Abstract:

This study evaluated the stress behavior of single (S) and two (T) implants retained mandibular overdentures on periimplantar and alveolar bone regions. Photoelastic mandible models (n=14) were obtained from transfer impression of implant analogs inserted in prototypes varying implant locations in the canines or middle regions, design of implants as regular (RI) or one-piece mini implants (MI), implant/abutment connection as morse taper (CM), internal hexagon (HI), external hexagon (HE) and attachments as ball (B) and equator (E). The S and T overdentures over the photoelastic models (RI/HI/B); (RI/HE/B); (MI/B); (RI/CM/E); (RI/ HI/E); (RI/HE/E) were positioned on a circular polariscope, submitted to a bilateral load (150 N) on first molars and photographed. Stress distribution was qualitatively analyzed (software fringes) according to isochromatic fringes orders (0 black; 1 violet/blue transition; 2, 3, 4 red/green transition); the greater the number and proximity of the fringes, the higher the stress. The lowest stress on periimplantar was found in (MI/B order 1) followed by (RI/CM/E order 1); (RI/CM/B order 1); (RI/HI/B order 1); (RI/HI/E order 1 and 2); (RI/HE/E order 2 and 3), (RI/HE/B order 2 and 3) for S group and in (MI/B order 1), (RI/HI/B order 1); (RI/CM/B order 1); (RI/HE/B order 1); (RI/HE/E order 1 and 2); (RI/HI/E order 2), (RI/CM/B order 2) for T group. The worst situation was presented by S groups (RI/HE/B) and (RI/HE/E). Overall, for MI, the phostoelasticity showed the lowest stress on implants and the highest and best distributed stress on alveolar bone. Both attachments presented similar stress behavior.
