Implant-Abutment Interface: A Comparison of the Ultimate Force to Cause Failure between Small Diameter Implant Systems

Limited available alveolar ridge bone or space deficiencies are some of the challenging scenarios, which led to the development of the narrow diameter implants. Several dental implant companies have developed narrow diameter implants with different designs. Clinicians often have concerns about the durability and function of the narrow diameter implants. The purpose of this study was to explore and compare the ultimate failure resistance of the smallest diameter of the two- stage type implant provided by five commonly used dental implant systems. Thirty implants (Astra OsseoSpeed 3.0mm and 3.5mm (Astra Tech AB, Mölndal, Sweden), Straumann Bone Level 3.3mm (Straumann AG, Basel, Switzerland), Zimmer Tapered Screw-Vent 3.7mm (Zimmer Dental Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA), Biomet 3i Full OSSEOTITE Certain 3.25mm (Palm Beach Gardens, FL, USA) and Noble Biocare Speedy Replace 3.5mm(Gothenburg, Nobel Biocare, Sweden)), five from each type, were tested in this study. A rigid clamp was used to hold the implants in a 30-degree angle to the static load vector. Load continued until the sample broke or obviously deformed. Peak loads were recorded at that point for all the studied implant systems. The mean fracture/deformation peak load values were 367.2 N, 568.8 N, 576.2 N, 802.8 N, 679.0 N and 553.4 N respectively. Generally, implants with larger diameters showed higher amount of load to failure, in comparison to narrower diameter implants. Ti-Al-V alloy implants generally took more force to cause failure than CP Ti implants. As always, laboratory results should be verified by clinical trials.
