TBA were included. TBA abutments have an estimate 98.6% survival rate after 1 year in function (95% CI: 97.9%-99.4%). The mean follow-up period was 31.2 ± 16.9 months. CONCLUSIONS Single implant prosthesis restored with titanium base abutments showed favourable short-term survival rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A prospective multi-center randomized controlled clinical trial was performed to digitally analyze tissue volume changes in immediately and early placed implants with simultaneous bone augmentation restored with two different all-ceramic materials. METHODS A total of 60 patients received 60 bone-level tapered implants (BLT, Straumann AG) immediately (n = 30) or early placed, 8-10 weeks after tooth extraction, (n = 30). Implants were restored with all-ceramic single crowns fabricated out of zirconia (Lava Plus, 3M), or lithium disilicate (E.max CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent AG) bonded to titanium base abutments (Variobase for Cerec, Straumann AG). Impressions were taken at baseline (BL), 6 and 12 months, and STL data were used to define an area of interest (AOI) to analyze peri-implant volume changes and midfacial recessions. RESULTS For immediate placement, a mean volume loss of -5.56 mm3 (±5.83 mm3) was found at 6 months, and of -6.62 mm3 (±6.56 mm3) at 12 months. For early placement, a mean volume loss of -1.99 mm3 (±5.82 mm3) at 6 months, and of -3.7 mm3 (±5.62 mm3) at 12 months was found. The differences in volume loss at 12 months between the two implant placement protocols were significant (p = 0.005). In both groups, mean midfacial recessions of 0.48 mm (±0.52) occurred. CONCLUSIONS A more pronounced peri-implant volume loss can be expected 12 months after immediate implant placement compared with early placement.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the stress distribution and microgap formation in implant assemblies with conical abutments made of different materials under an oblique load. MATERIALS AND METHODS The mechanical behavior of an implant assembly with a titanium abutment was analyzed and compared with that of an assembly with a Y-TZP abutment using finite element analysis (FEA). A torque of 20 Ncm was first applied to the abutment screw, followed by oblique loads of 10 N-280 N applied to the prosthesis placed on the implant. The maximum stress in the abutment screw, the microgap formation process, and the critical load for bridging the internal implant space were evaluated. RESULTS No significant difference in stress distribution between the two cases was observed, with the stresses being mainly concentrated at the top half of the screw (the predicted maximum von Mises stress was approximately 1200 MPa at 280 N). The area in contact at the implant-to-abutment interface decreased with increasing load for both abutments, with the critical load for bridging the internal implant space being roughly 140 N. The maximum gap size being was approximately 470 μm with either abutment. CONCLUSION There was no significant difference in the stress distribution or microgap formed between implant assemblies with titanium and Y-TZP abutments having an internal conical connection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to compare monolithic hybrid abutment crowns (screw-retained) versus monolithic hybrid abutments with adhesively cemented monolithic single-tooth crowns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty subjects in need of an implant-borne restoration were randomly assigned to receive either a cement-retained (CRR) or a screw-retained (SRR) implant-supported monolithic lithium disilicate (LS2 ) reconstruction. Each patient received a titanium implant with in internal conic connection. After osseointegration and second-stage surgery, healing abutments were placed for about 10 days. The type of restoration (CRR vs. SRR) was randomly assigned, and the restorations were manufactured of monolithic LS2 . Both types of restorations, CRR and SRR, were based on a titanium component (Ti-base) that was bonded to the abutment (CRR) or the crown (SRR). The follow-up period for all restoration was 36 months. Clinical outcome was evaluated according to Functional Implant Prosthetic Score (FIPS). Quality of live (OHIP) and patient's satisfaction were assessed using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). Primary endpoint was loss of restoration for any reason. Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed and log-rank testing was performed (p < .05). RESULTS One restoration of group CRR failed after 6 months due to loss of adhesion between Ti-base and individual abutment. No further biological or technical failures occurred. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed no significant difference between both treatment options (p = .317). There was no statistically significant difference between both types of restoration, neither for FIPS, OHIP, treatment time nor patient satisfaction (p > .05). CONCLUSION Monolithic hybrid abutment crowns (screw-retained) and monolithic hybrid abutment with adhesively cemented monolithic crowns using lithium disilicate showed no statistically significant difference for implant-based reconstructions in this pilot RCT setting.

