Abstract

Objectives: This study evaluated the screw joint stability after cyclic loading of implant-supported titanium and zirconia CAD/CAM frameworks for fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) with different retention methods. Material and methods: Twenty four one-piece frameworks supported by six threaded implants placed in the maxilla were fabricated using a CAD/ CAM technique (NeoShape). Dry-pressed porcelain crowns were luted to the frameworks to standardize the specimens. The specimens were then divided into four groups (n = 6) according to framework material (titanium or zirconia) and retention method for the prosthesis (cement-or screw-retained): G1, Ti-cemented; G2, Ti-screw-retained; G3, Zr-cemented; and G4, Zr-screw-retained. A digital torque ratchet was used to assess the initial preload removal torque. Torque was then reapplied and the specimens were submitted to a 200 N cyclic load, at a frequency of 2 Hz, underwater in controlled temperature of 37 degrees, and for 1 x 10(6) cycles. An opposing lower dental arch was fabricated using bis-acrylic resin to simulate occlusal contacts in centric. After cyclic loading, postload removal torque was measured. Preload and postload torque loss was expressed as a percentage of the initial load. Data were submitted to a linear mixed-effects model for statistical significance (alpha = 0.05) to evaluate the effect of cyclic loading in the screw torque loss used with frameworks of different materials and retention methods. Results: Significant screw torque loss (%) was found for the tested groups (before/after cyclic loading, respectively): G1 (39.77/61.83), G2 (37.57/50.96), G3 (34.87/54.10), and G4 (47.56/73.50) (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The screw removal torque was significantly reduced for all groups in this study after cyclic loading the specimens. Screw-retained zirconia specimens presented the highest torque loss before and after the cyclic loadings compared with the other specimens that were tested. (AU)
