Introduction: Implantology has become a primary solution for tooth loss due to excellent osseointegration and high long-term success rates. However, complications such as abutment screw loosening, especially in implant-supported single crowns, compromise prosthesis longevity. Anaerobic adhesives (AAs) have shown promise in mechanical fields for preventing screw loosening, but their effectiveness in dental implants, particularly zirconia, remains uncertain.

However, due to its low bioavailability and unfavorable pharmacokinetics, analogous compounds have been developed to obtain better biopharmaceutical characteristics and enhanced biological effects.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine if using an anaerobic adhesive on abutment screws impacts the stability of dental implants, specifically comparing external hexagon (EHC) and conical connections (CC).
- - Twenty implants were tested using a digital torque meter and resonance frequency measurements to gauge implant stability, revealing that ISQ values were lower after applying the adhesive.
- - Results indicated that while the adhesive reduced ISQ readings, its curing time had no additional effect on the stability, suggesting that comparisons of ISQ values between adhesive-treated and untreated screws are invalid.
Primary Stability and Fracture Resistance of Zirconia and Titanium Implants: A Paired Comparative In Vitro Study.
Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants
May 2024
Purpose: Compare Neodent Zi® zirconia implants' insertion torque (IT) and removal torque (RT) with Neodent Alvim® titanium. Measure the maximum torque supported by the zirconia implant until its fracture (MT) and the maximum torque sustained by the assembler of this implant (MTA) until its fracture.
Material And Methods: In this in-vitro study twenty four implants were used.
Reliability and validity of cross‑culturally adapted oral health‑related quality‑of‑Life instruments for Brazilian children and adolescents: a systematic review.
BMC Oral Health
February 2024
Objective: This systematic review aimed to review the reliability and validity of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) questionnaires for Brazilian children and adolescents. Also, the cross-cultural adaptation was evaluated.
Methods: This systematic review is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022300018) and was performed based on the COSMIN guideline.