Bonyatpour M, Giti R, Erfanian B. Implant angulation and fracture resistance of one-piece screw-retained hybrid monolithic zirconia ceramic restorations. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0280816. [PMID: 36689439 PMCID: PMC9870147 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0280816] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/09/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/24/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the fracture resistance of one-piece screw-retained hybrid monolithic zirconia ceramic restorations in different implant angulations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three implant fixtures were embedded in acrylic resin blocks with 0°, 15°, and 25° angulations. For each group of implant angulations, 11 screw-retained one-piece monolithic zirconia restorations were made and bonded to the titanium inserts with a dual-cure self-adhesive resin. The complexes were screwed to the implant fixtures with titanium screws. The samples were thermocycled, subjected to compressive load, and fracture modes were recorded. One-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey's test were used for statistical analyses (α = 0.05). RESULTS One-way ANOVA showed the fracture resistance to be significanltly different among the study groups (P = 0.036). The 15° group was significantly more resistant than 0° (P = 0.031). However, the 25° group was not significantly different from the 15° (P = 0.203) and 0° groups (P = 0.624). Fractures occurred only on the restorations, not at the screw levels. CONCLUSIONS Tilting the implant up to 15° improves the fracture resistance of one-piece screw-retained hybrid monolithic zirconia restorations; however, increasing the tilt to 25° would not yield restorations with significantly better fracture strength than the straight implants. Accordingly, when angulated implants are indicated in the esthetic zones, one-piece screw-retained hybrid monolithic zirconia ceramic restorations can be used with acceptable fracture strength.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to fractographically examine clinically fractured fixation screws used to fix implant supported restorations and to estimate stress at failure. METHODS 20 clinically fractured titanium implant fixation screws were collected and analyzed under scanning electron microscope in order to locate critical crack origin and calculate stress at fracture. Principles of fractographic analysis were applied using relative equations and cause and conditions of screw fracture were calculated. X-rays and patients' records were collected after approval of necessary consent forms. RESULTS Fractographic analysis revealed location and dimensions of critical crack size for every fractured screw examined. Two patterns of screw fracture were identified; the first was related to improper seating of fixation screw leading to damage at screw threads and eventual fracture of screw body. The second was related to slow crack growth propagation causing final fracture of screw body. The calculated stress at failure ranged from 755 to 804 MPa. Patients' records revealed that 75% of fractured screws were related to single unit screw retained restorations. SIGNIFICANCE Single unit screw retained restorations and improperly seated implant abutments impose high stress concentration on fixation screw which may result in fixation screw fracture.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the fracture strength of angulated hybrid abutments supporting anterior single crowns on narrow-diameter implants (NDIs). MATERIAL AND METHODS Zirconia abutment with angulations of labial inclination 0° (TZ0Z), 15° (TZ15Z), 30° (TZ30Z) and palatal inclination 15° (TZ - 15Z) was designed on 3.3-mm titanium-zirconium (Ti-Zr) NDIs. Titanium abutment connected with Ti-Zr implant (TZ0T) and 0° zirconia abutment connected with pure titanium (Ti) implant (T0Z) were control groups. Thirty-six un-restored abutments and 36 abutments restored with highly translucent zirconia (HTZ) crowns were tested. Failure loads were compared among 6 groups, and bending moments were calculated for comparison between un-restored and restored abutments. RESULTS Failure loads of un-restored abutments were affected by the abutment angle. Sixty-seven percent samples in TZ30Z and 83% samples in TZ - 15Z group fractured at the thinnest part of the zirconia abutment and exhibited lower failure load (p < .05). Failure loads of restored abutments were close to or exceeded the maximum bite force of anterior teeth, and no differences were found among six groups (p > .05). Except TZ15Z and TZ0T group, the bending moment increased with the crown construction, especially for TZ30Z and TZ - 15Z groups (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS The fracture strength of hybrid abutments restored with HTZ crown on Ti-Zr NDIs exceeded the bite forces of anterior teeth for all the groups and were not affected by the abutment angle. CLINICAL RELEVANCE In terms of fracture strength, Ti-Zr NDIs combined with angulated hybrid abutments and HTZ crowns can be used in the anterior region.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Zirconia abutments have become popular as they provide favorable esthetic outcomes. However, studies investigating how abutment material affects abutment screw torque performance and implant conical surface morphological changes in internal conical connection systems are scarce. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate the influence of abutment material on abutment removal torque and implant conical surface morphological changes in internal conical connection implant-abutment assemblies of 2 diameters after simulated long-term oral use. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty abutments of 3 materials (1-piece titanium, 1-piece zirconia, zirconia with alloy base) and 2 diameters (regular, narrow) made by the original manufacturer were connected to internal conical connection implants and subjected to a standardized artificial aging process consisting of thermal cycling and mechanical cyclic loading with parameters corresponding to anterior and posterior mastication scenarios simulating long-term oral use. An abutment removal torque test was done before and after aging. Morphological changes in the implant conical contact surface were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Initial and after-aging torque loss values were calculated and analyzed separately with 1-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post hoc tests (α=.05). RESULTS All specimens survived artificial aging. For initial and after-aging torque loss, the 1-piece zirconia groups showed significantly greater values (P<.001) for both diameters. In the SEM observation, the 1-piece zirconia groups showed distinct widespread surface damage while the other groups exhibited only minor damages. CONCLUSIONS Regardless of diameter, 1-piece zirconia abutments tend to induce more abutment removal torque loss and implant conical surface morphological changes than those with metal connections, both initially and after simulated long-term oral use. Zirconia abutments with an alloy base performed similarly to 1-piece titanium abutments.

Abstract
Background Implant-supported prostheses are widely used to replace extracted teeth. Therefore, studies on abutments' designs, shapes, and benefits had increased in recent years, as the design of the standard abutment still poses many problems in periodontal and cosmetic aspects. So, could the hybrid abutment solve some of these problems? Aim We aim to conduct a clinical comparison between standard and hybrid abutments in terms of the state of peri-implant gingival tissues and patients' aesthetic and functional satisfaction after the cementation of the final prostheses. Material and methods The study sample consisted of 10 patients, with 20 dental implants. Each patient received two implants as a standard abutment was placed over one implant and a hybrid abutment was placed over the other. Clinical assessment of the peri-implant gingival tissue and patients' aesthetic and functional satisfaction was performed (immediately, three months, six months, and one year) after the cementation of the final prostheses. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to detect statistically significant differences between groups. Results The percentage of the thick gingival biotype was 80%, and the percentage of the thin gingival biotype was 20% in each group during the follow-up periods. In addition, all papilla fill the whole interdental space in all samples of the two groups after six months and one year. Finally, there were no significant differences in patients' aesthetic satisfaction between groups during one year of follow-up (P = 0.631), and there were no significant differences in patients' functional satisfaction between groups during one year of follow-up (P = 0.684). Conclusion Within the limitations of the current work, there are no differences between standard and hybrid abutments in terms of affecting the peri-implant gingival tissue and patients' aesthetic and functional satisfaction.

Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the response of human gingival fibroblasts (HGFB) and human gingival keratinocytes (HGKC) towards different dental implant abutment materials. Methods: Five materials were investigated: (1) titanium (Ti), (2) titanium nitride (TiN), (3) cobalt-chromium (CoCr), (4) zirconia (ZrO2), and (5) modified polyether ether ketone (m-PEEK). Both cell lines were cultured, expanded, and seeded in accordance with the protocol of their supplier. Cell proliferation and cytotoxicity were evaluated at days 1, 3, 5, and 10 using colourimetric viability and cytotoxicity assays. Data were analysed via two-way ANOVA, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey’s post hoc test (p < 0.05 for all tests). Results: There was a statistically significant difference in cell proliferation of HGKC and HGFB cells in contact with different abutment materials at different time points, with no significant interaction between different materials. There was a significant effect on cell proliferation and cytotoxicity with different exposure times (p < 0.0001) for each material. Cell proliferation rates were comparable for both cell lines at the beginning of the study, however, HGFB showed higher proliferation rates for all materials at day 10 with better proliferation activities with ZrO and m-PEEK (40.27%) and (48.38%) respectively. HGKC showed significant interactions (p < 0.0001) in cytotoxicity between different materials. Conclusion: The present in vitro assessment investigated the biocompatibility of different abutment materials with soft tissue cells (HGFB and HGKC). The findings suggest that m-PEEK and TiN are biologically compatible materials with human cells that represent the soft tissue and can be considered as alternative implant abutment materials to Ti and ZrO2, especially when the aesthetic is of concern.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to comparatively investigate the effects of accelerated aging on the physical and biological features of zirconia manufactured by digital light processing (DLP) and conventional subtractive manufacturing (SM) with similar composition. METHODS Both the DLP- and SM-fabricated zirconia samples (7 mm × 7.5 mm × 1.5 mm) were grouped according to aging (134 °C, 0.2 MPa, 100% humidity) times, including 0 h, 5 h, and 10 h. Phase assemblage and surface topography of zirconia manufactured by different technologies were evaluated before and after aging. The biological effects of zirconia on human gingival fibroblast (HGF) cell events, including cell viability, proliferation, morphology and adhesion, were also evaluated by live/dead viability assay, cck-8 assay, scanning electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy respectively. RESULTS The DLP-fabricated zirconia showed a higher initial cubic phase content and rate of phase transformation than the SM-fabricated zirconia. Among the different aging time-based groups, the 5 h-aged group exhibited significantly lower sub-micron scale surface roughness compared with the other groups. Aging did not significantly alter cellular behavior in any zirconia type, except for minor changes in adhesive cell numbers recorded in an aging time/culturing time-dependent manner. In addition to small differences in cell alignment patterns and overall cell morphology, the two zirconia types presented comparable biological performance before and after aging. CONCLUSION Although the microstructure and surface characteristics of DLP-fabricated zirconia can be affected by autoclave aging, this newly manufactured zirconia is likely to maintain desirable long-term biocompatibility as an implant abutment material.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate human osteoblasts (HOB) response towards different dental implant abutment materials. METHODS Five dental implant abutment materials were investigated: (1) titanium (Ti), (2) titanium coated nitride (TiN), (3) cobalt chromium (CoCr), (4) zirconia (ZrO₂), and (5) modified polyether ether ketone (m-PEEK). HOBs were cultured, expanded, and seeded according to the supplier's protocol (PromoCell, UK). Cell proliferation and cytotoxicity were evaluated at days 1, 3, 5, and 10 using Alamar Blue (alamarBlue) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) colorimetric assays. Data were analysed via two-way ANOVA, one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test (significance was determined as p < 0.05 for all tests). RESULTS All the investigated materials showed high and comparable initial proliferation activities apart from ZrO₂ (46.92%), with P% of 79.91%, 68.77%, 73.20%, and 65.46% for Ti, TiN, CoCr, and m-PEEK, respectively. At day 10, all materials exhibited comparable and lower P% than day 1 apart from TiN (70.90%) with P% of 30.22%, 40.64%, 37.27%, and 50.65% for Ti, CoCr, ZrO₂, and m-PEEK, respectively. The cytotoxic effect of the investigated materials was generally low throughout the whole experiment. At day 10, the cytotoxicity % was 7.63%, 0.21%, 13.30%, 5.32%, 8.60% for Ti, TiN, CoCr, ZrO₂, and m-PEEK. The Two-way ANOVA and Tukey's Multiple Comparison Method highlighted significant material and time effects on cell proliferation and cytotoxicity, and a significant interaction (p < 0.0001) between the tested materials. Notably, TiN and m-PEEK showed improved HOB proliferation activity and cytotoxic levels than the other investigated materials. In addition, a non-significant negative correlation between viability and cytotoxicity was found for all tested materials. Ti (p = 0.07), TiN (p = 0.28), CoCr (p = 0.15), ZrO₂ (p = 0.17), and m-PEEK (p = 0.12). SIGNIFICANCE All the investigated materials showed excellent biocompatibility properties with more promising results for the newly introduced TiN and m-PEEK as alternatives to the traditionally used dental implant and abutment materials.

Effects of Marginal Bone Loss Progression on Stress Distribution in Different Implant-Abutment Connections and Abutment Materials: A 3D Finite Element Analysis Study. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 15:5866. [PMID: 36079245 PMCID: PMC9457366 DOI: 10.3390/ma15175866] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2022] [Revised: 08/18/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Peri-implantitis is a common implant-supported prosthesis complication, and marginal bone loss affects the stress distribution in implant systems. This three-dimensional finite element analysis study investigated how bone loss affects the implant assembly; in particular, models including two implant systems with different connection systems (external or internal hexagon), abutment materials (titanium or zirconia), and bone loss levels (0, 1.5, 3, or 5 mm) were created. We observed that the maximum von Mises stress distinctly increased in the groups with bone loss over 1.5 mm compared to the group without bone loss, regardless of the connection system or abutment material used. Moreover, the screw stress patterns with bone loss progression were determined more by the connection systems than by the abutment materials, and the magnitude of the stress on the fixture was affected by the connection systems with a similar pattern. The highest stress on the screw with the external hexagon connection system increased over 25% when bone loss increased from 3 to 5 mm, exceeding the yield strength of the titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) when 5 mm bone loss exists; clinically, this situation may result in screw loosening or fracture. The highest stress on the fixture, exceeding the yield strength of pure titanium, was noted with the internal hexagon connection system and 1.5 mm bone loss. Titanium and zirconia abutments-both of which are clinically durable-presented similar screw and fixture stress patterns. Therefore, clinicians should pay more attention to maintaining the peri-implant bone to achieve the long-term stability of the implant-supported prosthesis.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to search for complications of dental implant superstructures and consider the issues involved. This narrative review was performed by searching through PubMed databases and review articles that were published after 1990. Misfitting of the superstructure can result in loosening of screws, reduced preload, and in some cases, significant stress around the implant. External connection modalities and single implant prostheses have been reported to have more loose or broken abutment screws. In addition, when zirconia abutment was used for platform shifting, the rate of fracture of the abutment was considered to be high. Additionally, it was reported that men were significantly at an increased risk of abutment fracture. As for the retention mechanism of implant overdenture, stud attachment (Locator type) should receive more attention to wear and damage of retention parts than other attachments. The causes of the complications of implant superstructures have not been clarified in some cases, and further verification is required. Verification of complications is considered important to obtain a long-term prognosis for superstructures of implants. It will be necessary to further verify complications of implants in the future.

Abstract
Peri-implantitis is characterized by nonreversible and progressive loss of supporting bone and is associated with bleeding and/or suppuration on probing. Peri-implant disease is considered as the main etiologic factor related to implant failure. Peri-implant disease has a pathogenesis similar to that of periodontal disease, both being triggered by an inflammatory response to the biofilm accumulation. Although the prevalence of peri-implantitis has been evaluated by several clinical studies with different follow-ups, there are currently little data on the impact of implant location and the prevalence of peri-implantitis. The aim of this review, therefore, was to summarize the evidence concerning the prevalence of peri-implantitis in relation to implant location and associated risk predictors. Even though most studies evaluating the prevalence of peri-implantitis in relation to implant location are cross-sectional or retrospective, they suggest that the occurrence of peri-implantitis is most prevalent in the anterior regions of the maxilla and mandible. Moreover, it seems that there is a higher prevalence of peri-implantitis in the maxilla than in the mandible.

