A COMPARISON OF RESISTANCE TO FRACTURE AND DEFORMATION BETWEEN ONE AND TWO-PIECE SMALL DIAMETER DENTAL IMPLANTS

Jacobs, James Owen

Abstract Details

2009, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Dentistry.
Small diameter dental implants have been developed to overcome clinical settings of limited bone and dental spacing. These small diameter implants are available as a two-piece implant and prosthetic abutment or a one-piece implant. A concern with small diameter implants is an increased predisposition to implant and abutment fracture. The purpose of this research is to explore the strength characteristics of one and two-piece small diameter implants. 10 Astra Tech OsseoSpeed Ø3.0 x 13mm implants with Ø4.0 2mm TiDesign abutments (two-piece) where compared with 10 BioHorizons one-piece Ø3.0 x 15mm implants (one-piece). The implants were secured in a rigid clamp and subjected to static loading. The mean peak load was recorded for the specimens as well as load/displacement data. The mean peak load values for the one and two-piece implants were 414 N and 187 N respectively. The one-piece implants were significantly stronger than the two-piece implants. The practitioner should utilize careful patient selection when using two-piece small diameter implants.
