Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different levels of unilateral angular misfit on preload maintenance of retention screws of single implant-supported prostheses submitted to mechanical cycling.
Materials And Methods: Premachined UCLA abutments were cast with cobalt-chromium alloy to obtain 48 crowns divided into four groups (n=12). The crowns presented no misfit in Group A (control group) and unilateral misfits of 50 μm, 100 μm and 200 μm in the groups B, C and D, respectively. The crowns were attached to external hexagon implants with a titanium retention screw with torque of 30 N/cm. Oblique loading of 130 N at 2 Hz was applied on each replica, totalizing 5×10⁴ and 1×10⁶ cycles. Detorque values were measured initially and after each cycling period. Data were evaluated by analysis of variance and Tukey's HSD test (p<0.05).
Results: All groups presented reduced initial detorque values (p<0.05) in comparison to the insertion torque (30±0.5 N/cm) and Group A (25.18 N/cm) exhibited the lowest reduction. After mechanical cycling, all groups presented detorque values from 19.5 N/cm to 22.38 N/cm and the mechanical cycling did not statistically influence the detorque values regardless the misfit level of the replicas.
Conclusion: The unilateral misfit influenced the preload maintenance only before mechanical cycling. The mechanical cycling did not influence the torque reduction.

This study investigated the effects of antirotational titanium bases on the mechanical behavior of CAD/CAM titanium bases used for implant-supported prostheses. The aim was to assess the impact on the marginal fit, fatigue behavior, stress concentration, and fracture load of implant-supported CAD/CAM zirconia crowns. Forty titanium implants were divided into two groups: those with antirotational titanium bases (ARs) and those with rotational titanium bases (RTs).

A total of 46 patients were restored with a total of 102 free-standing implant-supported layered zirconia crowns, which were bonded to their respective abutments in the dental laboratory and delivered as a one-piece screw-retained crown. Baseline, 1-year, and 2-year data were collated on pocket probing depth, bleeding on probing, marginal bone levels, and mechanical complications.

The purpose of this review is to search for complications of dental implant superstructures and consider the issues involved. This narrative review was performed by searching through PubMed databases and review articles that were published after 1990. Misfitting of the superstructure can result in loosening of screws, reduced preload, and in some cases, significant stress around the implant.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the misfit and screw preload at the implant abutment connection of implant supported fixed dental prosthesis with cantilever (ICFDP) manufactured using different digital manufacturing techniques and to compare the screw preload before and after cyclic loading.
Materials And Methods: Mandibular jaw model with four intra-foraminal implants was scanned using digital scanner. Stereolithography file was used to design a framework with nonengaging (NE) abutments and 10 mm cantilever distal to one terminal implant.

Article Synopsis
- Different implant-abutment connections aim to minimize mechanical and biological failures, which commonly include screw loosening, fractures, and bacterial leakage.
- The review evaluates factors such as the retention of preload, deformation at connections, and the sealing ability against microleakage through a literature search from various databases.
- Findings indicate that conical abutments are associated with fewer mechanical issues and improved torque maintenance, while internal hexagon and conical implants exhibit lower microleakage under dynamic conditions, suggesting a need for additional research.