The Mechanical Behavior of a Screwless Morse Taper Implant-Abutment Connection: An In Vitro Study. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15093381. [PMID: 35591715 PMCID: PMC9103680 DOI: 10.3390/ma15093381] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2022] [Revised: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 05/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The use of screwless Morse taper implant−abutment connections (IAC) might facilitate the clinician’s work by eliminating the mechanical complications associated with the retention screw. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of artificial chewing on the long-term stability of screwless Morse taper IACs. Thirty-two implant abutments restored with an upper central incisor zirconia crown were used and divided into four groups according to the implant−abutment assembling manner (C1,H: screw retained (20 Ncm); C2: tapped; or C3: torqued (20 Ncm; the screws were removed before the dynamic loading)). All specimens were subjected to a cyclic loading (98 N) for 10 million chewing cycles. The survived samples were exposed to a pull-off force until failure/disassembling of the connection. All the samples revealed a 100% survival. Regarding the pull-off test, the screw-retained internal hexagonal IAC revealed significantly higher resistance to failure/disassembling (769.6 N) than screwless conical IACs (171.6 N−246 N) (p < 0.0001). The retention forces in the Morse taper groups were not significantly different (p > 0.05). The screw-retained hexagonal IAC showed the highest retention stability. The screw preload/retention in the conical IAC was lost over time in the group where the screws were kept in place during loading. Nevertheless, the screwless Morse taper IACs were stable for an extended service time and might represent a valid form of treatment for single-tooth replacement.

Zhang Y, Yu P, Yu H. Stress distribution and microgap formation in angulated zirconia abutments with a titanium base in narrow diameter implants: A 3D finite element analysis. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING 2022; 38:e3610. [PMID: 35490303 DOI: 10.1002/cnm.3610] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2021] [Revised: 04/18/2022] [Accepted: 04/27/2022] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE This in vitro study aimed to use failure stress and implant abutment interface (IAI) microgap size to find the compromised axial angle range of angulated zirconia abutments with a titanium base in narrow diameter implants in the esthetic region. MATERIALS AND METHODS A three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of maxillary central incisor implant prosthesis was reconstructed. Angulated zirconia abutments (0°, 15°, 30°, and - 15°) with a titanium base in narrow diameter implants (3.3*12 mm, Bone level, Roxolid SLActive, Straumann AG, Switzerland) were designed to simulate clinical scenarios of buccal inclination 0°, 15°, and 30°, and palatal inclination 15° of the implant long axis. Straight titanium abutment and pure titanium implant were used as two control groups. An oblique force at 30° inclination to the long axis of the crown was applied 3 mm below the incisal edge on the palatal surface of the prosthesis. Under simulated dynamic chewing force, the stress distribution of the implant components and surrounding bone were investigated. The relative micromotion displacement between the implant and abutment models at the IAI area was recorded, and the influence of tightening torque on the IAI microgap was evaluated. RESULTS The angulation of the zirconia abutment could affect the stress value and IAI microgap of implant restorations. When the zirconia abutment angle increased from -15 °to 30°, the stress on the central screw, titanium base, and surrounding bone tissue gradually increased by 9%, 20%, and 23%, respectively. The stress levels of the 30° zirconia abutment group showed the risk of exceeding the threshold. When the long axis of the implant was inclined in the palatal direction, the -15° angle abutment reduced the stress by 3% and reduced the strain level of the implant system by 17% and the surrounding bone tissue by 26%. Under simulated dynamic chewing load, the displacement between the implants and the abutment occurred in each group of the implant system, and the amplitude of the micromotion fluctuated with the change in the load. The horizontal displacement caused a 0.075-1.459 μm palatal microgap and 0.091-0.945 μm distal microgap in the IAI. The microgap between the lip and palate was more evident, and the vertical displacement difference was manifested as the abutment sliding down the implant. CONCLUSIONS In cases of upper implant restoration with difficulties such as small gaps and axial defects in the esthetic zone, the abutment angle is highly recommended to be in a slightly palatal-inclined direction or to not exceed 15° when the implant is inclined to the labial side to avoid mechanical damage and leakage caused by the appearance of excessively large micromotion gaps.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to comprehensively review the revolution of dental zirconia (Zir), including its types, properties, applications, and cementation procedures. A comprehensive search of PubMed and Embase was conducted. The search was limited to manuscripts published in English. The final search was conducted in October 2021. Newly developed monolithic Zir ceramics have substantially enhanced esthetics and translucency. However, this material must be further studied in vitro and in vivo to determine its long-term ability to maintain its exceptional properties. According to the literature, monolithic translucent Zir has had promising results and a high survival rate. Thus, the utilization of this material is indicated when strength and esthetics are needed. Both the materials and methods used for cementation of monolithic Zir have significantly improved, encouraging dentists to use this material, especially when a conservative approach is required. Zir restorations showed promising outcomes, particularly for monolithic Zir crowns supported with implant and fixed dental prostheses.

Abstract
Objectives To compare screw‐retained and cemented all‐ceramic implant‐supported single crowns regarding biological and technical outcomes over a 5‐year observation period. Materials and methods In 44 patients, 44 two‐piece dental implants were placed in single‐tooth gaps in the esthetic zone. Patients randomly received a screw‐retained (SR) or cemented (CR) all‐ceramic single crown and were then re‐examined annually up to 5 years. Outcome measures included: clinical, biological, technical, and radiographic parameters. Data were statistically analyzed with Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney, Wilcoxon, and Fisher's exact tests. Results During the observation period, three patients (6.8%) were loss to follow‐up. Eight restorations (18.2%, CI (8.2%, 32.7%)) were lost due to technical (6 patients, 13.6% (CI (5.2%, 27.4%)), 2 CR and 4 SR group, intergroup p = .673; implants still present) or biological complications (2 patients, 4.5% (CI (0.6%, 16.5%)), only CR group, intergroup p = .201, both implants lost). This resulted in a survival rate of 81.2% (CI (65.9%, 90.1%)) on the restorative level (18 SR; 15 CR, 3 lost to follow‐up). At the 5‐year follow‐up, the median marginal bone levels were located slightly apical relative to the implant shoulder with 0.4 mm (0.5; 0.3) (SR) and 0.4 mm (0.8; 0.3) (CR) (intergroup p = .582). Cemented restorations demonstrated a significantly higher biological complication rate (36.8%, SR: 0.0%; intergroup p = .0022), as well as a significantly higher overall complication rate (68.4%, SR: 22.7%, intergroup p = .0049). All other outcomes did not differ significantly between the two groups (p > .05). Conclusions All‐ceramic single‐tooth restorations on two‐piece dental implants resulted in a relatively low survival rate. Cemented restorations were associated with a higher biological and overall complication rate than screw‐retained restorations.

