Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a titanium component for the zirconia abutment in the internal connection implant system on screw loosening under thermocycling conditions. Materials and Methods: Internal connection titanium abutments and external connection zirconia abutments with titanium sockets were connected respectively to screw-shaped internal connection type titanium implants with 30 Ncm tightening. These implant-screw-abutment assemblies were divided into two groups of five specimens each; titanium abutments as control and zirconia abutments with titanium sockets as experimental group. The specimens were subjected to 2,000 thermocycles in water baths at $5^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$, with 60 seconds of immersion at each temperature. The removal torque values (RTVs) of the abutment screws of the specimen were measured before and after thermocycling. RTVs pre- and post-thermocycling were investigated in statistics. Results: There was not screw loosening identified by tactile and visual inspection in any of the specimens during or after thermocycling. The mean RTV difference for the control group and the experimental group were $-1.34{\pm}2.53Ncm$ and $-1.26{\pm}2.06Ncm$, respectively. Statistical analysis using an independent t-test revealed that no significant differences were found in the mean RTV difference of the groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, the titanium socket for the zirconia abutment did not show a significant effect on screw loosening under thermal stress compared to the titanium abutment in the internal connection implant.

목적: 이 연구의 목적은 타이타늄 구성요소를 가진 지르코니아 지대주가 내부연결 임플란트에 사용되었을 때 나사 풀림에 대해 알아보는 것이다. 열순환 후 타이타늄 소켓을 가진 지르코니아 지대주와 타이타늄 지대주의 나사 풀림과 제거력을 비교 분석하였다. 연구 재료 및 방법: 내측연결 임플란트와 내측연결 타이타늄 지대주, 타이타늄 소켓을 가진 외측연결 지르코니아 지대주를 준비하였다. 내부연결형 임플란트에 5개의 타이타늄 지대주를(대조군), 타이타늄 소켓을 가진 5개의 지르코니아 지대주(실험군)를 각각 연결하고 30 Ncm의 토크로 조인 후 열순환 처리 전후의 지대주 나사 제거력을 측정하였다. 각 시편들은 열순환 장치의 수조에서 $5^{\circ}C$와 $55^{\circ}C$의 물에 60초씩 교대로 2,000회의 열순환을 시행하였다. 각 시편의 나사 풀림을 조사하고 열순환 전후에 나사 제거력을 통계학적으로 분석하였다. 결과: 두 그룹 모두에서 열순환 후 지대주 나사 풀림을 보이지 않았다. 열순환 전후의 나사 제거력 차이는 대조군에서 $-1.34{\pm}2.53Ncm$, 실험군에서 $-1.26{\pm}2.06Ncm$ 로 나타났다. 독립표본 T 통계분석 결과 두 군간에 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(P > 0.05). 결론: 이 실험의 결과 내에서 내부연결 임플란트를 위한 지르코니아 지대주 내 타이타늄 소켓이 열순환 후 지대주 나사풀림에 타이타늄 지대주와 비교하여 유의한 영향을 나타내지 않았다.
