Purpose: To evaluate the effect of blasting and bonding on abutment surface to prevent screw loosening in Morse taper connections.
Material And Methods: Twenty-eight Morse taper connection implants were divided into 4 groups: no treatment (G1), blasting (G2), bonding (G3), and blasting + bonding (G4). In groups G2 and G4, the abutments were blasted with aluminum oxide granules; in groups G3 and G4, the conical abutment region was covered with a thin layer of bond thread lock agent. In all implants, the abutment-implant joint was tightened at a torque of 35 Ncm. The specimens were submitted to the mechanical cycling, under an oblique load for 1.0 × 10 cycles. The torque was measured with a digital torque meter. Data were analyzed by the t test, one-way analysis of variance, and Tukey tests (95%).
Results: The loosening strength was significantly higher in group G4 (35.83 ± 3.02 Ncm). There was no significant difference among groups G1 (25.86 ± 1.96 Ncm), G2 (25.86 ± 3.29 Ncm), and G3 (26.14 ± 2.12 Ncm).
Conclusion: The association of blasting and bonding on abutment surface can be used to prevent screw loosening in Morse taper implants.

Purpose: This study assessed the microgap width and adhesion of three bacterial species in four dental implants with different interlocks under four screwing torques.
Materials And Methods: Ten samples of four implant systems with various interlockings, including full-hexagonal (FHI), cylindrical-conical trilobe-index (TLI), Morse-taper with octagon terminal index (OI), and hexagonal interlock (slip-fit) (HI-SF), were used. The abutments were screwed to the fixtures under torques of 10, 20, 30, and 40 Ncm.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a single dose of ionizing radiation (30 Gy) on the osseointegration of implants in the rabbit tibia. Twenty rabbits received two dental Morse-tapered junction implants and one implant in each tibia. The animals were randomly divided into two groups (n=10), non-irradiated (NoIr) and irradiated (Ir), wherein the Ir group received a single dose of 30 Gy radiation 2 weeks after implant installation.

Statement Of Problem: The biomechanical stability of the implant-prosthesis assembly and its maintenance under function is a determining factor in the success of implant prosthesis rehabilitation, but studies of different angular tapers are lacking.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the axial displacement and torque loss of prosthetic abutments with Morse-type connections of different angular tapers after thermomechanical cycling by using microcomputed tomography (µCT) and a digital torque wrench.
Material And Methods: Eighteen Ø3.

The present study evaluated the mechanical behavior of five designs of Morse taper (MT) connections with and without the application of loads. For this, the detorque of the fixing screw and the traction force required to disconnect the abutment from the implant were assessed. A total of 100 sets of implants/abutments (IAs) with MT-type connections were used, comprising five groups ( = 20/group): (1) Group Imp 11.