Abstract
Both fixed and removable implant‐supported prostheses are well‐established methods for replacing missing teeth in partially or fully edentulous patients. Numerous systematic reviews have been performed in recent years to evaluate the survival and complication rates of implant‐retained fixed dental prostheses and implant‐retained overdentures, displaying high 5‐year survival rates ranging from 97.1% for fixed dental prostheses to 95%‐100% for implant‐retained overdentures. However, the survival rates only represent the prostheses remaining in use for a defined follow‐up time, and do not account for the potential prosthetic complications that may have arisen and influence the general success of the implant treatment. The most common technical complications of fixed implant‐retained single crowns are crown fracture, fractures of ceramic implant abutments, and esthetic problems. The predominant technical complication at multiple‐unit, implant‐retained fixed dental prostheses is fracture/chipping of the veneering ceramic. Reported technical complications for implant‐retained overdentures are overdenture fracture or chipping of the veneer materials, whereas mechanical complications include implant fracture, attachment failure, and attachment housing or insert complications. To reduce the risk of such failures, a comprehensive pretreatment diagnostic work‐up is essential, including defining the prosthetic goal with the aid of a wax‐up or set‐up and the associated ideal, prosthetically oriented three‐dimensional implant position. Furthermore, selection of the ideal type of prosthesis, including the respective implant components and materials, is important for clinical long‐term treatment success.

Abstract
Dental implants with tapered conical connections are often combined with zirconia abutments for esthetics; however, the effect of the titanium base on the implant components remains unclear. This study evaluated the effects of a titanium base on the fracture resistance of zirconia abutments and damage to the tapered conical connection implants. Zirconia (Z) and titanium base zirconia (ZT) abutments were fastened to Nobel Biocare (NB) implants and Straumann (ST) implants and subjected to static load testing according to ISO 14801:2016. The experiments were performed with 3 mm of the platform exposed (P3) and no platform exposed (P0). The fracture loads were statistically greater in the titanium base abutments than the zirconia abutments for the NB and ST specimens in the P0 condition. In the P3 condition of the ST specimens, the deformation volume of the ZT group was significantly greater than the Z group. The titanium base increased the fracture resistance of the zirconia abutments. Additionally, the titanium base caused more deformation in the P3 condition. The implant joint design may also affect the amount of damage to the implants when under a load. The mechanical properties of the abutment should be considered when selecting a clinical design.

Abstract
PURPOSE The optimal abutment material and design for an angled implant-abutment connection in the esthetic zone is unclear. The purpose of this finite element analysis (FEA) study was to compare different abutment models by evaluating the stress values in the implant components and strain values on the simulated bone around an anterior maxillary implant with different angled abutment models and loading conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS One Ø3.5×12-mm implant was placed in 3D FEA models representing the anterior left lateral segment of the maxilla. Three different contemporary implant models were created with 17° or 25° angled abutments (Ti base abutment, zirconia abutment, and titanium abutment) and 3D-modeled. The implant abutment model was an angled Ti base abutment (TIB), an angled zirconia abutment (ZIR), or an angled titanium abutment (TIT). Vertical and oblique loads of 100 N for the central incisors were applied as boundary conditions to the cingulum area and incisal area in a nonlinear FEA. RESULTS The TIB model resulted in reduced stress conditions. According to the von Mises stresses occurring on the screw, abutment, crown, and implant, especially under oblique loads, the TIB model was exposed to less stress than the ZIR or TIT models. Strain values in simulated cortical and trabecular bones were obtained lower in the TIB model. CONCLUSIONS When a standard implant was placed in the esthetic zone at an increased angle, the implants, abutments, and screws had more unfavorable stress levels; therefore, using a Ti-base abutment may reduce stress. The amount of contact surface of the implant with the simulated cortical bone is also an important factor affecting stress and strain.

Abstract
Implant abutments are essential components in restoring dental implants. Titanium base abutments were introduced to overcome issues related to existing abutments, such as the unesthetic appearance of titanium abutments and the low fracture strength of ceramic abutments. This study aimed to comprehensively review studies addressing the mechanical and clinical behaviors of titanium base abutments. A search was performed on PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Scopus databases to find articles that were published in English until December 2020 and that addressed the review purpose. A total of 33 articles fulfilled the inclusion criteria and were included for data extraction and review.
In vitro
studies showed that titanium base abutments had high fracture strength, adequate retention values, particularly with resin cement, and good marginal and internal fit. Although the clinical assessment of titanium base abutments was limited, they showed comparable performance with conventional abutments in short-term evaluation, especially in the anterior and premolar areas. Titanium base abutments can be considered a feasible treatment option for restoring dental implants, but long-term clinical studies are required for a better assessment.

Abstract
Three-dimensional (3D) printing technology has developed rapidly and demonstrates great potential in biomedical applications. Although 3D printing techniques have good control over the macrostructure of metallic implants, the surface properties have superior control over the tissue response. By focusing on the types of surface treatments, the osseointegration activity of the bone-implant interface is enhanced. Therefore, this review paper aims to discuss the surface functionalities of metallic implants regarding their physical structure, chemical composition, and biological reaction through surface treatment and bioactive coating. The perspective on the current challenges and future directions for development of surface treatment on 3D-printed implants is also presented.

Esthetic, mechanical, and biological outcomes of various implant abutments for single-tooth replacement in the anterior region: a systematic review of the literature. Int J Implant Dent 2021; 7:85. [PMID: 34494174 PMCID: PMC8423965 DOI: 10.1186/s40729-021-00370-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2021] [Accepted: 06/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The choice of the appropriate implant abutment is a critical step for a successful outcome. Titanium abutments have demonstrated high survival rates, due to their excellent biocompatibility and high mechanical strength, although they often result in a grayish discoloration of the peri-implant mucosa. This esthetic concern culminated in the introduction of ceramic abutments. The aim of this review was to assess the esthetic, mechanical, and biological outcomes as well as the survival of the different types of abutments used for single-implant restorations in the anterior area. Material and methods An electronic search was conducted in Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Central databases using the appropriate Mesh terms and predetermined eligibility criteria. The quality of the studies was assessed using the ROB 2 tool. The last search was conducted on 18th of March 2020. Results From the 2074 records initially identified, 23 randomized controlled trials (32 publications) were included for qualitative analysis. Data were classified based on study information, specific characteristics of the intervention and comparator, and information related to the outcome measures. Seven studies exhibited an overall low risk of bias, while twelve studies raised some concerns. Conclusions The rate of abutment failure was low and was associated with the ceramic abutments, especially those with internal connection. Limited correlation was noted between soft tissue thickness and color difference. Titanium abutments caused significantly more discoloration to the soft tissues than ceramic abutments, while hueing (gold or pink) slightly improved their color performance. Zirconia allowed a better color match than titanium or gold abutments, still discolored slightly the soft tissues. The submucosally modified zirconia abutments exhibited encouraging results. No significant difference was reported between materials or different types of retention on recession, papillary fill, and biological outcomes.

