Abstract

The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinical efficiency of tungsten carbide/carbon coating on obtaining optimal preload of abutment screw compared with non-coated screw in external-hex implant system. In the present work, rotational value and the compressive force between abutment and fixture of abutment screws without coating and with coating tightened to 30Ncm were measured. Mean compressive force of coated screw was 504.6N. Then uncoated screw was tightened to clamping the abutment and the implant to 504.6N, and the tightening torque value and the rotational value was recorded. The following conclusions were drawn within the limitation of this study. Compressive force of coated screw was higher than that of uncoated screw after tightening at 30Ncm. The tightening torque that was nedeed to clamping the uncoated screw equal to coated screw tightened to 30Ncm was 55.6Ncm. In case of equal compressive force, there was no significant difference in rotation value between coated and uncoated screw.

본 연구는 external butt joint 연결 형태를 가진 임플랜트 시스템에서 티타늄 합금 나사와 텅스텐 카바이드와 탄소로 코팅한 나사의 압축력 및 조임 회전각 측정을 통해 동일한 전하중을 얻는 데 있어 코팅나사 사용이 갖는 임상적 효율성을 간접적으로 비교해 보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 Osstem Implant의 US II 시스템 고정체(${\phi}=4mm$)와 Cemented abutment를 사용하여 티타늄 합금(Ta) 지대주 나사 및 텅스텐 카바이드와 탄소로 표면 처리한(WC/CTa) 지대주 나사에 30Ncm의 조임 회전력을 적용한 후 압축력 및 조임 회전각을 측정하였다. 다음 WC/CTa 지대주 나사에서 측정된 압축력의 평균값을 계산하고 이를 Ta 지대주 나사에 적용하여 동일한 압축력이 가해질 때의 조임 회전력 값을 측정하였다. 그리고 실험결과 측정된 조임 회전력의 평균값을 Ta 나사에 적용한 후 조임 회전각을 측정하여 비교해 본 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 30Ncm의 조임 회전력에서 텅스텐 카바이드/탄소 코팅 나사가 티타늄 합금 나사보다 압축력과 회전각이 더 높게 나타났다. 텅스텐 카바이드/탄소 코팅 나사에 30Ncm의 조임 회전력을 적용하여 발생한 압축력을 얻기 위해서는 티타늄 합금 나사의 경우 55.6Ncm의 조임 회전력이 필요하였으며, 회전각에는 두 나사 간에 차이가 없었다.
