چکیده
PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between microleakage and screw loosening at different types of implant-abutment connections and/or geometries measuring the torque values before and after the leakage tests. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three different abutment types (Intenal hex titanium, internal hex zirconium, morse tapered titaniuım) with different geometries were connected to its own implant fixture. All the abutments were tightened with a standard torque value then the composition was connected to the modified fluid filtration system. After the measurements of leakage removal torque values were re-measured. Kruskal-wallis test was performed for non-parametric and one-way ANOVA was performed for parametric data. The correlation was evaluated using Spearman Correlation Test (α=0.05). RESULTS Significantly higher microleakage was found at the connection of implant-internal hex zirconium abutment. Observed mean torque value loss was also significantly higher than other connection geometries. Spearman tests revealed a significant correlation between microleakage and screw loosening. CONCLUSION Microleakage may provoke screw loosening. Removing torque values rationally decrease with the increase of microleakage.

Effect 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...

Background and Aim: Screw loosening is a common problem with both screw-retained and cemented implant restorations. It is assumed that the abutment diameter affects detorque value and screw loosening. We aimed to determine the effect of two different abutment diameters on detorque value using cyclic loading and thermocycling. Materials and Methods: This in-vitro experimental study was conducte...

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...