Abstract
Background With various surgical and prosthetic component designs being introduced in dental implants, decisions have to be made when choosing a system and a certain prosthodontic protocol. A survey of implant prosthodontic specialists has not been previously performed in the Middle East. Aim This study aimed to determine selection criteria and choice of dental implants and restorations by prosthodontic specialists in the Emirate of Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Materials and Methods A validated 16-item questionnaire was used in the survey which included demographic information, implant training and experience, implant treatment planning, implant restoration, and implant system preference. The research protocol was approved by the Research and Ethics Committees of Hamdan Bin Mohammed College of Dental Medicine and Dubai Health Authority. Prosthodontists were identified from regulatory authority websites and contacted by e-mail with the questionnaire attached. Results A total of 84.6% (77) of the registered prosthodontists in Dubai completed the questionnaire with 66.2% reported practicing implant dentistry. Out of which, 54.9% reported surgically placing dental implants and 45.1% restore them only prosthetically. Prefabricated metal abutments were the most commonly selected abutments for single crowns (76.0%) and for fixed dental prostheses (66.7%). Screw retention is preferred mostly for single crowns (68.0%) and fixed dental prostheses (74.0%). Locators were the most commonly selected type of attachment for implant-retained/supported overdentures (49.0%). Conventional loading was the most selected type of loading in all oral conditions. Conclusion Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that most prosthodontists in Dubai practice implant dentistry and more than half surgically place dental implants. Prefabricated metal abutments are the most selected type of abutments. Most prosthodontists use screw-retained implant restorations and prefer locator attachments for implant-retained/supported overdentures. Conventional loading is the most preferred implant loading method in all oral conditions. Implant company/system selections are various and there is no major preference for a certain system. The majority of prosthodontists select implant systems based on implant features, literature review, and simplicity of restorative kit.

[PMID: 34443093 PMCID: PMC8401006 DOI: 10.3390/ma14164570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2021] [Revised: 07/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Introduction: Nowadays, the final success of implantation is not only based on obtaining osseointegration of the implant but is also determined by achieving a satisfactory aesthetic effect of the soft tissues surrounding the implant, which can be defined as an aesthetic integration. The process of obtaining this aesthetic integration already begins at the stage of placing the healing abutment, which allows us to obtain the emergence profile necessary for our prosthetic reconstruction. Materials and Methods: The study used cone-beam computer tomography (CBCT) scans of 51 patients. The measurements of the maxillary teeth (central incisor, lateral incisor, canine, first premolar, and first molar) were performed from cross-sections of the individual teeth at the transition zone to design a custom anatomic healing abutment milled from zirconium and luted to the non-index Ti-base. Results: The obtained results allowed to design and create the shape of the anatomic healing abutment. Conclusions: The use of laboratory-produced anatomical healing abutments is possible and may allow to obtain the desired and planned emergence profiles of prosthetic restorations. In addition, it might be a method of reducing work time at the dental chair but further clinical trials are necessary.

Peri-implant and esthetic outcomes of cemented and screw-retained crowns using zirconia abutments in single implant-supported restorations-A systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Oral Implants Res 2021; 32:1143-1158. [PMID: 34352144 DOI: 10.1111/clr.13824] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/29/2021] [Revised: 06/23/2021] [Accepted: 07/07/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the peri-implant tissue changes and esthetic outcomes of cemented and screw-retained crowns of single-tooth implants in the esthetic zone using zirconia abutments. MATERIAL AND METHODS An electronic search was performed on nine databases. The risk-of-bias was assessed by the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized (RoB 2) and non-randomized (ROBINS-I) clinical trials. Marginal bone level change, soft tissue thickness, bleeding on probing, probing depth, survival rates of implants and crowns, complications, plaque and papilla indexes, and pink esthetic score data were extracted and analyzed. The certainty of evidence was accessed through the GRADE approach. RESULTS Nine records were included and 7 were used in the meta-analyses. Screw-retained crowns presented greater marginal bone level change (MD -0.04 [-0.08, -0.00] p = 0.04, I2 = 0%) compared to cemented crowns up to 1-year. At 3 and 4 years no significant differences (p > 0.05) were observed. Soft tissue thickness did not differ between groups (p > 0.05). The bleeding on probing was higher in cemented group than in screw-retained crowns at 1-year (MD 0.17 [0.08, 0.27] p = 0.0005, I2 = 0%), at medium-term periods (3 and 4 years) no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05) were observed for this outcome. Probing depth, survival rates of implants and crowns, complications, and plaque index, as well as esthetic analysis using the papilla index and pink esthetic score did not differ statistically (p > 0.05) between both retention systems at short and medium-term periods. CONCLUSION The connection system considering zirconia abutments presented no influence on peri-implant parameters and esthetics evaluation for medium-term periods (3 and 4 years).

Abstract
Implant supported dental prostheses are increasingly used in dental practice. The aim of this narrative review is to present the influence of transmucosal surface of prosthetic abutment and implant on peri-implant tissue. The article describes causes of bone loss around the dental implant. Moreover, properties of different materials are compared and discussed. The advantages, disadvantages, and biomechanical concept of different implant-abutment connections are presented. The location of connections in relation to the bone level and the influence of microgap between the abutment and implant are described. Additionally, the implant abutments for cemented and screwed prosthetic restorations are compared. The influence of implant and abutment surface at the transmucosal level on peri-implant soft tissue is discussed. Finally, the biological aspect of abutment-implant connection is analyzed.

Abstract
Gingivafibroblasts were cultured on lithium disilicate, on zirconia dioxide, and on titanium with two different surface roughnesses (0.2 µm and 0.07 µm); Proliferation (MTT), Living/Dead staining, cytotoxicity (LDH), proliferation (FGF2), and inflammation (TNFα) were analyzed after 1 day and 21 days. Furthermore, alteration in cell morphology (SEM) was analyzed. The statistical analysis was performed by a Kruskal-Wallis test. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. There were no distinct differences in cellular behavior between the tested roughness. There were slight differences between tested materials. Cells grown on zirconia dioxide showed higher cytotoxic effects. Cells grown on lithium disilicate showed less expression of TNFα compared to those grown on zirconia dioxide or titanium. These effects persisted only during the first time span. The results indicate that the two tested high-strength ceramics and surface properties are biologically suitable for transmucosal implant components. The findings may help clinicians to choose the most appropriate biomaterial as well as the most appropriate surface treatment to use in accordance with specific clinical dental applications.

