The relationship between bacterial infiltration and internal conical Implant-Abutment Interfaces (IAIs) with different conicities still requires investigations that can offer valuable information in the clinical understanding of peri-implant health. The present study aimed to verify the bacterial infiltration of two internal conical connections with an angulation of 11.5° and 16° with the external hexagonal connection as a comparative after thermomechanical cycling using saliva as a contaminant. Test (n = 10) and control (n = 3) groups were set up. Evaluations were made on torque loss, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Micro Computerized Tomography (MicroCT) after performing 2 × 10 mechanical cycles (120 N) and 600 thermal cycles (5°-55° C) with 2 mm lateral displacement. The contents of the IAI were collected for microbiological analysis. There was a difference ( < 0.05) in torque loss of the groups tested; groups from the 16° IAI obtained a lower percentage of torque loss. All groups presented contamination and the analysis of the results shows that the microbiological profile of the IAI differs qualitatively from the profile found in the saliva used for contamination. The mechanical loading affects the microbiological profile found in the IAIs ( < 0.05). In conclusion, the IAI environment may favor a microbiological profile different from that of saliva and the thermocycling condition may alter the microbial profile found in the IAI.
细菌浸润与不同锥度的内锥形种植体-基台界面(IAIs)之间的关系仍需进一步研究,这些研究可为临床理解种植体周围健康状况提供有价值的信息。本研究旨在验证两种角度分别为11.5°和16°的内锥形连接与外六角连接在以唾液作为污染物进行热机械循环后的细菌浸润情况,并将外六角连接作为对照。设置了试验组(n = 10)和对照组(n = 3)。在进行2×10次机械循环(120 N)和600次热循环(5°-55° C)且有2 mm横向位移后,对扭矩损失、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和微型计算机断层扫描(MicroCT)进行评估。收集IAIs的内容物进行微生物分析。测试组的扭矩损失存在差异(<0.05);16° IAI组的扭矩损失百分比更低。所有组均出现污染,结果分析表明,IAIs的微生物特征在质量上与用于污染的唾液中发现的特征不同。机械加载会影响IAIs中发现的微生物特征(<0.05)。总之,IAI环境可能有利于形成与唾液不同的微生物特征,热循环条件可能会改变IAI中发现的微生物特征。
