چکیده
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Clinicians must know if a new screw can predictably increase reverse torque after multiple screw insertion cycles. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was (1) to compare the effect of multiple implant prosthetic screw insertion and removal cycles on reverse torque, (2) to determine whether a new screw, after multiple screw insertion cycles, affects reverse torque, and (3) to assess implant and prosthetic screw thread surface morphology with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). MATERIAL AND METHODS One primary screw was paired with an implant (MT Osseospeed) and inserted to 25 Ncm torque 9, 19, 29, or 39 times (n=10). Primary screw reverse torque values were recorded after each insertion. A second, reference screw was then paired with each implant for a final screw insertion, and reverse torque was measured. Maximum, minimum, median, and mean values (P(max), P(min), P(median), and P(mean)) were identified for primary screws. A 1-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD post hoc analysis assessed the influence of multiple screw insertion cycles on P(max), P(min), P(median), and P(mean) values (α=.05). Confidence intervals were used to test differences between reference (REF) screw data and corresponding DMAX and DMIN (DMAX=P(max)-REF; DMIN=P(min)-REF). The surface topography of an unused implant and screw and of 1 implant and screw from each group was evaluated with SEM. RESULTS Pairwise comparisons showed that 9 or fewer insertion cycles resulted in significantly greater mean reverse torque (20.9 ± 0.5 Ncm; P<.01). After 19, 29, or 39 cycles, the second, reference screw achieved significantly greater reverse torque than the minimum recorded values (P<.05). Implant thread surface morphology changes occurred primarily during the first 10 insertions. CONCLUSIONS After 10 screw insertion cycles, a new prosthetic screw should be used with the implant system tested to maximize screw reverse torque and maintain preload when an abutment is definitively placed.

This study measured the screw joint preload of the implant-abutment interface for 7 common hex-top abutment systems. Increasingly, prosthetic designs are utilizing a direct prosthetic connection to the implant, placing the implant-abutment screw joint under direct functional loads and moments. Sufficiently high screw joint preloads are required to maintain screw joint integrity and confer clini...

متن کاملEffect of Abutment Connection Type and Cyclic Loading on Removal Torque Value
Background and Aim: Maintaining the primary torque of the abutment screw is a common problem related to implant-supported restorations; a failure in this respect often leads to screw loosening. The abutment screw plays a critical role in the long-term stability of restorations. This study aimed to assess the effect of two abutment connection types with and without cyclic loading on removal torq...