Survival Rate and Deformation of External Hexagon Implants with One-Piece Zirconia Crowns. METALS 2021. [DOI: 10.3390/met11071068] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the survival rates of several external hexagon implants directly connected to zirconia crowns after thermomechanical fatigue. The deformation of the hexagons and the integrity of zirconia crowns were also evaluated. A monolithic zirconia crown (Y-TZP) and four different external hexagon dental implants (n = 10, N = 40) were mounted together and embedded in polyurethane. The specimens were subjected to thermomechanical cycling for 2.5 × 106 cycles, at 3.0 Hz frequency, at 200 N loading. The interface of the implant/zirconia crown system, zirconia crowns integrity before and after cycling, and the implant hexagon surface were evaluated under stereomicroscopy and SEM. A nanohardness analysis was performed to verify the hardness of zirconia and implants. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier test, Multi-Sample Survival Tests, Logrank Test, (p = 0.05). The data did not show significant differences in the survival rates of different implant groups. However, some crowns presented fractures (16.67%) and the external hexagon region of the implants presented plastic deformations (100%). During chewing simulation, the interface between titanium implant and zirconia abutment can promote plastic deformation in the metal and surface defects in the ceramic. In addition, the types of interface defects can be affected by the external hexagon design.

Abstract
Subcrestal placement of implants may have interproximal bone proximity issues that interfere with submucosal contour of the implant-supported Zirconia restorations during delivery of these restorations. Modification of the mesial distal submucosal areas may be necessary to fully seat the restoration without impingement of the interproximal bone. Our aim was to determine if modification of submucosal cervical contour of implant supported zirconia titanium base (Zi-Ti base) restorations result in a significant change in fracture strength compared to Zi-Ti base restorations without any modification near the cervical submucosal area. Implant Zi-Ti base restorations, designed in the form of a maxillary premolar was made for the Straumann implant lab analog. Zirconia samples were cemented onto the Ti-base and the test group (N=20) underwent recontouring and polishing at the junction of the Zi-Ti-base cervical areas. The control group (N=20) did not undergo any modifications. All 40 samples underwent fracture testing with an Instron machine. We assessed differences between modified and unmodified implant restorations using a two-tailed t-test for independent samples. Fracture strength values (N) ranged from 4,354.68 to 6,412.49 in the test group (N=20) and from 5,400.31 to 6,953.22 in the control group (N=20). The average fracture strength in the control group (6,154.84 ± 320.50) was higher than in the modified group (5,593.13 ± 486.51; p<.001)). Modification of submucosal contour significantly decreased the fracture strength. However, the average fracture strength exceeded the masticatory forces of humans.

Abstract
The selective laser melting (SLM) of o-Cr-Mo-W/316L composite with 10 wt% Co-Cr-Mo-W addition to 316L stainless steel (SS) powder is produced to explore it’s the corrosion behavior. The tensile experiment of SLM composites is also measured to investigate the difference between the two samples. The optimum parameters of SLM 316L SS and it’s composite samples are obtained by adjusting laser power and scanning speed with the relative density of 99.04 ± 0.69 and 99.15 ± 0.43. The yield strength of samples is increased from 731.96 MPa to 784.09 MPa after doping, and no obvious crack or fracture failure in the tensile samples are observed, indicating that the excellent plasticity is still maintained. The corrosion resistance of samples is improved largely with an order of magnitude lower corrosion current density than that of 316L SS and increasing of 277 mv of epit Ep. The addition of Cr element in the doped powder contributes to the formation of the passivated film containing Cr. The different pitting corrosion pit occurs mainly around the pre-existing pores of the powder and further extends outward to form pits with the increase of voltage.

Abstract
Prosthetic intermediaries in oral implantology are attachments that allow connection between the implant and the prosthesis itself. Although this rehabilitation has a high success rate; the selection of the prosthetic abutment represents is important in implant treatment. Currently, there is a great variety of intermediate abutments, corresponding to various techniques and materials. Prosthetic intermediaries can be classified according to the type of connection, their retention to the prosthesis, their axial relationship with the implant body, the manufacturing material and type of manufacture, or whether rehabilitation is single or multiple. This scenario can lead to doubts as to the selection of the ideal implant attachment in each case in order to achieve satisfactory rehabilitation, as well as functional and aesthetic requirements and the preservation of biological principles. Indeed, oral implantology has revolutionized dentistry and will continue to expand the range of possibilities; therefore, it is important to classify the prosthetic options available. The present literature review aims to demonstrate the different alternatives and options available for the intermediate abutments most used in implant prostheses.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Currently many options are available for restoring a dental implant, although the ideal implant abutment for withstanding the occlusal load and the restorative material for fulfilling the esthetic need remains unclear. Zirconia (Zir) abutments offer good esthetics, but concerns still remain regarding their fracture strength, complex fabrication, and higher cost as compared with those of titanium (Ti) base abutments offering lower cost, acceptable esthetics, and a straightforward procedure. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the fracture strength and failure mode of single-tooth Zir and Ti base implant abutments with fatigue loading. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty restorations were included using 4 different types of abutment-restorations. Zir abutments with lithium disilicate crowns (ZirLd); titanium base abutments with custom Zir abutments and lithium disilicate crowns (TiZirLd); titanium base abutments with monolithic lithium disilicate abutment-crowns (TiLd); titanium base abutments with monolithic polymer-infiltrated ceramic abutment-crowns (TiEn). Specimens were subjected to a progressive cyclic loading by using a custom-made mastication simulator at a frequency of 1.4 Hz starting with a load of 88 N followed by stages of 170, 210, 250, and 290 N for a maximum of 20 000 cycles each or until fracture occurred. The number of cycles, maximum load, and failure modes were recorded. Statistical analysis was done by using the Mann-Whitney U test (α=.05). RESULTS Group TiEn showed a lower resistance to fatigue, with a mean ±standard deviation of 5054 ±123.3 cycles subjected to a mean force of 170 N. Groups ZirLd and TiLd resisted higher forces without fracture 13452.6 ±7094.3 cycles, and load of 178 ±16.9 N, followed by the TiLd group with a mean ±standard deviation of 25798.6 ±5498.7 cycles, and load of 202 ±16.9 N, while the TiZirLd group showed a mean of 48235.4 cycles subjected to a mean force of 258 N. The failure mode observed in the TiEn occurred only in the ceramic, whereas in the ZirLd and TiLd group, it was above the shoulder level of the Ti base abutment. Even though the TiZirLd group was able to withstand higher loads and a higher number of cycles, the failures were catastrophic and presented fractures of the titanium-base abutment and prosthetic screw. CONCLUSIONS The TiZirLd, ZirLd, and TiLd abutment-restorations have the potential to withstand the average physiological occlusal forces that occur in the anterior region. The group with the higher fatigue resistance was TiZirLd, although care should be taken with patients presenting parafunctional habits since the failure mode can be catastrophic. Also, polymer-infiltrated ceramic is not suitable for a Ti base abutment when subjected to oblique loading.

