The results of this study showed that, over time, bacteria will leak through the implant-abutment microgap at the implant-abutment interface. Implants with a titanium abutment demonstrate a smaller microgap than implants with a zirconia abutment. למד עוד

Conclusion: While clone abutments may look similar to the original component, they display considerable differences and variations in their physico-mechanical characteristics detectable by advanced testing methods. How much these differences affect reliability and longevity of the restoration's clinical performance should be investigated in clinical studies. למד עוד

Premature loss of dental implants is due, apart from mechanical factors, to germrelated inflammation. Gaps and hollow spaces within the implant system, for example the gap between implant and abutment in the two-part implant system, may provide a bacterial reservoir causing or maintaining inflammation. The bacterial spectrum involved is similar to that found in periodontitis. This in vitro study aimed to scrutinise the capability of Porphyromonas gingivalis (DSM 20709), the bacterium blamed for inducing peri-implantitis, to pass the implant/abutment gap in titanium implant systems used for orthodontic anchorage and to remain vital in the interior. Additionally, the in vitro effectiveness of gutta percha for gap sealing was examined. Twelve titanium implants (Straumann, diameter: 3.3 mm, length 5.5 mm) were provided with abutments at a defined torque (20 Ncm), six of which were sealed with gutta percha before screwing in the abutment. Subsequently the implants were placed in a nutrient solution (thioglycolate boullion with haemin-menadione solution) that contained Porphyromonas gingivalis. Microbiological specimens were sampled from the implant interiors after 24 and 72 hours and analysed using culture methods. There was evidence that penetration of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis to the implant interior may occur as early as after 24 hours. Microbes were also detected in the interior of implants sealed with gutta percha. The abutment/implant interface in vitro provides a microbiological leakage for the prospective peri-implantitis-inducing bacterium Porphyromonas gingivalis. Survival of the bacterium is possible in the interior, so that development of a bacterial reservoir is assumed. This in vitro trial produced no evidence that sealing with gutta percha is an effective means to prevent secondary bacterial colonisation in the implant interior. למד עוד

Conclusions: The reported results are better to those of previous studies carried out on different implant systems. Until now, none implant-abutment system has been proven to seal the gap between implant and abutment. למד עוד

Conclusion: The reported results are similar to previous work. Konus Implant System® showed bacterial leakage similar respect others implant systems (18% Porphiromonas Gingivalis, 19% Tannerella Forsitya versus 20% of Bicon© and Ankylos ® systems). In spite of the limits of our study, none two-piece implant system has been demonstrated to perfectly close the gap between implant and abutment. למד עוד

Different implant-abutment connections have been developed in the effort of reducing mechanical and biological failure. The most frequent complications are screw loosening, abutment or implant fracture and marginal bone loss due to overload and bacterial micro-leakage. Ideal connection should work as a one-piece implant avoiding the formation of a micro-gap at the implant-abutment interface. Different in vitro and in vivo researches have been published to compare the implant-abutment connections actually available: external hexagon, internal hexagon and conical finding different amount of micro-gap, micro-leakage and marginal bone loss. The aim of this article is to describe, according to the most recent literature, different kind of fixture-abutment connections and their clinical and mechanical advantages or disadvantages. למד עוד

Conclusion: FEA proved to be an adequate method for studying microgap formation in dental implant-abutment complexes. FEA is not limited in gap width resolution as are radiologic techniques and can also provide insight into stress distributions within the loaded complex. למד עוד

Conclusions: The abutment removal force or torque was not affected by mechanical cycling. Bacterial sealing of the implant/abutment tapered interface was not effective for any condition analyzed. Imprecise machining of implant parts does not allow a sufficient contact area between surfaces to provide effective sealing and prevent bacterial leakage. למד עוד

Conclusions: Implant's internal contamination shows that IAC is not sealing. The reported results are similar to those of previous studies carried out on different implant systems. Until now, no IAC has been proven to seal the gap between implant and abutment. למד עוד

Abstract Gaps and hollow spaces at the implant abutment interface will act as a bacterial reservoir that may cause peri-implantitis. Hence, the sealing ability of O-ring (in addition to polysiloxane) and GapSeal (an antibacterial sealing gel) was evaluated. A total of 45 identical implant systems (ADIN Dental Implant Systems) were divided into 3 groups of 15 implants each: an unsealed group, a group sealed with O-rings, and a group sealed with GapSeal gel. The implant and abutment were gamma sterilized after assembly. Two implants from each group were randomly incubated in sterile brain heart infusion (BHI) broth tubes and checked for sterility. The remaining 13 implants were incubated in BHI broth inoculated with Enterococcus and incubated for 5 days. They were then removed from the tubes, dried aseptically, placed in 2% sodium hypochlorite solution for 30 minutes, and washed with sterile saline for 5 minutes. Next, the assembly was dried aseptically and put in sterile BHI broth tubes and incubated for 24 hours to check surface sterility. Keeping 2 implants as controls from each group, the remaining 11 implants were dismantled group-wise and placed in liquid BHI broth; the test tubes were then shaken thoroughly so that the broth would come in contact with all implant surfaces. The solution from this tube was poured on pre-prepared sterile agar plates and incubated for 24 hours. The colonies formed on the agar plate were then counted using a digital colony counter. The data thus obtained were subjected to statistical analysis by Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance and Mann-Whitney U test. It was concluded that though microbial growth is seen in all the 3 groups, the least growth was seen in the GapSeal group followed by the O-ring group. למד עוד

Conclusions: The data presented here demonstrate that dental implants fabricated with gap-free abutments using a shape memory alloy showed significantly reduced bacterial leakage versus conventional implants. This improvement could minimize clinical problems such as peri-implantitis and consequently enhance the long-term success of dental implants. למד עוד

Conclusion: There was a significant difference related to the strength of tightening. Under the conditions of our experiment, the gap of connection was reduced with a torque of ≥20 N cm. Only a small portion of the clinicians could obtain these values by hand. Therefore, a dynamometrical manual wrench should be used to minimize the gap during the osseointegration period. למד עוד