Abstract
To characterize the physicomechanical properties of an alumina-toughened zirconia (ATZ). ATZ synthesis consisted of the addition of alumina particles in an yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (3Y-TZP) matrix. Specimens were obtained by uniaxial and isostatic pressing ATZ and 3Y-TZP powders and sintering at 1600°C/1 h and 1550°C/1 h, respectively. Crystalline content and residual stress were evaluated using X-ray diffraction (XRD). Microstructure was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Optical properties were determined by reflectance test. Mechanical properties were assessed by biaxial flexural strength test. All analyses were performed before and after aging (134°C, 20 h, 2 bar). XRD and SEM revealed a typical ATZ and 3Y-TZP crystalline content, chiefly tetragonal phase, with a dense polycrystalline matrix, though a smaller grain size for ATZ. Aging triggered a similar monoclinic transformation for both systems; however, ATZ exhibited higher residual compressive stresses than 3Y-TZP. While as-processed 3Y-TZP demonstrated significantly higher characteristic strength relative to ATZ, no significant difference was observed after aging (~215 MPa increase in the ATZ strength). ATZ presented significantly higher opacity relative to 3Y-TZP, although aging significantly increased the translucency of both systems (increase difference significantly higher in the 3Y-TZP compared to ATZ). ATZ physicomechanical properties support its applicability in the dental field, with a lower detrimental effect of aging relative to 3Y-TZP.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Zirconia abutments with a titanium base are promising candidates to substitute for titanium abutments based on clinical studies reporting good short-term survival rates. However, information on the long-term performance of zirconia abutments supporting ceramic crowns is scarce. PURPOSE This in vitro comparative and finite element analysis study compared the fatigue life performance of ceramic computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) monolithic restorations and zirconia abutments fabricated with a chairside workflow connected to a titanium interface versus titanium abutments. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty-two internal connection implants were divided into 2 groups, one with a zirconia abutment and monolithic ceramic zirconia crown (ZZ) and the other with a titanium abutment and zirconia crown (TiZ). They were subjected to a fatigue test to determine the fatigue limit and fatigue performance of each group as per International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14801. Microstructural analysis of the fracture surfaces was conducted by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Simulations of the in vitro study were also conducted by means of finite element analysis (FEA) to assess the stress distribution over the different parts of the restoration. RESULTS The fatigue limit was 250 N for the TiZ group and 325 N for the ZZ group. In both groups, the screw was the part most susceptible to fatigue and was where the failure initiated. In the zirconia abutment models, the stress on the screw was reduced. CONCLUSIONS Chairside CAD-CAM zirconia abutments with a titanium base supporting zirconia crowns had higher fatigue fracture resistance compared with that of titanium abutments.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of implant screw channel angulation on the fracture resistance of zirconia abutments without artificial aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten implant replicas were embedded in a jig of autopolymerizing acrylic resin. Using a surveyor and a metallic platform, the implant replicas were mounted centrally and with an angulation of 30°. A maxillary left central incisor crown was fabricated from pattern resin and scanned. The digital design of a monolithic zirconia implant abutment-crown was completed using a 3D imaging software. For all specimens of this group (ASC25 ), the screw channel was positioned at 25° to the lingual. Following fabrication, the samples were attached onto the embedded implant replicas and manually torqued to 35 Ncm as recommended by the manufacturer. The monolithic zirconia implant abutment-crowns were mounted in a metallic platform, positioned perpendicular to the indenter, and subjected to loading until failure. Crosshead speed was set at 0.5 mm/min for the universal testing machine. Data from a similar in vitro study where straight zirconia custom abutments (ASC0 ) were subjected to static load until failure was used as a control group. An unpaired Student's t-test was used to determine if fracture resistance based on load at failure and maximum load in each group were significantly different from each other (ASC25 vs ASC0 ). Statistical significance level was inferred at p ≤ 0.05 RESULTS: Group ASC25 fractured at a mean (SD) load of 215.49 (47.10) N and a mean (SD) maximum load of 420.50 (17.18) N. Group ASC0 fractured at a mean (SD) load of 534.04 (133.77) N and a mean (SD) maximum load of 762.69 (109.59) N. The difference was statistically significant for both mean load and mean maximum load at failure (p ≤ 0.05). The survival rate of 0° zirconia abutments was significantly higher than that of 25° ASC zirconia abutments. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this in vitro study the mean fracture load was significantly higher in the group with a straight channel angulation.

Optimizing the esthetic outcome by using screw-retained implant abutment crowns: A 3-year clinical follow-up. J Prosthet Dent 2020; 126:608-615. [PMID: 33160619 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2020.09.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2020] [Revised: 09/14/2020] [Accepted: 09/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
This clinical report describes a ceramic complete-mouth rehabilitation with screw-retained implant abutment crowns, optimizing esthetics by combining the properties of ceramic materials. The abutments connected a titanium insert to a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) monolithic zirconia framework, offering improved esthetics and biologic response without negatively affecting the implant abutment interface. Lithium disilicate crowns were cemented extraorally on the abutments, resulting in a screw-retained restoration.

Biomechanical effects of original equipment manufacturer and aftermarket abutment screws in zirconia abutment on dental implant assembly. Sci Rep 2020; 10:18406. [PMID: 33110137 PMCID: PMC7591477 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-020-75469-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2020] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The use of aftermarket computer-aided design/computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) prosthesis components in dental implants has become popular. This study aimed to (1) compare the accuracy of aftermarket CAD/CAM screws with that of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) abutment screws and (2) examine the biomechanical effects of different abutment screws used with zirconia abutment in an implant fixture by using three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). Significantly different measurements were obtained for the aftermarket CAD/CAM and OEM screws. The FEA results indicated that under the same loading condition, the maximum stress of the aftermarket CAD/CAM screws was 15.9% higher than that of the OEM screws. Moreover, the maximum stress position occurred in a wide section of the OEM screws but in the narrowest section of the aftermarket screws. The stress of the OEM zirconia abutment was 14.9% higher when using the aftermarket screws than when using the OEM screws. The effect of the manufacturing differences between aftermarket and OEM screws on the clinical effect of aftermarket screws is unpredictable. Therefore, aftermarket screws should be cautiously used clinically.
